In The Chronicle[]
Due to the strain and subject matter of material studied at The University several students have succumbed to mental ailments or illnesses. Approximately 350 people are currently patients of the establishment and it is said that one or two members of the arcanum are admitted every year due to stress. The most famous among these is Master Elodin, who was admitted during his tenure as Chancellor. In the Chronicle he personally narrates the story of his apprehension and subsequent escape to match that of the folkloric tale of Taborlin the Great.
In The Slow Regard of Silent Things, the main character, Auri, seems to fear the building, specifically never turning her back to it.
