Gurgle Hall

Gurgle Hall is a first year dormitory at Khurash Academy. Situated near the northeastern end of campus, it is popular with incoming Pegasus Polo players and handlers due to the dorm's proximity to the Khurash Pegasus Stables and Valens Stadium.

People frequently call it **Gargoyle Hall**, seeing as how the building has a gargoyle protector (the silent guardian named **Gilboa**), but it is named after a gnomish patron named Helmuth von Gurgle who donated large sums to the university. A helpful blue circular plaque near the door attests to this history.

The dorm is a 4 story timber framed building with six dorm rooms per floor. Each room houses two students that have been randomly assigned, save for the one penthouse apartment where the dorm supervisor lives. That makes for a dorm with 48 students under normal circumstances.
