MElee-Magthere
Melee Magthere is the warrior school for the drow of Menzoberranzan. Notably, Drizzt Do'Urden spent time here in training.
It is one of the three schools that noble children of the drow are expected to attend. Their education usually begns at 20 years old and continues on for another 10 more years. Graduates of the academy do not hold as high a prestige as those who graduate from the wizard or clerics school, but still hold a greater distinction than those who are normal citizenry. One of the events of training there is the Grand Melee, in which Zaknafein Do'Urden was the victor seven years running, three times against older and more advanced students.
It is a relatively plain compound when compared to the other schools of The Drow Academy. It is basically a pyramid shaped structure that consists of the utensils and fighting arenas needed to learn the art of melee combat. The students of Melee Magthere spend their first fifty days listening to Drow history and being indoctrinated about Drow superiority, then about nine years in combat tactics, followed by a year of rounding out their education by spending the first six months at Sorcere and the last six months at Arach-Tinilith.
