The Ancestral Glade of the Moonharts in the Serenwilde Forest has
opened, which is the first of our collegiums. You will note a new
command called COLLEGE and note a new honours line (everyone is assumed
graduated from their respective collegiums). The Serenwilde Collegium is
not officially open to novices, but rather those in the Serenwilde
Forest can become familiar with the area, test the collegium quests, and
the chancelleors of the collegium (the Guild Administrators) can work
out what help files to write and appoint professors. Once they are
ready, we will engage the collegium system for Serenwilde. Once the
system is active, only new novices will be in the collegium system,
everyone else is grandfathered under the old system. Note that you can
still get your graduation "honours" even after graduating from the
collegium (i.e., go back and finish the quests). See HELP COLLEGIUM to
see how it works.

As an added bonus, as the collegiums open, the Guild Administrators and
Guildmasters of that Collegium will receive special artifacts of their
office. The Guild Administrator artifact allows him or her to teleport
to or summon novices, as well as hold deeds to clans. The Guildmaster
artifact allows the Guildmaster to give a special honour to a
guildmember once a Lusternian year, which adds an honour line and acts
as a very substantial guild and city/commune favour. Also, the
Guildmaster can perform a rite once a lusternian month that will
increase the experience of every guildmember who participates in the
rite (the more guildmembers who attend, the more experience is given
out).
