Gnomeregan Institute of Tinkering

The Gnomeregan Institute of Tinkering is a gnomish institute, presumably located inside Gnomeregan. Given the name, along with the general nature of gnomes, it is likely dedicated to science and engineering. Narain Soothfancy and Doctor Weavil were two of the students. According to Weavil's diary (which so far holds the only mention of the institute), Narain destroyed the curve on all of Weavil's exams, which caused Weavil to fail out of school. For that, Weavil became his archenemy.
