Many have tried to understand the ways of Alvadas and most have failed. But even those who failed like to think that they succeeded. So, like-minded scholars gather in clusters and mull over their discoveries. They babble on about Ionu and Illusionism and secrets of Alvadas which they have no business even speculating about. But while they might think their endeavors to be productive, most people would not agree. In fact, the people of Alvadas have gotten tired of seeing the scholars gathering in local taverns and parks. They wanted the academics to hide away in a corner where they wouldn’t bother anyone with their mindless chatter. And so, the academies did just that.

The Scholarly Abode of Intellectual Pursuits was established by a group of scholars who needed a safe place to drink ale and swap stories. But it had grown both in size and reputation since then. Now, the Scholarly Adobe is a large, imposing building with a small door and massive windows. Inside, aspiring academics as well as experts on the City If Illusion sit around a comfortable living room and discuss matters of grave importance. The walls of the house are plastered with sketches and blueprints of Alvadas’ many appearances. Bookshelves line the walls and even block some doorways and windows. A small kitchen area with a well-stocked bar is hidden away behind a particularly large bookcase. In essence, the Scholarly Abode is a clubhouse, though a very formidable on at that.

Admittance into the house is restricted to those who can prove their interest in Ionu as well as their dedication to learning more about Alvadas. There is always someone waiting inside to answer the door and judge whether the visitor should be admitted. That someone is usually Master Doddel Asperenus.

Doddel Asperenus is a seasoned scholar of Ionu. He has spent the majority of his life trying to learn the mysteries of Alvaadas and the illusions that reside at its heart. A serious man both in his professional and personal lives, Doddel finds little humor in life. He is of average height and stocky build. His white hair is quickly receding further away from his forehead, even as his mustache grows in size. Master Asperenus is a hard man to talk to, as he does not tolerate any lack of knowledge in his companions.

History: Doddel Asperenus was born and raised in Alvadas and had taken an interest in the city’s infrastructure from an early age. As a child, he spent a great deal of time running around the city and trying to document the buildings’ movements. As a young man, his approach became more refined. He studied in the University of Zeltiva for four years, but returned to his home city to further pursue his scholarly career. His frequently visited the Temple Of Ionu and struck up a friendship with the temple’s head priest, Cadmus. He spoke with architects and magicians, mathematicians and illusionists. Every question he asked brought him a little closer to gaining an inkling of understanding of the Alvadas. After his mentor and fellow Alvadas scholar, Brett Berellius established the Scholarly Abode of Intellectual Pursuits, Doddle took to spending entire days in the house’s vast library. Once Berellius passed away, control of the Abode fell into Doddle’s eager hands.
