Val Royeaux is not only the secular capital,
but also the capital of the Chantry,
the seat of the Divine being situated
at the Grand Cathedral of Val Royeaux. T
here, past the imposing Sun Gates
and more modest Night Gate,
the Chantry performs a ritual
where the entire Chant of Light is sung,
a process thought to take about a fortnight to complete.
From the White Spire,
the Knight-Vigilant of the templars
directs the Order.

Val Royeaux is home to the University of Orlais,
a major center of learning
that attracts young nobles from all over Thedas
with the best education money can buy.
It is a relatively modern institution
whose liberal-minded professors
have already clashed with religious conservatives
over the content of their classes.
