This article is also available at the Nyrond Website, and an outline of the university can be seen on the Map of Rel Mord.

Rel Mord University is a federation of a few different colleges working under a unified charter set aside by royal decree in 268CY. Some of the colleges existed before hand, some have been added afterward. The charter establishes a Council of eighteen members including three representatives from each College, two members from the more recently created Endebar hall, three members appointed by the crown and finally the Chancellor, who is elected every five years.

The university used to be individual groupings of buildings which were close to each other. Over the years these buildings were expanded and eventually merged into a larger eclectic structure which stretches across many city blocks, with a large open area in its center. To the south of the University is the Royal Annals, which is only loosely affiliated with the university. Wandering through the university can be a confusing task, and one easily will get lost in its maze of century old winding and weaving passages and stairs. Each college is fairly independent from each other, and there is much redundancy in curriculum's and areas of study. However, despite this there is still a decidedly unique flavor to each college.

HAWKWOOD COLLEGE
This college is a founding member of the university, and was originally established in 117CY. It continues to have a strong militaristic attitude in its structure, and while it is not a war college, it is best known for its military studies. Students at Hawkwood maintain a strict sense of martial order, and can be seen drilling each morning on the open grounds of the university. These students come from well-todo merchants and noble families.

THE WADROLL SCHOOL
The Wadroll School is a founding member of the University, and was originally established in 68CY by the Wizards Guild of Rel Mord. Its primary focus is arcane studies.

HILDEBARD PARK
Hildebard Park is a founding member of the University, and was established in 210 CY as a school for well to do merchants. Their main focus is educating their students on how to behave in civilized society, teaching history, letters as well as the science of business.

THE COLLEGE OF AUTGARIUS
The College of Autgarius is a founding member of the University, and is the oldest college of Rel Mord, tracing its roots to -43CY. It was started as a tutoring center for the children of the nobility. It still maintains an elite attitude, and very few students are accepted who do not have a certifiable pedigree of some sort. The College of Autgarius is best known for its History, Arts and Theology curriculums, but it also has a School of Metaphysical studies. This school has been the center of much debate against the Wadroll students, who consider it to be baseless and unfounded. Its primary focus is to try to scientifically analyze and reproduce the arts of the Arcane and even Divine.

ENDEBAR HALL
Endebar Hall was established by the crown in 523CY as an institute to focus on civil sciences, such as architecture, engineering, agricultural science and road building. Students of Endebar Hall often believe they are the only ones who truly know any form of practical science.
