Government
Democratically elected members of a Geniocracy Tribunal. A geniocracy is a form of government in which candidates for office and the electorate meet a certain minimal criterion of intelligence ; it advocates problem-solving, creative intelligence and compassion as criteria for governance. A tribunal, generally, is any person or institution with authority to judge, adjudicate on, or determine claims or disputes.

History
During the tunneling through the Wyvern Mountains, the crew accidentally breached a wall into an unusually high Duergar City. After routing the Duergar, the tunnel’s progress continued until its completion. Meanwhile, the recent ruins attracted scholars, mages, and artificers curious to learn about the subterranean race. The combination of a new highway, surge of population, and enormous vacancy quickly led to an impromptu city. The gathering of scholars on top of Duergar mines and an endless source of commerce created the perfect location for arcane study. The city quickly flourished with a variety of schools and colleges dedicated to the study of magic, science, and other arcane arts. Becoming a student is difficult as applicants are of the highest caliber and competition is fierce. Among students, using magic on fellow students is encouraged; it forces students to prepare and adapt ahead of time. Constant failure to prepare can be grounds for expulsion; an excellent way to remove a rival or open a vacancy. While most of the studies are dedicated to the academic, some magic items are produced. Although, if you are looking something really powerful, you should head to Krak’s Thumb.
