The University of Il Aluk in Exile unites the living remnants of the University of Il Aluk. There were professors who had the good fortune of being outside of Il Aluk when the Requiem struck. They came together in the weeks following the disaster and decided that their institution would not die. Karg would become its seat. Professor Abelhous Nicholsi, up until his death in 751 BC, was a chief mover in this effort. Naturally enough, defections to other institutions and the chaos into which Darkon fell gravely threatened the project.

Had there not been an additional goal, the effort might have been abandonned within the first several years. The project was not one of simply saving the venerable institution. The project aimed at nothing less than the retaking of Il Aluk for the living. How this might be achieved none could yet say. The answer would no doubt be long and slow in coming, emerging from a generation or more of research. Not a word of this would be stated openly. In closed committee however, decisions would be taken and policies set always in relation to this overarching goal.

Still, failure was assured without funding. Benefactors fronting the Church of Ezra and the Syndicate of Enlightened Citizens were particularly generous. There was a genuine, fear-driven curiosity to understand recent events in Darkon, and the school made itself the destination for anyone wanting a thoroughly researched treatment of the matter. It was the return of Azalin Rex, however, that secured the future of the institution. Necropolis was an embarassment to him, one that he wished wiped off the map. Although he doubted that the school itself would find any useful answers, it was asking the right questions and attracting people who might be talented enough that they would be worth plucking up and being set to work on the matter under his personal direction.

Although there is no official department of necrology or planar mechanics, both being treated within arcane studies, worthy projects in either are readily funded. Of particular attention are matters touching upon the energy planes.
