'''Fortuna Institute''' is a private research university located in [[Isuriana]], [[Caphiria]]. Established in 1796, it has produced more politicians, business executives, and world leaders than any other university in Caphiria and possibly the world. Ran by the Fortuna Corporation, Fortuna Institute has been one of the most elite places of higher learning due to its longstanding ties with nobility. The school was originally designed to be a place where the children of wealthy patrician families would go to become educated into proper politicians to ensure the preservation and growth of that family. Over time, due to political instability and economic windfalls, the school slowly eased its harsh restrictions and has become a liberal arts haven. | '''Fortuna Institute''' is a [[Education in Caphiria#University|private research university]] located in [[Isuriana|Isuriana Province]], [[Caphiria]].
