===NPCs===
Many people assume that only former adventurers get to be Headmaster or Headmistress of Maplehurst. The truth is, adventurers make lousy administrators. In the history of the school, there have been more non-adventurers than adventurers in the Headmaster’s office. The current Headmaster, '''Wilgrot Roww''', has never set foot in a dungeon; he’s been an educator his entire adult life. He is a capable administrator and popular with students and teachers, although he’s coming to realize that administration isn’t his calling. He secretly longs to return to the classroom.

He is a widower, and lives in the gatehouse (see below) with his two daughters. Since their mother wasn’t an adventurer either, the daughters are not eligible to attend the school; they have a private tutor. However, they often attend the school’s social and athletic events.

'''Myrtle Bounderly''', a very busy human woman, is in charge of all arcane magical instruction at the school, and acts as advisor for students wishing to become wizards and alchemists. Professor Bounderly is a round, gray-haired bundle of energy who always seems to be doing ten things at once. She only ever seems to get anything done at the last possible moment.

'''Jamiston Decket''', a halfling man, is the faculty advisor for students wishing to become summoners and witches. He is a decidedly odd fellow, given to muttering to himself as he paces the corridors, or randomly wearing some new charm or totem because it “feels right today.” He almost never asks or answers a direct question and his lectures tend toward the cryptic. Despite all this, his students graduate with a full and confident knowledge of their subject matter, so somehow his strange instruction seems to be working.

'''Gavin Silver''', a half-elf man, teaches writing, composition, art, and music. He is the faculty advisor for students wishing to become bards and sorcerers.

'''Ganz''' is a minotaur, whipcord-lean, one-horned, and scarred by countless battles. He teaches all manner of physical prowess: climbing and balancing, archery, stealth, weapons combat, hand-to-hand, and so on. His stern demeanor and fearsome appearance terrifies younger students (and not a few older ones as well). His bark is worse than his bite, but that is scant comfort because his bark is pretty fearsome. He is the faculty advisor for students wishing to become fighters and monks.

'''Brother Vessix''', a surface-drow priest of Alemi, runs the school chapel and infirmary. He teaches religion and the healing arts, and is the faculty advisor for students wishing to become clerics and oracles.

Also at the chapel is '''Darra Brightseeker''', elven paladin and champion of Domi. She is a formidable lady, working ostensibly under the supervision of Brother Vessix. In reality, the two are more of a team. Dame Brightseeker is intense, and can come off as intimidating, but she has a kindly streak and a true soft spot for children. She is the faculty advisor for students wishing to become cavaliers, paladins, and inquisitors.

Aside from the faculty advisors, instructors at the school include:

'''Lianneth Farvin''' (female elf)--Woldian history and geography

'''Cuarthin Lobrian''' (male elf)--Elvish language and literature

'''Krik Krakjaw''' (male goblin)--engineering and mechanics (i.e., disable device)

'''Winter Night''' (female centaur)--nature and astronomy

'''Lord Bydrian Henderly''' (male human)--etiquette, diplomacy, and royalty. Lord Bydrian is the only professor who commutes; his estate is nearby.

'''Jervis Goodnight''' (male drow)--dungeoneering and perception. A former adventurer, Professor Goodnight is known for his "field trips" to various dungeons.

Other school staff includes:

'''Gurdebringkt''' (male gnome)--head gardener

'''Poppy''' (female human)--one of the maids in the main building

==Background==

Maplehurst Academy is a boarding school for the children of adventurers. It is located on the Second Plateau, on the road between Gnowsy Overdale and Middleden. 

It began as an estate--a manor house with stables and other outbuildings--but new buildings have been added over the years. There’s a mishmash of architectural styles, reflecting not only different time periods, but different Woldian races as well. 

There is a Lower School and an Upper School. The Lower School is for the younger kids, say 8-12. Their instruction is elementary-school-style, with one instructor teaching all subjects for the class for that year. The Upper School has different instructors for different subjects. Lower School and Upper School kids share dormitory, dining, and recreation facilities.

The original estate had: a manor house, a dower house, a carriage house, stables, a gatehouse, a chapel, an outdoor kitchen, and miscellaneous outbuildings and sheds. The (indoor) kitchen of the original manor house--already pretty large--has been expanded to cope with the challenges of feeding an entire school. The original formal dining room has also been expanded to serve as the school’s dining hall. There is a smaller dining room for faculty. The rest of the original manor house is classrooms and offices.

The original dower house has been converted to faculty housing. The gatehouse is now a residence for the Headmaster (or Headmistress) and family. The carriage house and stables are still there, and still serve their original purpose. The chapel also serves its original purpose, but it has been expanded to the point where the original structure is difficult to pick out. The outdoor kitchen was torn down.

New construction (since the school’s founding) includes two dormitories, one for girls and one for boys. Each year, a junior member of the faculty (of the appropriate sex) is assigned to live in one of the dorms and keep an eye on things.  This is not a popular position.

Also built for the school are the library building and a classroom building, which houses most of the Lower School classes. Both buildings also contain faculty offices.
