Let's declare war and get the notion back were it always belonged, to the monastry!

Al right! (Trying to calm down!) What are the other building in a monastry?

The Refectory

What about the Mosque, why all the christian references? It might offend some muslims.

I guess making "the Mosque" a sub-forum of "the Monastery" wouldn't really help though...

Hey you completely ignore my Chapter House.

It is a monastery but one that involves a lot of political dealings, warlike tendencies and deep thoughts. And who can deny the name itself, CHAPTER doesn't fit?

Eh? Tosa? Then I say Forum 3:16

I like Chapter House, reminiscent of 40k, and has a wonderfully terrible pun in it.

It would be...erm...inaccurate. You would pray at a mosque, as well as study but not tell tales or discuss alternative history. Of course I mean the mosques in the high ages of Muslims; they're deathly places nowadays.

But "Medrese" (or "Madrasah"

) would be fitting.

(The original is مدرسة, let the Arabic experts pull out the best transliteration if necessary.

)

At any rate I would prefer a classical word (with Greek/Latin/Arabic/Hebrew origin) over a modern one.

Could work very well...

I am biased towards Chapter House of course, Senate and this last one Akademia.

I think we should at least attempt to keep the name within an extended sphere of the Monastary. I agree that Senate might not fit very well but it is certainly true that it fits the situations we have when engaged in the stories.
