Summary

The information shown in this section is taken directly from Legends of Dawn Eruditio website.

Eruditio sits in the mid-west of the Land of Dawn, neighboring the Agelta Drylands and the Moniyan Empire. To its north lies the Northern Vale port, giving it a strategically important position. In history, it was once part of the old Moniyan Empire; some scholars and artificers moved here because of the Empire's over-reliance on magic, and buried themselves into technological research instead. Hence it is known as Eruditio, the city of scholars.

After the old empire collapsed, Eruditio broke away from the imperial jurisdiction to instead become a city that welcomed freedom and tolerance. Openness and progress are two of Eruditio's key values, which stands in stark contrast to the others also residing in the western lands, the Los Pecados.

As time passed, the power of Eruditio's influence within the Land of Dawn continued to grow, attracting avid technology aficionados and inventors of all kinds who gathered there in great numbers.

	Panorama of Eruditio	Eruditio, the grandest metropolis of Agelta today, shines as the illustrious City of Scholars, a beacon of global cultural and economic interchange. Over three millennia ago, this city was established by the founding scholars. Through countless years, Eruditio has steadfastly nurtured the growth of science and education, propelling the Land of Dawn's collective technological prowess to new heights. Its influence extends across the spectrum of culture, commerce, and fashion, casting its sway over the entire continent. Distinguished by its cutting-edge innovations and a reservoir of cultural splendor, Eruditio beckons travelers from every corner of the world.
	Enlightenment Plaza	Located before the Spire of Knowledge, the Enlightenment Plaza stands as Eruditio's paramount assembly spot—a place where pivotal decrees of the council are unveiled. Moreover, it serves as the realm of day-to-day discourse and exchange. Characterized by its unique tiered design, any corner of this plaza can seamlessly transition into a lectern or debate platform at a moment's notice. The 'Enlightenment Plaza' is both a tribute to the Eruditio and a perpetual reminder, urging scholars to remain anchored in their pursuit of knowledge and to uphold an unwavering ethos of humility and avidity to learn.
	Central Warehouse	Half a decade ago, the Central Warehouse in Eruditio underwent a renovation, introducing the largest known lifting and rail freight installation in the Land of Dawn. Powered by Starlium energy and intricate mechanical architecture, this warehouse freight system can naturally hoist masses of several hundred tons to the high spots of its stereoscopic storage vaults. Merging engineering expertise with meticulous logistics design, this remarkable achievement lends an atmosphere of harmony and efficiency to the vibrant commercial activities that permeate Eruditio.
	Canal Dam	Nestled at the city's northern fringes, the Canal Dam stands as one of Eruditio's most monumental architectural achievements, its only counterpart being the Spire of Knowledge in magnificence. This tiered marvel is a testament to the scholars' exceptional design prowess and architectural finesse. Within its structure, three canal lifts are propelled by hydraulic systems and auxiliary Starlium Reactor power, facilitating the smooth transition of vessels between the canal and the inner logistics area of the city, leading to a significant reduction in logistical expenses.
	Business District	If academia forms the soul of Eruditio, then commerce flows as its lifeblood. The Business District acts as the pumping heart, ceaselessly infusing vitality not only into Eruditio itself but also coursing throughout the entirety of the Land of Dawn. From the break of dawn to the descent of dusk, this region is abuzz with a multitude of laden carriages, bustling market keepers, and merchants wearing diverse attire. This vibrant activity attracts visitors from across the continent, all enticed by the prospects of delightful innovations, unmatched services, and the opportunity to broaden their intellectual horizons.

Spire of Knowledge

Image	Image caption	Description
	Spire of Knowledge	To truly understand the essence of Eruditio, one must step inside the magnificent Spire of Knowledge. According to historical records, this iconic architectural masterpiece was the very first structure erected in Eruditio, symbolizing the foundation laid by the pioneering scholars. As time passed, the spire underwent progressive expansions to accommodate research institutes, lecture halls, libraries, and even an observatory, all contained within its towering silhouette. Just like this soaring structure, Eruditio continually advances, marking the passage of time through its constant evolution of technology and knowledge.
	The Great Archives	Since the inception of the Spire of Knowledge, the Great Archives has stood committed to its core mission: the gathering and sharing of knowledge, a beacon of enlightenment for the masses. Enshrined through legislation by Eruditio's council, the preservation of the Great Archives is ensured, making both the library and its archives a shared heritage of the city. Within the resplendent hall of the Great Archives, a myriad of volumes and scholarly materials, amassed and produced over the span of millennia, find their sanctuary. Be it visiting scholars or Eruditio's own researchers, access is granted based on their own individual credentials.
	The Observatory	Within the Spire of Knowledge, the Observatory stands as Eruditio's astronomical research center. Poised at the zenith of the cityscape, its elevation not only shields it from the ambient disturbance of downtown's lights but also grants the vantage to scrutinize the upper atmospheric layers and gauge meteorological patterns alongside celestial observations. Beyond its cutting-edge astronomical telescopes and exclusive observation chambers, the sprawling high-altitude terrace of the Observatory unfolds as a sublime haven for leisure.
	Lecture Hall	Every registered entity and individual with established academic prowess enjoys the privilege of unfettered access to the Lecture Hall within the Spire of Knowledge, which leads to a phenomenon that has playfully earned the moniker "Scholar Free-For-All" due to the fervent competition for its resources. Furthermore, the academy's members convene periodically within the Lecture Hall, orchestrating lectures, and engaging in debates and salon sessions. This endeavor embodies not only pedagogical duties and scholarly discourse but also the very ethos and bedrock principles of Eruditio.
