College of Agriculture
Posted by Apostate on 10/14/19
After years of planning by House Laurent and talking about it, the last of the work on the College of Agriculture is complete. The Laurents invest tremendous resources into the new school, and this isn't counting what it costs them to field a small army in the barracks. The buildings are all done which includes housing for students, workers and the barracks for the armed forces. There's a solid wall built up for protection. There are many, many animals, imported from across the Oathlands as well as other parts of the Compact. There is an impressive shrine put together that represents Mangata, Petrichor and Lagoma. They take in commoner students as well as nobles, all with the hope that further educating their population will help the whole. The college is expected to feed itself, with surplus goods going to less well off locations in the duchy or stored away for a rainy day. Duke Cristoph names it officially the 'Duke Edmund Laurent's College of Agriculture' after his late father. But most people will simply call it the Ag College at Artshall over time. But for now, it sounds fancy.
