The Wynarn Institute of Art (affectionally referred to as WIA by enthusiasts or snobs) focused on the artistic potential of illusion and conjuration magic.
The Wynarn Institute was both one of the foremost academies of magic in Khorvaire and one of its most amazing museums, exploring the artistic potential of the arcane. Treasures of the pre-Galifar kingdoms were displayed here along with modern works of art. In addition to purely artistic exhibits, the Hall of Kings allowed visitors to converse with illusory replicas of the past rulers of Galifar. Though some cultures preserve their rulers so they can advise successors—such as the Aereni elves and the medusas of Cazhaak Draal—the illusions of the Hall of Kings were merely a tourist attraction.
