History
The University of Flannary was established after Alexandria's Crusade in 3 BI shortly before the official inception of the church with the stated purpose to spread learning, train clerics, and rebuild civilization. It was the first University to be launched after the vast political, religious, and magical changes wrought by Alexandria. It would be so successful in this mission that, within a decade, a second university in Fresia would be established for the same purpose. From the early days of the University noble houses were expected to employ a large number of religious consultants, tutors, and ministers, and provide host for a large number of elaborate ceremonies on their lands employing many who were educated through religious institutions, up through the University of Flannary. The University was officially given over to the Flannari Episocpacy in 212 FI. Throughout most of the history of Flannary noble families were expected to educate their children (and pay tuition) at this university as well.
Colleges
The University of Flannary is divided into 5 major divisions as colleges which focus on specific needs of the Flannary state, providing specialized educated workers for many politically and economically key roles across the nation. Traditionally nobles would attend the same college as one of their parents depending on their place in the family succession. Other minor nobility and skilled peasants were instead selected for entry to be trained for specific career paths.
