College of Wooden Petals

Focus
To open the minds of the public world to a wider knowledge. The school’s overall course is rather extensive, making graduates a rather rare sight, as new knowledge is almost constantly being added to the School’s library, and some lessons must be retaught. Due to this factor, some lectures will end in a class debate, where the ideals taught by the teacher are reflected, and questioned by the students. This is good, while pursuing their mental ascension, they’re put through rigorous training in speech tactics, learning to appeal to the minds of others, improve their own charisma as well as voice their thoughts clearly and in an understanding way. This alone has caused the school to be pursued by those who seek out and further their knowledge in speechcraft.

Graduate are expected to have convinced the Head Master to certify them. Such a feat is near impossible, but the few who do are nearly on the same level as the HM as far as their mental strength goes. This must be attained with a level tone, solid attitude, and with little to no manipulation. Should a graduate be successful in their discussion, they’ll be known as a master of speechcraft and attain a degree in Philosophy as well as monetary compensation for their efforts. What they do with their newfound knowledge is up to them.

History
Originally, the building was naught but an old, abandoned manor. Inside such a manor, young delinquents would hole up and fill the building with narcotics of their choice, staining the walls with the stench of their smokes, causing and keeping the interior as smoky as possible. This continued for years, the numbers increased, and as it did, they communed, no matter the age or species, they’d all join together, add to the smoke or add to the high. Some would bring supplies, nutritious provisions until eventually they worked together to build a kitchen and pantry. Their idealizations and thoughts bubbled, grew, and soon they managed to profit. They became teachers and students, controlling the areas of narcotic use and providing more places to study, to learn, to teach, etc. From here, they opened their doors to more of the public bridging the gap between frequent users of narcotics and those who strayed away from such. All of this, was in pursuit of a similar goal. Knowledge.
