Observum
The University’s institution regarding the study of Gods, their power channeled through the will of Observance, and their relationship to Zol. This organization is the only one of its kind within The Three Corners, as attempting to comprehend the Gods from an academic perspective is a challenging task.
The school officially does not fall under the sole banner of a single religion. However, people will be people, and their beliefs and biases always find a way to manifest. The Observum is no stranger to heated debate, crossed lines, and difficult conversations. However it is from these challenging discussions the school derives new philosophy and understanding. It is also know as The University’s best repository of knowledge regarding Zol’s history, as much of the Gods’ influences are hidden within the accounts of the world.
Many people think that the Observum is a beautiful thing, and that the understanding it brings into the world is very important. Others believe that the either the Gods are not meant to be understood academically and the pursuit of this knowledge is a sin, or they think that it is not possible to understand the Gods, and attempting to do so is a waste of time.
Studying Observance is also difficult when compared to Arcana, as it requires a great deal of luck to actually be able to tap into the power. Not only does an individual need to have the mindset required to bond with a greater being, but have the favor of a greater being. The latter is not so easily gained. Because of this, most members of the Observum are non-magical academics.
