University of Phiraz

Post by IanFordam »

So, um. I find myself in an embarrassing position. I only recently discovered that the University of Phiraz does not appear to be canon. It doesn't even appear to be from NeoTiamat's "The Domain of the Endless Word" in QtR21. All I know is that I didn't actually create it for my Pharazia survey. The best guess I've got is that I ran across it in reading the Eye of Anubis play-by-post game.

Anybody have thoughts where else I might have stolen the University of Phiraz from? Some other QtR, USS, or Book of S articles?

Are you 100% sure you did not invent it?

Your best guess is, as it usually is, correct! I looked through the archives on Cafe de Nuit and in the play-by-post of the Eye of Anubis, the "University of Phiraz" is mentioned multiple times! Especially in Book Four. Here are links to show my work/provide citations (good ol' Control + F will help too):
