Arcanum of Magic

The Arcanum of Magic, also known as the Great University, was a prominent university and temple dedicated to Thoth, a common combination among Thothian temples. It was also the center of Thoth worship in Mulhorand. 
==Location==
The Arcanum was located in the northern part of Gheldaneth, adjacent to a wizard's college available only to Thoth's clergy.
==Structure==
The Arcanum was the largest building in all of Gheldaneth, with its towers lining the city's northern wall.
==Activities==
This university taught students of various ages how to count, read, and write. It also taught basic information on the Mulhorandi pantheon and the history of Mulhorand.
==Inhabitants==
Operation of the Arcanum was conducted by the Scribes' Guild.
Attending the Arcanum was compulsory for all citizens of Gheldaneth, even slaves. This occurred frequently during childhood and adults annually came to be retested. The most exemplary of students received invitations to join the Scribes' Guild. In addition to students, the Arcanum was home to a secret order of Thoth worshiping archivists known as the Order of Ibis, which was founded following an excavation of a forgotten complex beneath the university.
