Ylphash College

The Ylphash are a college of gnomes specializing in computing. They create machines of clockwork and tubing, powered by water, crank, or marbles, for the amusement of the Emperor and Administrators.

The Ylphash are recognizable by their teal robes with their symbol on the back - a triangle with a line coming out of each corner, two pointing down and one up. They are very dedicated to their work, and for this reason they rarely leave their lodge in the Emperor's Winter Palace.

The lodge is designed to be as comfortable and entertaining as possible, to motivate Ylphash to work faster and harder. There are sports courts, a horse, dog, and camel racing track, a pool, hot springs, rolling green hills for picnics, gardens, outdoor fire pits, a library covered in hunting trophies, and a large eating and cooking area to feed the Ylphash with only the best.

The Ylphash report to the High Vizier of the Empire, and must present their work. Administrators enjoy using the counting machines to calculate taxes and such.
