Shirekeep Benacian Institute
The Shirekeep Benacian Institute (SBI) was established in the eighth month of 1716 AN, in the historic district of Cabbagefall in the city of Shirekeep. The Institute was founded with the purpose of generating leadership cadres for the Imperial Humanist Party of Shireroth, and operates under the direction of the Central Secretariat of the party. The district of Cabbagefall, situated across the River Elwynn from the Inner City, was chosen as the location for the Institute due to its proximity to the heart of the Imperial Republic, allowing for easy access and integration into Shirerithian society.
The Commandant of the Institute is Babkhan, recruited from neighbouring Alalehzamin in the Benacian Union. Commandant Al-Hussein brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the Institute, having previously served as a senior instructor in the Vanguard Division of Elluenuueq during the Second Elwynnese Civil War, and as a Quartermaster of Cudgels in the Corps of the Gentlemen-at-Cudgels after the war. Under his leadership, the SBI seeks to become one of the premier institutions for Humanist education and conditioning in the Imperial Republic.
The SBI is heavily guarded and fortified, with high walls surrounding the main building and campus. The curriculum is similar to other Humanist Institutes, with a heavy emphasis on discipline, physical training, and indoctrination in the principles of Humanism. The student body is strictly screened and selected, with a focus on producing loyal and capable leaders for the Imperial Humanist Party.
In addition to the traditional academic subjects, students at the SBI are also trained in combat and military tactics, as well as political strategy and leadership. The school also has a strong emphasis on propaganda and media manipulation, with students learning how to effectively disseminate Humanist ideology and influence public opinion.
The SBI is seen as a prestigious institution, and the first crop of graduates are eagerly anticipated by the Imperial Humanist Party. Many students will be expected to go on to hold high-ranking positions within the party, while others shall doubtless seek to join the Imperial Forces or the Imperial Marshals.
The school is also equipped with a state-of-the-art Ainaive facility, where students are subjected to intensive psychological conditioning to ensure their complete loyalty and devotion to the Humanist cause. The school's motto is "Sicut Lupus in gregem" (Like a Wolf in the Flock) reflecting their ultimate goal of establishing the Human Supremacy in Shireroth.
