Lepidstadt University, the Brazen Skull and Ventriloquist's Pulpit.

Lepidstadt University: Ustalav’s internationally renowned center  of  learning,  Lepidstadt  University  endorses  the  so-called “mortal sciences,” espousing the ability of medicine, mathematics,  and  the  sciences  to  unveil  wonders  rivaling the  miracles  of  magic.  Presided  over  by  dean Acciani Viacarri,  the  campus  includes  the  Laurelgauge  Library, Vighkeir  Hall,  the  Treyes  Museum  of  Antiquities,  half  of the nearby Fort Cindercairn, and various other lecture halls and dormitories, including the prestigious Varlyn Assembly and Lecture Suites in Ventriloquist's Pulpit .
Aside  from  its  faculty’s  advances  in  the understanding of anatomy and medicine, the school is also known for its numerous dueling fraternities, brotherhoods like  Gateguard  and  Malkenclaw  that  pride  themselves on  teaching  the  artistry  and  honor  of  swordsmanship. Before  graduation, fraternity  members  meet,  unarmored, upon  Fifthstones  Hill  (the  city’s  southern  rise), and duel their fellows one  at  a  time  until  cut  upon  the  face.  Such “Lepidstadt scars” are held as marks of pride and prowess recognized by duelists throughout the world.
Brazen  Skull:  A  favorite  pub  of  members  of  the university’s  dueling  fraternities,  the  Brazen  Skull  holds the  rapiers  of  famed  alumni  in  places  of  honor  upon  the taproom walls, arranged in ranks like deadly tally marks. Above  the  hearth’s  forest  of  trophies  hangs  the  blade  of owner  Kaysia  Cazynsik  and  a  bronzed  stone  giant  skull said to shed a single tear every time a member of one of the university’s dueling brotherhoods dies. DM's Note: Andrezi Galdana has been banned for life from the Brazen Skull for Dueling three different students from three different fraternities to the death while on it's grounds.

Varlyn Assembly and Lecture Suites

Ventriloquist’s Pulpit: Situated near the city’s heart, the Ventriloquist’s  Pulpit  once  served  as  the  central  hall  and north  wing  of  Mandaleat  Court,  seat  of  administration for  Vieland’s  former  counts.  During  the  hall’s  demolition, workers discovered strange acoustic properties beneath the dome that caused their voices to echo back in unpredictably angelic or demonic tones. Charmed, the ruling council had the  remaining  structure  preserved  as  a  museum  of  local history and offices for councilors.Yet some claim it wasn’t the haunting echoes that preserved the old court, but rather the discovery of secret basement reeking of brimstone and adorned with trappings of Osirion mysticism.
