For those who pass by
The Lyceum of the Domovoi is situated in the more spread out area in New Jersey outside of Atlantic City. The rolling hills, small pond and grazing areas were originally intended for a large farm. However, in 1872 a reclusive man named Cavendaugh built an expansive estate folded and hidden in the middle of the expansive land, burring the mansion out of the public eye. There are two structures included, the main house and a chapel.
In 2002 the Cavendaugh, starting to wain in his old age turned to one of his students and started to train her in the daily activities. Then a student, Clara was asked to help renovate the homestead for members of the College of Worms in the Freehold of Reflected Light. She eventually took over the administrative duties with the disappearance of her mentor shortly after her induction in 2004. Since then she has welcomed all of those associate with the College who wish to come and learn.
For those who study
As Clara began to plan and organize the spaces inside of the house she decided that many learn in different ways. Because of this she created many different spaces that culminate together to form beautiful libraries for all routes of studies along with several special study rooms.
Common Spaces
|
A spacious gathering room, warm wooden stair cases, intricate woodwork on the grand foyer, a warm and relaxing dining room, well decorated hallways and of course, how would you be able to find a thing in the libraries without a card catalog? A whole room dedicated to organizing and indexing the location of most everything inside of The Lyceum of the Domovoi.

Study Rooms
Exotic studies require exotic study spaces. From the strange to the mundane, the College in Atlantic City seeks to host any member who wishes to study in it's walls and goes a step farther to try to cater to individual fields while also giving more traditional areas of study.
