Arcanum

Set on its own massive demiplane, the city of Arcanum's skyline is dominated by the foremost college of the arcane in the universe; the Arcanum Institute. The city itself was built to provide housing and services to the Institute and its members, students, and teachers.
Although a popular stop for traving arcanists and others seeking arcane knowledge, goods, or services, the Institute is strict in who it lets actually take up long-term residence or operate a business in its city. A lengthy and thorough application process is applied to any hopeful residents or merchants.
Order is kept in Arcanum by the Battlemagi, a small organization of combat-capable arcanists led by Shae Medrin, who also teaches Abjuration at the Institute. In addition to their own capabilities, the Institute has constructed for the Battlemagi a retinue of powerful Golems designed to protect the city and college from large-scale attack.
===As a Plane===
Arcanum appears as a massive expanse of flat stone tiles, set in a seemingly infinite dark blue space with an illusory sun that matches the time of day on the Prime. At night, Arcanum's sky is decorated with far-off white stars. The entire plane is lit by a gentle, blue light (although interiors are often lit by more traditional light sources). Arcanum is coterminous with the Trave, and has a dedicated gate linking it to Centroid City.
Arcanum has the following planar traits:
*Self-Contained Shape The dark blue space that the city is finite, but loops in upon itself at its ends.
*Enhanced Magic Arcane spells are enhanced.
