Berylton University
Berylton University
The History of Berylton University
Berylton wasn't built on ancient ruins, but on a massive "Neutral Plot" of land left over from the rapid urban expansion of Gemlith in the 1960s. At that time, Howlitryn was becoming a bustling creative market, while Obsidryn was turning into a high-stakes financial and industrial center.
In 1965, a group of local philanthropists and visionary educators realized that the youth of Gemlith needed a place that didn't belong to just one district.
They wanted a bridge.
The Architecture: The Contrast Campus
Instead of building everything at once, Berylton grew in stages, which is why the wings look so different:
The 1970s (The West Wing Foundation): The first structure was the heavy stone building in the West, designed to house the School of Law and Business.
It was built to look "Serious" to attract the elite families of Obsidryn.The 1990s (The East Wing Explosion): As Gemlith’s media and art scene exploded, the university built the East Wing—a glass and steel masterpiece with open studios, catching the bright sun of Howlitryn. It was designed to be the pulse of the campus.
The 2010s (The Digital Renovation): The Central Court was modernized into
a "Smart Plaza" with high-speed Wi-Fi, the Fountain of Echoes, and the famous Glass Conservatory, making it the ultimate hangout spot for the new generation.
The Berylton Philosophy: "In Umbra et Lumine"
(In Shadow and Light)
The university’s motto reflects its core belief: Knowledge requires both the spark of imagination (East) and the structure of law (West). To graduate from Berylton is to be someone who can walk through both Howlitryn and Obsidryn with equal ease.
Faculties
The West Wing
It includes lecture halls, archives, reading rooms, faculty offices, and research spaces. The faculties based here are Law, Economics, Political Studies, History, Engineering, and Applied Research.
The East Wing
It houses the faculties of Arts and Media, Design, Humanities, Communications, Architecture, and Performing Arts, where students rehearse, film, design, and collaborate.
Official Colors
Rose Pink: Represents creativity, youthful spirit, and the warmth of connection between students from different districts. It reflects the artistic pulse of the campus and the vibrant ideas that grow within Berylton.
Walnut Brown: Symbolizes stability, tradition, and grounded knowledge.
Like the roots of an old tree, it represents the academic foundation that supports generations of students.
Official Tree: The Two-Tone Oak
A grand oak in the Central Court whose leaves change color at different rates, symbolizing the coexistence of the two wings.
Official Flower: Golden Champaca
Bright yellow-orange petals with a deep, heavenly fragrance that wafts through the campus during blooming season.
Symbolism: The scent represents the lingering memory of campus life.
Even after graduates leave for Obsidryn or Howlitryn, the smell of Champaca always reminds them of their home at Berylton.
Mascot: The Professor Wing
A large, scarlet macaw of unknown origin that has become the university's mascot. Students call him "Professor Wing" or "The Dean".
The Spy Rumor: Students believe he is a spy for the Dean. If he spots a student skipping class and stares at them from a nearby branch, their name might mysteriously appear as Absent on the roll.
The Vocal Warning: He is known to prank students by mimicking the end-of-class bell five minutes early or shouting "Quiet please!" in a stern voice in the West Wing hallways.
The Red Wing Blessing: If students are studying late and he perches silently on the East/West Wing windowsills, it’s considered a blessing that their work will receive a pass grade.
The Great Divide
Though no physical walls exist, crossing from the East to the West Wing feels like entering a different world
The East Wing: Smells of spray paint, echoing with music rehearsals, and desks stained with coffee. This wing is the creative engine where rules are flexible, and buildings stay open nearly 24 hours for students racing to finish their projects.
The West Wing: Characterized by the scent of old books and wood polish, where everyone walks with light footsteps. Attire is noticeably more formal.
Social Spots
Prism Plaza (The Central Court): The only link that blurs faculty identities, acting as the university's Neutral Ground where Law and Art students sit side-by-side for lunch.
Crystal Garden: A sun-drenched sanctuary located at the at the far end of the Berylton campus. It functions as a botanical cafe filled with Champaca flowers, offering a transparent, peaceful atmosphere for students to study.
Garnet Pavilion: An ancient wooden pavilion. It serves as the primary outdoor social hub for student groups and the official meeting point.
Lapis Rooftop: Located atop the Communications building, it offers the best view on campus—overlooking the lights of Obsidryn and the sunsets of Howlitryn.
A secret spot for smokers and stargazing couples.
Clubs
The Borderline Media Club: Photographers and journalists capturing the "Beauty of Gemlith," focusing on the contrast between light and shadow throughout the town.
The Strategy & Board Game Society: A battlefield where Economics students (West) and Design students (East) clash, pitting raw logic against pure creativity.
Berylton Volunteer Corps: The most respected group on campus, volunteering for events at Sunrest Market and local community projects.
The Night-Owl Study Group: A midnight gathering of Law and Engineer students fueled by coffee.
The Resonance Music Collective: A student-led music group where bands, vocalists, and instrumentalists from both wings rehearse and perform. From acoustic nights in Central Court to late jam sessions on the Lapis Rooftop, the club keeps the campus alive after sunset.
The Berylton Athletic Union: Home to the university’s competitive and recreational sports teams. Whether it’s intense basketball matches, evening runs around campus, or friendly rivalry games between East and West students,
the Union keeps Berylton’s spirit moving.The Berylton Archery Club: Known as the university’s signature sport,
the archery team trains with intense focus and quiet discipline. Their annual exhibition during the Lantern Bridge festival is one of the most anticipated spectacles on campus.

Annual Traditions & Events
Lantern Festival
A festival celebrating the unity of Howlitryn and Obsidryn designed by the East, inscribed with jokes by the West. Students craft paper lanterns and release them into the night sky, filling the darkness with a drifting sea of golden light above the campus. The festival transforms Berylton into a glowing spectacle of wishes, laughter, and shared memories.
Debate Battle
A massive event in Central Court where students debate nonsensical topics, such as "Is a sandwich a type of sushi?" to relieve academic stress.
Champaca Bloom
Held when the golden champaca around campus begin to flower. Students gather in the Central Court at daytime as the air fills with the sweet scent of the blossoms. Acoustic music, poetry readings, and conversations turn the campus into an event.
Rooftop Sessions
An informal tradition where musicians, artists, and night-owl students gather at the Lapis Rooftop after finals. Some come to play music, others to watch the lights of Obsidryn and the sunset fading over Howlitryn.
Fountain Splash
When students finish their final exams, many of them gather at the central fountain to celebrate surviving the semester. Instead of jumping in, they splash water at each other, laughing and making playful wishes for good luck in the next term. The courtyard often turns into a chaotic but joyful scene of cheers and relief.
Campus Myths
Campus Myths
Lonely Founder Statue
It’s said if students tell the statue in front of the West Wing "I'm so tired" at 5:00 PM, it will let out a long sigh (though skeptics claim it's just the wind in the cracks)
Sandwich of Silence
Sandwich of Silence: A bench that appears anywhere on campus. When someone eats alone, the campus macaw, “The Dean,” may or may not decide they are the day’s chosen target and steal their sandwich without warning.
Magic Elevator
An old elevator in the East Wing that stops on the wrong floors. Students believe if it stops on Floor 2 when student pressed Floor 4, their "soulmate" is about to
walk in.
Lapis Shadow
Students who stay too late on Lapis Rooftop sometimes report seeing a third shadow stretching across the floor beside them. No one agrees on what causes it—reflections, lights from the city, or something else.
