An academic institution in [[Docktown]], and the largest [[Catastrophe|precatastrophic]] institution of higher learning on [[Equus]] today. It is one of only two such institutions in the [[Dusts]] not dedicated exclusively to professional studies such as magecraft or [[Medicine|medicine]]. (The other is [[Hayminnow University]] in [[Canner City]].) The university has a noted library. Its faculty have taken the lead in the organized excavation of old Docktown, and although much renovation and new construction has taken place without their involvement, an excellent museum of precatastrophic artifacts has been developed all the same.

The university’s motto, from reopening in 2101 AE to the present, is ''Post calamitātēs spērābimus lūcem'' (After the calamity, we shall hope for light.) The former motto was ''Ex oriente, lux''. (From the east (or, daybreak), light.)
