    The "Words of Lahabrea" appear as the name of a section of Akademia Anyder, specifically, the last section leading up to Quetzacotl. Considering what the Akademia is (a research institute), it is likely that the "Words of Lahabrea" was simply one of the departments of research there, headed by the current Lahabrea, which means it specialised in phantomology, which this story in turn suggests would be the study of arcane entities.

    Ah, that makes sense. I did think I'll need to double-check the Akademia for references next time I get it in the roulette. It's my least-favourite of the dungeons so I won't be running it deliberately.

    From what I remember, the Anyder is divided into departments named after seats on the Convocation. The ones we visit are the Words of Mitron(ichthyology), Halmarult(phytobiology), and Lahabrea(phantomology). The notes in the Words of Lahabrea are the only ones that relate to the Convocation as it was at the time of the Terminus, with the other two talking about the originals and their fields of study.
