Tabletop Lore

The centerpiece and most grand building of the university, the ground level houses the Founders’ Dining Hall. This grandiose hall serves as the social anchor where students gather to receive their daily dinners and lunches. While attendance to such communal meals is entirely voluntary, scholars are seldom known to pass up a feast already covered by their steep academic tuitions. The culinary mastery found within these stone walls far surpasses any meager tavern fare found elsewhere in the surrounding city, brought fresh and steaming from the massive arcane kitchens hidden away in the basement vaults below.
