The Collegium, officially the Imperial and Royal College of Scholars, is a learned society set up in the former royal capital city of Graveburgh. Established by King Ethelred IV, the Collegium remained in Graveburgh even after Ethelred’s great-great-great grandson succeeded to the Imperial throne through his maternal line, becoming Emperor Joseph I in addition to King Joseph III.

While the Emperor-King now sits in his senior realm’s capital at Aldwych, the Colledium remains the preeminent scholarly society in the realm, outshining the Imperial and Royal Aldwych Society at every turn. Collegisters, members of the Collegium, are nominated by peer and hold their titles for life unless revoked, or for the life of their nominator and their descendents unto seven generations for immortal Collegisters. While membership is overwhelmingly human, the Collegium does differ from the Society in that nonhumans and women are allowed to participate and hold the rank of Collegister.
