College of Lightning

Tier: 3W

Cloudspire’s center of high learning. Highly selective; they only issue one scholarship per year. 

Turf

The College (HQ, Raptor’s Talon) 

NPCs

Dean Archibald Rutherford Clay II (principled, stern, quick wit, well-tailored, hungry), Professor Albany (experimental, temperamental, transcendental), Celene (visiting professor, strict, ladder climber)

Notable Assets

tons of tomes, a window into the mines, a deep rolodex of wealthy patrons/alumni

Quirks

the college’s domed observatory is mirrored underground; a little known fact of the College’s construction. What’s known even less is what the academics can see below that bowl.

Allies

Cult of the Rising Sun, The Red Sashes, The Unseen, The Vault, The Vultures

Enemies

Factum Factotum, Rogue’s Gallery

Situation

The Factotum Institute is growing, literally, into/onto the College. Dean Clay wants to turn this inconvenience into an advantage. If the Dean can find a reliable way to infiltrate, the secrets of the Institute can be folded into new curricula.
