Located in the city of Hughsrest, capitol city of Conquista, la Universidad de la Conquista is localled revered as the domain's oldest and largest house of learning. It is first mentioned in Quoth the Raven Issue 30, in the Conquista Gazetteer.
Regrettably, the scholar Ciska reports that while la Universidad is a beautiful complex, it is not a true house of education. Students are required to engage in rote learning, with the ability to repeat lessons word for word held in much higher esteem than that to actually understand them. The ability to repeat lessons is even the basis for passing exams.
La Universidad boasts a library that contains all surviving texts written by the original Viejos Sagrados, and could be a wellspring of scientific knowledge. Unfortunately, the library is closed off to students and researchers alike, with only educators allowed to remove texts - and only those approved by the head of college and the resident chaplain of Taiia. (Ciska, having secured illicite entrance into the library, is highly complimentary of the books secured within.)
