Description
Domdaniel was an academy of the occult first mentioned in The Continuation of the Arabian Nights (1788-1793) by Dom Chaves and Cazotte. It was located inside a vast cavern below the sea near Tunis in North Africa. It was described as being founded by Zatanai (Satan) and was where sorcerers such as the evil Maugraby were taught their dark craft. The same book mentions that the school was burnt down sometime in the past by Zanate Kalife. Other writers, including H.P. Lovecraft, T.H. White, and Neil Gaiman, have used or mentioned this school in their fiction.

I liked the idea of this place, so I decided that in my fictional world it was rebuilt and refounded in the 18th century by Ramesh the Mysterious as a neutrally aligned school of magick. It fulfills a similar function to Hogwarts in the Harry Potter franchise or the Unseen University in the Discworld novels.
