Notes on the college when you arrive:
The weather is brutally cold. After the few hours of daylight the temperature stays below zero. The river is frozen solid and food is scarce. Arion's first edict, that the kingdom send relief to the starving Elven refugees, has not proven popular but the city dwellers are in no danger.
The presence of Malchia, Enzo, Montaron, and briefly Owen, is the talk of a sparsely populated campus. The new school term starts in two weeks. Three of the Deans visit the tower to meet with all of you: Fulcren Granitebreaker, the acting dean, who primarily is interested in speaking with Montaron, who is the most powerful cleric of Smofarf to visit is some time, as the dean is a devout follower of Smofarf. He also speaks to Russel hoping for word of Allanda's return or Iyuae's recovery.
Dean Hawklyn wants to hear of the Collector and does not like what he hears. The dean also approaches Malchia and asks to discuss the items of Questin.
Dean Haskra, the purple hued Sakor'akai and Mystic Thurge of Smofarf, is also interested in speaking with Montaron but spends time with the group asking questions about the cult, looking for links to the cults at work here in Icefia.
