This large classroom is used at various times for general instruction and the more specialized classes. Worktables with chairs sit in rows facing a larger table and lectern. The walls are painted a cheerful powder blue with cream accents and the tables are painted a soft grey. In one corner, a group of anatomical skeletons are grouped for comparison.

[Academy, Lecture Hall]
Cheery, attentive students sit on polished wooden benches gazing up at an instructor jotting notes on a black slate board. The teacher is animated in his lecturing, and seems truly engrossed in his subject. Against the back wall is a banner reading "Knowledge is the key to unlocking many doors."
Ratha
[Ratha, Small House]
An aging female S'Kra rests in a nest of pillows beside a small fire. In her scaled hand, she holds a copy of Moliko the Balance's treatise on justice. Above the fire, a small portrait of the woman as a young girl gleams in the light.
Aesry Surlaenis'a
[Ger Ilerthan, Isinrel]
Scores of books fill the plain shelves lining the walls of the room, many written by Ilerthan herself. A low table, surrounded by scholars of all races, rests in the center of the room. A priest of Lemicus dusts the books and shelves.
Shard
[Temple of Light, Dim Alcove]
A single candle burns steadily on a long wooden table here. The stone bench pushed up against it looks hard and cold, but a beautiful illuminated book lies open on the table's surface, beckoning those who seek the wisdom of the gods to sit and study.
Hibarnhvidar
[Outer Hibarnhvidar, Fortuneteller's Tent]
Beneath a colorful sign draped along the length of the tent's roof is a small round table covered in a loud paisley-patterned cloth. A thick scent of incense permeates the air, and the room is dimly illuminated by a single lantern shielded with red glass. Seated in the back is an elderly Gor'Tog woman wearing dangly earrings and a folded kerchief on her head. You also see a tent flap.
