⚫	'''Uman Isle''' is an island in the southern hemisphere of [[Shadow World]] between the continents of [[Pillar of the Gods\|Thuul]] and Falias. [[Emer]] is directly north of it. It is difficult to reach because of storm reasons and unstable [[flows of essence]]. The island possesses a dead volcano that is now filled with a lake, hiding a college of magic run by Loremasters, with no relation to the [[Loremaster]]s of the not-too-distant College of [[Karilon]]. Karilon ~~was~~ hidden off the north side of Thuul to the southwest of Emer, while the college of the "hidden tarn" on Uman Isle ~~was~~ on the east side of Thuul and south of Emer.

'''Uman Isle''' is an island in the southern hemisphere of [[Shadow World]] between the continents of [[Pillar of the Gods|Thuul]] and Falias. [[Emer]] is directly north of it. It is difficult to reach because of storm reasons and unstable [[flows of essence]]. The island possesses a dead volcano that is now filled with a lake, hiding a college of magic run by Loremasters, with no relation to the [[Loremaster]]s of the not-too-distant College of [[Karilon]]. Karilon was hidden off the north side of Thuul to the southwest of Emer, while the college of the "hidden tarn" on Uman Isle was on the east side of Thuul and south of Emer.

==History==
The cone of the volcano collapsed early in the [[Second Era]] of the Shadow World history. It was then filled with water from rain and an underground spring, forming a "hidden tarn" beneath a cloud of mist. The University of Magical Arts is hidden in this location, where reality has been warped using a powerful flow of essence.

This is an example of a spirit from the "spirit world", rather than the spirits of living creatures. Such spirits are easily [[The Broken Lands and ki-lin: Part 3 (log)|tainted by impurities]] to their environment when brought into this world, much like more familiar sprites and nymphs.

===University of Magical Arts===
The University of Magical Arts was founded by Elves early in the Second Era. They called themselves Loremasters and trained Elven leaders to be able to resist and fight the forces of the Unlife. Following the [[Wars of Dominion]] and the decline of the Elves, the student population became increasingly more human. The last Elven Master left the school in 1050 [[Third Era]]. The Loremasters attempted to regulate magical thought through the increased hierarchy and rigidity of the school, since the humans were more easily manipulated than Elven scholars, but ultimately gave up and became content to observe.

'''(A) Colleges of Learning'''

The College of Natural Magic is the one that controls the weather, even though they are what we would call spiritualists. The University consists of five Colleges of Learning:

* College of Natural Magic (Channeling)
* College of Divine Magic (Channeling)
* College of Mental Magic (Mentalism)
* College of Essential Magic (Essence)
* College of Arcane Magic ([[DragonRealms#Magic|Hybrid and Arcane]])

'''(B) Faculty'''

Each profession is represented by a single Master, who grooms their finest student as a protege to be their replacement. These are overseen by the Headmaster of the given college and realm of magic, who is less specialized and exists to give the Masters humility over their limited perspectives. The five Headmasters are overseen by the single Arch-Mage of the University who lives in isolation.
