Runeforge

The Runeforge is a pocket dimension crafted by the combined efforts of the seven Magelords long in the past. Designed to be a secure location where their most skilled and trusted subordinates could work on joint projects that would benefit the whole group, it is almost impossible to access. Opening a portal here requires seven skilled arcane casters each simultaneously performing a secret ritual at a remote location using particular artifacts marked by the Magelords themselves. Once arrived, time flows strangely as it does for all extraplanar locations; however, it is extremely stable and allows Materians to exist within it indefinitely without need for food or sleep, even going so far as to stop their aging. It is impossible for those within the plane to contact anyone outside and vice versa, excepting the Magelords themselves, so those who study here are effectively cut off from the world. 
The pocket dimension has been named after its most central feature, the Runeforge: a fountain that can fuse energies from multiple schools in a way that allows for the creation of powerful artifacts. Branching from the fountain room are seven passageways, each which leads to the proprietary studies and labs of the seven schools. Each has been designed and decorated in a manner befitting the ideals of the school it represents.
After the fall of Valpariso, the Runeforge was abandoned for millennia despite there still being numerous wizards in residence there. The isolated groups fell to infighting and languor, reducing their numbers to merely a handful in most departments at best: the entire wing of Abjuration and everyone in it was eventually destroyed after the wizards there attempted an uprising to conquer the central room for themselves; Avazeen, the head of Necromancy, killed and used all of his subordinates for parts, and; the only resident wizard left in Enchantment died from an incurable disease, despite his best efforts to thwart it.
