Rise of the Runelords

Turandarok Academy is both a school and orphanage, providing education and shelter to Sandpoint’s youth. Built early in the town’s history, it was designed to keep children from idleness and trouble while offering a safe haven for orphans. The ground floor serves as a classroom, where students learn reading, arithmetic, and history, while the upper floor houses orphans in simple but comfortable dormitories. Though the building shows signs of wear, it remains well-maintained and welcoming. Beneath the academy lies its most mysterious feature—a locked basement, claimed entirely by Headmaster Ilsoari Gandethus. The children whisper wild rumors about what lurks below—goblin farms, phantom spiders, or even the Sandpoint Devil. In truth, it holds Ilsoari’s collection of relics, maps, and adventuring trophies, though he enjoys letting the myths persist. Despite these mysteries, the academy remains a pillar of learning and security in Sandpoint.

The academy boasts stately stone walls and large windows, exuding an inviting charm. Inside, classrooms are organized with neatly arranged desks, while cozy living quarters offer shared bedrooms and a vibrant play area.
