History of Strixhaven

Our esteemed institution was founded by five elder dragons. These Founder Dragons were among the first to master magic, and they realized that only through disciplined study would magic be safe in the hands of other people.

They founded Strixhaven to facilitate that study and established the five colleges based on the magic that each dragon mastered.

Lord Velomachus Lorehold founded the College of Archaeomancy.

Basileia Galazeth Prismari founded the College of the Elements

Magus Tanazir Quandrix founded the College of Numeromancy.

Patron Shadrix Silverquill founded the College of Eloquence.

Vates Beledros Witherbloom founded the College of Essence Studies.

Not only did they bestow to the planes the knowledge necessary to understand the Weave, they have become the emblems with which Strixhaven strives to mirror.

To this day, the Founder Dragons roam the world. They no longer associate directly with Strixhaven, preferring to let the deans of the colleges speak in their stead. The dragons’ knowledge is vast, but their tempers can prove short. Mages seek them out only to learn the most elusive secrets.
