World Literomantic Academy Warren Campus
The World Literomantic Academy is the continuing legacy of the first modern school of Literomancy. The brainchild of WriterGreg, the WLA changed its name upon his death and continued under Headmaster Prince Consort Erin Righ.
The Warren was the first WLA satellite campus. As one might guess, it is located right at The Warren. The Lapin Crown excavated and constructed the campus and donated it to the school, on the condition that they could make use of the school's many "Work Rooms" (spaces specifically dedicated to different kinds of magic) when needed. The ribbon-cutting ceremony took place on the first day of the April 2022 Tourney of Tales.
As a result of this convenient location, and the Lapin Royal Consort's direct involvement, instructors tend to be famous Literomancers with combat experience, including many of the Woodlander Royal Family themselves. Indeed, it is one of their primary activities during peacetime.
Registration at the Warren Campus is, therefore, highly sought after, but admittance is strictly limited to those who have shown significant literomantic potential, and is primarily sponsored by scholarships. Most students, including its youngest, board at the school, but students who live in Okanagan City are also welcome.
It is not uncommon for Warren instructors to offer workshops in Jurissica or Penwall; nor for their instructors to offer training at the Warren.

Early Childhood Education
I like teaching the little ones best. I want to instill a love of reading and writing that will stay with them their whole lives.
Erin Righ by Hero Forge
Erin Righ's classroom contains a button behind a glass frame that reads, "In case of Nite Qing, break glass." This was installed when the Prince Consort was still possessed by the spirit of The Nite Qing. Should anyone hit the button, a blast door slams shut on the classroom, and a series of wards are activated, trapping Erin, and the Nite Qing, in the room. Fortunately, it seems this safety measure is no longer required.
Magical Combat & Filking Studies
My job is to make sure you stay alive. So I'm not going to mince words when you're filking up. But since you are likely to be commanding troops in the future, I'll tell you that morale is really important. Machiavelli was wrong. An army will do far more for you if they love you than if they fear you. If I'm doing my job right, you'll do both.

Practical Magic
Literomancy becomes an integral part of everyday life and every part of who you are. It's important that you learn to treat it like second nature. If you can do that, you can really make a difference in the world.

Technomancy and Tutoring
Proper preparation and a solid plan are key to your success as a student.

I'm here because you need my instruction today. Haven't you ever heard that those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it?

Alchemy and Ink Magic
Alchemy is an exacting art, requiring significant attention to detail.
Nonsense! Alchemy is fun!

WHY was there an explosion in the alchemy lab AGAIN?!

Filking Studies
The Warren Campus is considered the world's premiere institution for Filking Studies. This is likely because many respected filkers have served as instructors here, including Prinx Tempest Kwake, King Consort Realm of Music, Queen Sable, and of course, the Headmaster. Course curriculum not only includes lyrical composition, rhyming, and punning, but performance arts magic as well.Infrastructure
The campus "building" is a large underground space with quartz stone walls. There are nine Work Rooms, including a "combat arena" for magical combat training, often cheekily called "the Danger Room," after the famous training room from the X-Men comics. There are also four classrooms, dormitories that house students from primary grades to mature university students, and an auditorium. Most of the Work Rooms also contain literomantic libraries, and students may be granted access to the libraries of the Warren itself with a special pass. It also features a cafeteria and student lounge, and provides direct access to the main body of the Warren complex, the Lapin Royal Hospital, and the Lapin Royal Military Academy through direct underground passages. Students often cross-train with the students at the Military Academy. The school entrance is conveniently located right next to Lapin's HYLEX line, a high-speed overground train affectionately known as "the Cottontail." Sekrits!A trap door in the ceiling of Erin Righ's classroom connects to a hidden door near the Lapin Royal Kitchen through a secret passage ("Bolthole".) The passage is monitored, and equipped with lethal defenses.
Senna Nightshade, Lord Galakrond and Mykola Lapin-Void make use of Work Room 5 for a healing ritual for Queen Sable.
