Uvilda Mistcoiler, Dean of Perfection
Home Realm:
Subjects taught:
Uvilda Mistcoiler is the current Dean of Perfection. A master of artistic technique, Uvilda trains with a range of elements whenever she isn’t focused on her teaching. She is known for giving students profoundly insightful feedback, which she tailors to each individual. After a review, she often offers a small piece of advice that alters the student’s point of view and work forever—for the better.
Uvilda believes that good art comes from the head. To her, carefully measured strokes and deliberate object placement make the difference between fully realized art and a total mess. If Dean Nassari interrupts her careful work with bombastic expressions one more time, Uvilda is prepared to enroll in Quandrix to learn how to shrink Nassari.
Nassari, Dean of Expression
Home Realm:
Subjects Taught:
Nassari is the current Dean of Expression. Nassari always wants to see art that is bigger, more radical in concept, and more emotionally powerful. For their final project as a mage-student, Nassari famously “turned in” an earthquake, which almost destroyed three campus buildings. The piece received a standing ovation from the mage-student body—and a grumpy thumbs down from the campus construction golems.
Nassari believes that true expression comes from the heart. They encourage their students to treat the entire world as a canvas on which to spread emotion and excitement. Nassari takes little heed of Dean Mistcoiler’s quiet masterpieces and often feigns forgetfulness about her very existence.
Veyran, Voice of Duality
Home Realm:
Subjects Taught:
In addition to being an accomplished elementalist, Veyran serves as a mentor to many Prismari pledgemages. She advocates enthusiastically for the importance of both passion and disciplined technique in any artistic pursuit. If a new student is upset or overwhelmed, she eagerly calls forth playful, beautiful elemental creatures to cheer up the student.
Zaffai, Thunder Conductor
Home Realm:
Subjects Taught:
As soon as Zaffai came of age, his parents sent him to Strixhaven, assuring him his budding musical genius deserved the finest instruction in the world. (In truth, though he did possess prodigious talent, they were also growing tired of their house being randomly struck by lightning or engulfed in cyclones whenever he practiced.) Even as he flourished as both mage and musician, he discovered a new aptitude: conducting.
In addition to teaching, he serves as Grand Maestro of Strixhaven’s Orchestra of the Arcane, an elite extracurricular activity for top Prismari students. They practice only outdoors, and their concerts fill the sky with beautiful explosions of elemental magic.
Arkin Minexes
Home Realm: Faerun
Subjects Taught: Dance
Arkin is a newly hired instructor teaching a few courses in choreography and dance ensembles. He recently graduated from Strixhaven himself, and he bubbles with excitement at the prospect of guiding a new generation of students on the course of study he so greatly enjoyed. He particularly delights in finding new ways to help students work collaboratively to unlock the heights of their creative potential.
Students
Nora Ann Wu
Cohort: Sophomore
Lineage: Human
Home Realm: New Capenna
Activities: Distinguished Society of Fine Artists, RA
Rarely without a smile on her face, Nora is a kind person who is generous with her time and attention. Nora offers confidential support to any student and is especially passionate about counseling other transgender students. She thoughtfully handles concerns ranging from students’ homesickness to matters that require her to act as an advocate for another student.
Nora is a passionate member of the Distinguished Society of Fine Artists. As such, she spends hours on the potter’s wheel throwing clay. Despite her enthusiasm, her technical skill is lacking. Her tutors, in attempts to be encouraging, often describe Nora’s work as rustic or naive. Undeterred, Nora continues to produce terrible mug after terrible mug, which she gives as gifts to her friends.
Gallia of the Endless Dance
Cohort: Junior
Lineage: Satyr
Home Realm: Theros
Activities: Student Government (Event Planner), Intramural Gymnastics, Bow's End Tavern server
Gallia's exuberance for life borders on nihilism. A party girl through and through, she's the campus Event Planner and the best friend of Felisa Fang. Given how much and how often she parties, how she manages to stay off academic probation is local mystery. She can oftentimes be found napping in Archway Commons or bartending at Bow's End.
Quentillius Antiphiun Melentor III
Cohort: Sophomore
Lineage: Human
Home Realm: Faerun
Activities: Dead Languages Society, Playactors Drama Guild
Quentillius approaches all his endeavors with the utmost seriousness. He believes one should either do something correctly or not at all. Quentillius is a member of the university’s Playactors Drama Guild, where his dedication to what he calls “the craft” is absolute. He looks down on other actors who are slow to memorize lines or who miss cues. Backstage crew members fare better, as Quentillius regards them as crucial and often brings them and the director flowers or notes of thanks. While Quentillius is a powerful presence on stage—especially in romantic roles—critics have called his performances histrionic. To better perform his future roles in ancient plays, Quentillius has joined the Dead Languages Society. He plans to perform his roles in the plays’ original languages, regardless of whether the rest of the production is translated.
Zanther Bowen
Cohort: Junior
Lineage: Genasi
Home Realm: Kaldheim
Activities: Intramural Gymnastics Club, Mage Tower Cheer Squad
One of the most popular students on campus, Zanther is a member of the Mage Tower Cheer Squad, and his exceptional athleticism has earned him the position as the squad’s primary flyer. As such, Zanther is launched into the air in elaborate cheering routines, much to the crowd’s delight.
Zanther has also joined the Intramural Gymnastics Club. Here he completes at rhythmic gymnastics in both ribbon as well as hoop. To further test himself and impress the judges, Zanther conducts his routines to a vast array of different musical styles and arrangements. When traveling around campus between classes, he shouts random affirmations of school spirit to everyone at large. Despite his peppy nature, Zanther is genuinely encouraging and in no way acts superior. If anything, he seems somewhat oblivious to his own popularity at Strixhaven.
Rowan & Will
Cohort: Senior
Lineage: Human
Home Realm: Eldraine
Activities: Dragonsguard Historical Society (Will), LARP (Rowan)
The twin heirs of the throne of Eldraine, Rowan and Will Kenrith can seemingly do no wrong in any professor's eyes. Popular, friendly, and talented, they are Strixhaven's golden children. Rowan is more tempestuous than her twin brother, and has a reputation as a hot-headed risk taker. Will, on the other hand, appears even-keel and wise beyond his years. Together, they lead many adventures and excursions, and spend their summers traversing the multiverse performing heroic actions.
In their home realm of Eldraine, nobody has heard from them since they left for Strixhaven. There, it is widely feared that they met an untimely demise. Here, the Kenriths seem to be having the times of their young lives, oblivious to any strife in Eldraine.
