<spoiler>First::Most of 'em got killed within an hour or so of arriving. But then, Elmetaph will teach the player "The secrets they weren't old students of mine. You remember any of teleportation" if they have amethysts in their possessionmy lessons?:::'''No, I don't remember you or anything about this place, I'm afraid.''':::Well, shit. Then you're not going to survive long here. The amethysts can be found in several different placesplace is overrun with creepy crawlies now, but once since no students come for their battle tests anymore.::::'''Students used to come here?'''::::Well it's a player picks up amethystsstate secret, new spawns are no longer available but you used to that player. So farhave authorization, amethysts have been found in bags near the teleportation circlesso I guess you still do, both the broken one on the north shore and the functional one on the south shoretechnically...
Next::::There as a school for ... gifted people, Elmetaph will direct a while back. Run by the player [[The_Council|Council]]. They were looking for the best and brightest to cast "bind circle" on the teleportation circlebecome master warriors, battle-mages, thaumaturges, which is the one on the southern beach of the islandand ultra heroic blah blah blah.
After casting bind circle, the player will return ::::This island was part of their final exam. Students had to Elmetaphshow competence in a bunch of different skills here. Only a few graduated, who is shocked that the playerand some were killed here. It's soul is now bound to the island. He offers the player the chance to change their bind location, but only if they give him the coordinates found on the four obelisksa dangerous place.
After giving Elmetaph the correct coordinates::::I wonder if you passed your final exam? Heh, the player can I guess it doesn't matter now use "recall circle" to exit the island.</spoiler>:::::'''So that school is gone now?''':::::Yep. Been gone for years. They shut everything down in a hurry one day. I don't know why.
== Coordinates: ==::::When the school closed I moved here because... well, that's my own damn business.::::::'''I have another question.'''::::::Sure, (garbled version of players name), what else is on your mind?:::::::'''Students used to come here?'''<spoiler>6918 :::::::Well, it's a state secret... (see above):::::::'''Is there a way off this island?''':::::::Well, you could swim, hehe... no, don't look hopeful, that was a joke! The sea's full of sharks and horrible beasts. An elven friend comes to visit me every year or so. You could get a ride back with her. Shouldn't be more than six or eight months wait.::::::::'''That's too long. Is there any other way?'''::::::::If you still had your magic training, you could [[Teleportation|teleport]], I suppose...:::::::::'''Can you teach me how to teleport?''':::::::::You were a fast learner before, so I guess I could try to teach you again. But it took you also have weeks to touch master it, and that's after you'd been studying the basics of magic for quite a while. Hopefully some remnant of that training is still in your head somewhere. We can give it a shot and see...::::::::::'''Great! How do we begin?'''::::::::::Well, first you'll need an [[amethyst]] as a catalyst. And I'm fresh out of gems.:::::::::::'''Shit.''':::::::::::Don't you curse at me, young (man/woman)! There's still a chance. Lots of students had their [[teleportation]] trials on this island, and they all 4 obelisksbrought spare [[amethyst]]s, so there's bound to be some hidden around somewhere.::::::::::::'''So I should find an amethyst and come back?''' (Begins the quest [[Find an Amethyst]].)</spoiler>::::::::::::Yup. Come back with an [[amethyst]] and I'll teach you the basics of [[teleportation]]. Try searching around the old teleportation platforms for misplaced gem bags. If that doesn't work, well, there could be [[amethyst]]s anywhere on the island, really.:::::::'''Can I read your books?''':::::::Well of course, just don't run off with them. They're very old and valuable... well, they're not very valuable anymore. I retrieved them from the basement of the university when I left. They weren't in good shape when I found them, and this sea air isn't doing them any favors. But still, they're more valuable than most of the junk on the island.}}

'''Elmetaph''' is an [[Elven|Elf]] living in the Lighthouse on [[Anagoge Island]]. When he was known as '''Proctor Elmetaph,''' he operated an academy designed to test the magical capabilities of potential recruits for the Council. It seems possible the goal of school was to gather and identify Prodigies. While the school itself has been destroyed, both Elmetaph and some of his tests remain.
; [[Anagoge Island]]
: Lighthouse in the Northwest.
