The College of Magic
History and Location
First time Mandrake mentioned[1] the origin of "The College of Magic"[footnotes 1] he said it was build in the times of Genghis Khan (1162-1227). The wizards in old times carried on secrets of ancient Egypt, magic of ancient China and others. And when the hordes of Genghis Khan swept the eastern world most of the wizards and their lore were destroyed. Only a few escaped and they build the "College of Magic" in a remote vally in the Himalayas. The main building was build as a larger copy of the tiny modell inside the mysterious Crystal Ball[footnotes 2].
In modern time Theron and his people prepared a vast cavern in the vally. Inside they build a small city, a wonderlan of fountains and gardens, also moved/rebuild the main building. When enemy invaders[footnotes 3] found the hidden vally the people of "The College of Magic" moved into their new city into the cavern.
The entrance to the cavern is hidden by a greate boulder, then a long tunnel lead to the underground city. The city has a underground river and is largely self-sufficient, all powered by a mental reactor.
When "The College of Magic" was presented later[2] it is said that it had existed for about 4000 years, before it moved into the cavern. And that the hundred-ton boulder that hides the secret entrance moves when a secret word is spoken.
