Kianne, Dean of Substance
Home Realm: Zendikar
Subjects Taught:
Brilliant and eccentric, Dean Kianne is one of the preeminent mana scholars of the world. She has visited and studied countless bizarre magical phenomena, from snarls to star arches to ancient shrines. She loves to share her wild theories with anyone who will listen.
Kianne believes in using mathematics to better understand nature. She places an emphasis on practical magic that improves daily life through applied calculations. She rolls her eyes at Dean Imbraham’s theories, dismissing them as evidence that her fellow dean lives in an imaginary world.
Ibraham, Dean of Theory
Home Realm:
Subjects Taught:
Dean Imbraham is stern and shrewd, with a mind as piercing as his curved beak. He is known for the unnerving habit of fully rotating his head around to address his students, while still rapidly chalking up complex theorems and equations on a chalkboard. Imbraham loves numbers more than people or the out-of-doors; some say he hasn’t gone outside certain chambers of the Quandrix campus in years.
Imbraham wants nothing more than to crack the mysteries of the world through dauntingly complex theories. He offers his students standing bounties on any of his unsolved equations.
Adrix and Nev, Twincasters
Home Realm: Theros
Subjects Taught:
The twins Adrix and Nev grew up literally swimming in magic, in an ocean region near a powerful magical snarl. At an early age, they began to see patterns in the tides and currents that eluded even the most esteemed scholars of their society. Once, they saved a hundred lives by predicting the sudden arrival of a tsunami, despite the deceptively calm seas—washing away any doubts in their prowess.
Adrix and Nev now teach as a duo, blending mastery of both of Quandrix’s philosophical perspectives. They constantly debate the merits of various esoteric mathematical principles, but if one of their students is in danger, they leap into action in perfect harmony.
Deekah, Fractal Theorist
Home Realm:
Subjects Taught: Fractal theory
Deekah sees the world as an endless sequence of interconnected equations, which to her is the most beautiful thing imaginable. She explores new theorems by giving them physical form, and her exquisite geometric creations are thrilling sights on campus.
Ruxa
Home Realm: Eldraine
Subjects Taught: Accounting, statistics, mathematics.
Ruxa looks like a bipedal brown bear and knows that wild new theories, though exciting, are worthless without a deep understanding of the basics. He teaches students of all levels, and even his most experienced pupils benefit from a much deeper understanding of the fundamental building blocks of the world.
Students
Cadoras Damellawar
Cohort: Junior
Lineage: Elf
Home Realm: Eldraine
Activities: Distinguished Society of Fine Artists, Live-Action Roleplaying Guild
Cadoras is a jolly soul, and anyone who spends time with him ends up chuckling at whatever nonsense he is currently sporting. He is a passionate member of the Live-Action Roleplaying Guild and loves playing out all sorts of fantastical adventures. He always roleplays archers, entirely because he’s recently spent a lot of money on a prop-bow and can’t afford anything else. He is also a member of the university’s Distinguished Society of Fine Artists, where he uses magic to sculpt beautiful statuary of complex fractal patterns. The fact that he is self-taught makes the quality of his work that much more impressive.
Cadoras does have some strange eating habits; he sometimes eats an entire jar of pickled onions in a single sitting and then drinks the vinegar.
Drazhomir Yarnask
Cohort: Senior
Lineage: Minotaur
Home Realm: Ikoria
Activities: Dead Languages Society, Biblioplex Book Clerk
Drazhomir is so soft-spoken that many of his peers must ask him to speak up to be understood. He is over seven feet tall, yet he continuously stoops, as if trying to occupy as little space as possible. Several activities and clubs that involve feats of strength and size continuously try to recruit him—to no avail. Drazhomir prefers spending his time in the Biblioplex, where he works as a book clerk, assisting students in finding required texts and shelving returns. He moves silently through the stacks, and he has given more than one student a scare when they’ve turned around to suddenly find him there.
Drazhomir’s greatest love is poetry. As a member of the university’s Dead Languages Society, he scours ancient literature for stirring poems written in old tongues, reading them to the rest of the group in a soft, resonant voice that comes directly from his soul.
Larina Arneza
Cohort: Sophomore
Lineage: Human
Home Realm: Faerun
Activities: Intramural Water-Dancing Club, Strixhaven Performing Arts Society ticket taker
Some think Larine is aloof to the point of being rude, but her friends say that nothing is further from the truth. She is a delightful presence and doesn’t ignore social obligations so much as get distracted easily. Larine is a member of the Intramural Water-Dancing Club, where she performs underwater balletic movements effortlessly. Despite her swimming ability, her tendency to lose focus means learning group choreography takes her more time and effort. Larine has a natural affinity with animals, especially aquatic species, and she’s working on a solo synchronized swimming routine that replaces the other students with a shoal of fish. Rehearsals aren’t going well. As an employee of the Strixhaven Performing Arts Society, Larine is a ticket taker, a job she’s recently switched to as a result of struggling to give correct change while working at the box office.
Tilana Kapule
Cohort: Sophomore
Lineage: Human
Home Realm: Faerun
Activities: Student Government (Secretary), Dragonchess Club, Intramural Silkball Club
Tilana’s poised demeanor and steady gaze are remarkable. An excellent judge of character, she doesn’t associate with those she deems mean-spirited. Her exacting judgment has led her to join the Dragonchess Club, and while she is still honing her skill at the game itself, she compensates by reading her opponent instead of the board. Many a foe has struggled to sit in silence as she gives them her full attention, probing for weaknesses, the pieces seemingly incidental.
Surprising to some, Tilana has also joined the Intramural Silkball Club. During matches, she focuses on trying to understand and preempt the opposing sides’ strategies. More than once she has suggested new plays mid-game that have caught the opposing team off guard. The faculty at Strixhaven are convinced that, if she wished, one day Tilana would make an excellent professor.
