Institute Center

The Institute of Lecherous Learning Academic and Administrative Center, or Institute Center as it is called by most, is the primary building of the the Institute, a building for public lecture halls, faculty and staff offices, and a shrine welcome seekers of knowledge.

Description

Past the grand doors of the Institute is an open entryway, a message board stands a bit in, offers of scribing services, or news about upcoming classes and lectures being posted, in the center of the board is a brilliant crest that reads the rules of the Institute of Lecherous Learning, the center point of all the rules being the consents of all those involved in the activities, be it the teaching, living, or praise.

Windows allow light in from the front courtyard, and heavy polished oak doors with plates identify various classrooms, while upstairs some indicate personal offices or store rooms. The marbled floors are cleaned and shine, each classroom is prepared in advanced to accommodate the teachers, students, and class that is being taught. One room is set aside, open to the public despite not being a classroom, instead it has been dedicated as a small chapel to a goddess known as Mystress.

The back of the building has another serries of doors leading to nothing but rock, once more a reminder that the institute may not be fully excavated, or, may have not fully entered Paradisium.

Behind the great stairs going up, are stairs heading down into the Undercrofts, typically guarded with a sign posted, warning of dangers that lurk.

History

The ancient history of Institute of Lecherous Learning is shaded, the journals and maps that Lazuli have found indicate that the Institute comprised of multiple buildings. Having to use comprehend languages to understand the labels of the map, it was discovered the Library of Carnal Knowledge was marked 'building housing books for study and fun', the building that would take the name Institute of Lecherous Learning was labeled in what translated to 'center of student service and education', and the cluster of buildings currently known as Wizarding Towers was labeled upon the map as 'The Hand of the Universe', although the reasoning for this is unknown as it seems to break the patterns otherwise noticed.

Other buildings were marked, but are either unexcavated, were destroyed, or simply did not make it to Paradisium, upon the maps that Lazuli has they are labeled 'selling of material for study', which was at some point destroyed as it was found to be a foundation and rubble. Four other buildings are located as such that their fates are not as well known. The first unknown building is labeled 'Esoteric study of the reunition of the divine form and deriving the natural world.' The second building is labeled as 'Study of the threads of everything through raw material that is to be woven.' The third building is labeled as 'Mechanization of the woven material into the benefits of general populations.' The fourth building is labeled as 'Ur-example of educational studies of foundational text and study.'

Lazuli discovered and founded the Institute of Lecherous Learning, based off the maps, and with funds raised from the denizens of Paradisium to fund exploration and reconstruction. The Institute of Lecherous Learning was stripped of rotting and destroyed furniture and relics, those that seemed that they could be salvaged were documented and set aside for further study.

Meanwhile, despite plans to renovate the Institute Grounds, the artificial sun seemed to burn away the old, dead plants and new plants grew rapidly, and new furniture was setup, rooms were made into lecture halls and offices, and Lazuli opened the Institute officially. A few months later, Lazuli paid to have the foundation cleared off, and opened the Institute's Book Store.

Lazuli is not stopping in her plans for the Institute, between exploration and study of the Institute Undercrofts, learning more of the Wizarding Towers and unlocking the secrets of the other three, investigation into the artificial sun, and planning for additional excavations to uncover the remaining lost buildings, if they still exist.
