The premier academic institution of Era 2 Scadrial. Center of Allomantic and Feruchemical research, legal studies, and scientific advancement. Where Marasi Colms studies law and investigative science.
Elendel University represents Scadrial's intellectual evolution — the Metallic Arts, once secret traditions or feared weapons, are now subjects of academic study. Researchers measure Allomantic output, categorize Feruchemical storage rates, and theorize about Hemalurgy's mechanisms. The university also trains lawyers, constables, and engineers who staff the Basin's growing bureaucracy. Marasi's academic background in Allomantic theory and legal procedure makes her uniquely valuable as an investigator. The university embodies Era 2's central tension: the systematization and democratization of knowledge that was once the province of the powerful few.
A campus of stately stone buildings with modern additions — lecture halls, libraries, laboratories, and research facilities. Well-maintained grounds with walking paths between buildings. The Allomantic research wing features specialized testing chambers. Students and professors in academic dress move between classes alongside constables-in-training.
