The Regalian Institute of Academia
The Regalian Institute of Academia, The Institute for short, was established in the month of October of 306 AC by Imperial Scholar Alderik Kade. Despite its establishment in October Alderik Kade forgot he had created it for a period of several weeks before happening upon the document again in the middle of November. The Regalian Institute of Academia is an organization whose goal is to provide an open and accessible place for all current or would-be intellectuals of all disciplines to come and discuss their past, current, and future work with their peers. The Institute branches into every discipline and provides a number of things for its members not included to tuition, grounds and supplies for experimentation, an open space for thinking, leadership opportunities, and betterment of self.
