=The College of Antiquities=
The University hosts expeditions into neighboring and faraway lands alike, a responsibility currently under the College of Antiquities. While the College has originally been created to archive and work with the many antiquities and ruins scattered about the Continent, it also has since opened up an official exploration arm in order to ensure that the relics found by the College is handled by the College's own standards. There has been grievous instances in the past in which independent adventurers the College has contracted would damage or even steal some of the more fragile and valuable relics they were supposed to study. In the current age, the College plays largely in assisting military units with the scouting of otherwise uncharted areas, oddly enough giving the College substantial political clout.

The current Master of Antiquities is '''Arrin Vola'''.

==The Department of Exploration==
This is the aforementioned exploration arm of the College. It runs in a standardized apprenticeship format, choosing eligible students studying at the University and inviting them into its apprenticeship program. After learning the basics of exploration, an apprentice becomes a journeyman, in which he or she will partake in an independent study of an area outside of the Empire's borders of his or her choice. Upon approval of the Head Explorer, the journeyman is graduated to become a master, in which he or she can either become an independent explorer or join the ranks of the University as an Assistant Explorer.

The current Head Explorer is '''Percival R. Corvinoth'''.

==The Department of History==
Though exploration is important to the College and the Empire as a whole, the relics found are of little use unless meaning can be gleaned from them. This is where the Historians come in. In this Department, students are taught to use a myriad of scientific and magical means to date relics and place them into various cultures. They are also taught to use an inferred thought process to determine what relics could have been used for during their time. Sometimes they are able to carefully deconstruct a relic to see its inner workings. Sometimes they have to rely on previous texts and accounts of the relic's time and place of origin to figure out what it did. Most importantly, they are taught to determine what meaning the relic has on the world's history at large. When students graduate from the Department, they become an Assistant Historian to work alongside other Historians. When they gain enough clout, they can start working on independent projects thereafter.

The current Head Historian is unknown.
