House of Keys/Chantry

Location

         The Key House is located on a corner of the campus that seems to have been forgotten. This is a square building constructed in the Moorish revival style complete with a small court yard, double stairways that lead up to the massive iron-clad doors with three windows set above. The waist-high, stone wall that surrounds the courtyard completely encloses the grounds but rather than following the perfectly square proportions of the building, the perimeter wall is a perfect circle. Viewed from some adjacent rooftops, the building appears to be two stories tall with a central, domed, wrought-iron skylight that encloses a garden-like courtyard common to Edwardian architecture. There doesn't appear to be a parking lot behind the structure nor does there appear to be any entrance other than that of the front doors.

Familiar Faces

• Professor Twig:
  
  Professor Horace W. Smallwood was known as 'Twig' by many due to his small physical appearance. Though small in stature, Professor Smallwood is a giant of intellect, possessing three different doctorate degrees in Archaeology, Ancient Languages and History. As a Master within the Order and a scholar of the Bonisagus House, his achievements within the study of primal magic are quite impressive - just ask him. Twig serves as as an adviser to the Chapter House though is academic duties typically keep him far too busy to deal with the day-to-day operations; that's what good apprentices are for.
