All members of Changeling society are expected to learn here in their youth. Those who seek further knowledge may be invited to do so, and pursue and academic career.

The Eelynn also acts as a place of worship within Pheridian religion.

“To comprehend what was lost.”

The Eelynn was formed to better structure Changelings and their cities under the rule of The Pattern. They quickly became institutions of greater learning like that of The Arts, Mathematics, History, and Magic. All of these branches of study are channeled through the perspective of The Oldshards.

The people of The Glassius Reach know that they once possessed the knowledge of what The Oldshards were, and how to use them. However it was lost during The Undoing. The Eelynn not only seeks to give its people a fundamental education, but understand what The Oldshards are.

Formed under the ideals of The Pattern, and grown to understand The Oldshards themselves.
