Verpash College

Verpash College is a gnomic college specializing in botany. Their job is to breed plants that are useful to the Dwarven Domain.

Verpash are recognizable by the light green monk's habits that they wear, which are cut to hang about halfway down the thigh, accompanied by burlap pants and leather boots and knee pads. They always have a brown leather belt on the waist, with pockets for spades, a ruler, a vial for samples, and a small notebook for recording everything.

Verpash College is based at the Emperor's Summer Palace, with a large area filled with greenhouses. The plants are watered by an automatic system, powered by pumps, with the heads turned to allow for more or less watering. Verpash College also has an extensive library, which contains not only books and scrolls but also seeds, leaves, and segments of roots and stems. Dried fruits are also kept when it applies.

Verpash College's Dean reports directly to the Emperor's Minister of Agriculture, and are paid for directly by the Ministry. The Vizier for Breeding is in charge of cataloging new species made.
