Dayal Hall

The Dayal Hall is a learning center located in the Core Spire of Jrusar. It is privately funded by House Dayal of the Mahaan houses and is open to all citizens, especially children, regardless of background and circumstance. The Hall has long been held as a symbol of opportunity in the face of economic disparity in the Oderan Wilds. Ajit Dayal manages the Hall.

Description
The Dayal Hall consists of three squat sandstone tower arches with open windows. The archways, set into the rock of the Core Spire, stand twenty feet tall and are intricately carved and latticed. The interior is filled with tables, seating cushions, and small step-pits that serve as teaching areas. Lighting is provided by magical smoke-free torches, possibly candlerock. It has a relaxed and warm atmosphere described as a haven from the city, and the space is filled with the scent of lavender incense.

History
The Dayal Hall was founded by House Dayal in the Core Spire of Jrusar to offer access to education for all citizens, especially children, regardless of their background and circumstance. In 843 PD, the Hall was managed by Ajit Dayal, who began overseeing it some time after its founding.

In her youth, Divaasheela was a student at the Dayal Hall and knew the Dayal family. But when an elf weretiger by the name of Dorao was unleashed, bit her, and transmitted his curse, Divaasheela was forced to quit her study and leave Jrusar, assuming a new name, Annaline.

Tairan studied in the Dayal Hall before moving to Yios around 828 PD and becoming a professor at the Aydinlan Seminary.

By 843 PD, Ariks Eshteross, who held the Dayal Hall in high esteem, had been managing the delivery and storage of supplies and goods to the Hall for years. Some of these supplies were stolen, and Eshteross hired the soon-to-be-named Bells Hells to investigate these thefts.

Behind the scenes
Ajit Dayal and Dayal Hall are both in homage to Ajit George and Shanti Bhavan.
