The Scholars of Life
Hello dear reader,
This post is to reach out to anyone seeking to unlock the secrets of the life forces of Elyria through research. The Scholars of Life is a dual-school collaboration formed and based out of the City of Raivenhal in Solas Siedrellia.
The Schools
The Scholars of Life are broken into two primary and generalized schools of focus. Plant life and Animal Life.
School of Botany
The School of Botany is, at its core, focused on all things involving plant life in Elyria. Be that optimal crop production, research into alchemical ingredients and their uses, and so on. This school intends to accommodate all branches of research it deems capable of pursuit around the concept of that which grows around us.
School of Zoology
This School focuses its resources into research on animals, the living beasts of the world. If it breathes, eats, procreates, our Zoology Scholars have an interest in it for one reason or another. Be that the consideration of breeding as a Mount, or perhaps usefulness as a livestock or pet.
What roles are available in this group of Scholars?
To answer that accurately, I have yet need of more information from SBS. Roles that can certainly be filled without question are as follows:
-Ranchers/Farmers. Handling the "dirty work" is just as important as the research. And there is nothing to say you can't do both.
-Tamers/Gatherers. More of a field researcher? Looking for a bit of Adventure? Tamers seek out new and wild beasts to bring under Mann's control, and Gatherers would find themselves looking for new Flora across the lands. Both would bring their new findings home to Raivenhal for further research and new applications to be made of them.
-General Scholars. All those within the Scholars of Life are also considered Townsmen of Raivenhal, be it their true home or not. General Scholars will no doubt be needed to fill in the spots of researching where field operatives choose not, or simply do not, have time to do.
The blending of the two schools will also make for many "middle ground" research fields. Dabbling in Alchemy for instance, or the formation of new textiles, new foods and recipes, new medicinal practices and treatments... the possibilities are endless.
None of these positions are set in stone, and in game you will of course be free to pick up new interests or focuses. This is a freely made and publicly open group, as we will be working through the School system of the game for the good of all Mannkind. If you feel as I do, that there are secrets worth unlocking within the life forces of Elyria.
One Special Note for anyone with a Scholarly group of their own:
If you would like to collaborate, share research notes, and so on please do feel free to reach out to me. The Scholars of Life are already actively working along side The Tree of Knowledge Library and the Animal Husbandry Association.
Thank you for your time, and have a good time in CoE!
