The risk he took was calculated, but it has not paid off. Instead he is bound in a grotesque form that is constant agony for him, stuck as a passenger in his own mutated body as something else steers it. Now he watches helplessly as he realises the folly of his own ways, and the undoing of his life\u2019s work.<\/p>\n<p>With his macabre research uncovered, Frederik fled deeper into the vaults beneath Noxas Block into his own personal sanctuaries. There, feeling himself cornered and the clock ticking, he ingested raw flesh infected with the ascendant Dragonblight strain he had created. It was his hope that if it could ascend a simple rat to a creature like the Konnigsratte, it might ascend him to some sort of higher being to rival Hendrak and finalize his plan. His calculated risk, however, has not paid off. Instead he is left as little more than a monstrosity, constant agony tearing across his body. Whilst he has been able to enact his plan with the help of this strain, his body is no longer his own.<\/p>\n<p>He is now a passenger in his own body, watching in horror as the grotesque beast he has become threatens to unravel the fabric of the school he holds dear, and plunge the land into plague-stricken chaos once again. There is naught more he can do now, than accept whatever fate befalls him after this, and pray for atonement in his final hours, however they might be spent.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"tmq-reveal-head\"><span class=\"kicker\">The set<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The University of Canos is one of the oldest and most prestigious arcane institutions on the continent of Tharador. It is a vessel for transforming raw, unrefined magic-users into elite mages, either of the court or lab, whilst some paths also exist for those who intend to use magic in creative pursuits. It is currently rebuilding itself, two years after Dragonblight tore it down. Whilst campus life continues in a strange, quiet peace, something sinister stirs within. Students continue to go missing, and the staff are turning to desperate measures to find out why.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"tmq-reveal\"><a class=\"tmq-reveal-card\" href=\"https:\/\/miniquasar.com\/campaigns\/the-arcane-university\/\"><span class=\"tmq-reveal-frame\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"tmq-reveal-a\" loading=\"eager\" width=\"420\" height=\"420\" src=\"https:\/\/miniquasar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/au-release-tmq.png\" alt=\"The Arcane University set\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"tmq-reveal-b\" loading=\"eager\" width=\"420\" height=\"420\" src=\"https:\/\/miniquasar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/au-set-minis.jpg\" alt=\"The Arcane University miniatures\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure>\n<div class=\"tmq-reveal-head\"><span class=\"kicker\">The campaign<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In The Arcane University the party must enter the University of Canos undercover as students, investigating a series of mysterious disappearances with six students currently missing in the school.

All miniatures sold are unpainted, unless otherwise specified. If you would like us to add free matte black primer to the prints, you can let us know, and they&#8217;ll be ready to paint right out of the box!<\/p>\n<h3>Shipping<\/h3>\n<p>Our models are shipped assembled if they are not too delicate, but are usually separated from the base. Wings and some other parts may also be detached and need to be put together, especially for larger models. To put the pieces together, you could use epoxy putty, super glue, or any strong glue that works for plastics. This is to ensure that none of the delicate pieces break or get damaged during shipping. If you really need pieces glued together, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate.<\/p>\n<h3>Free Miniature<\/h3>\n<p>Get a free miniature with your order. No requirements, every order gets one. It will be a random character from our store. If you order multiple minis, you may even get more than one for free! Enjoy.<\/p>\n<h3>Model Scale<\/h3>\n<p>Normal-sized miniatures come in two sizes: 32mm and 75mm, which is the height of the humanoid body, so with the base and other accessories like hats, they will end up being a little taller. 32mm is the standard size if you are playing D&amp;D on a physical battle map.<\/p>\n<p>Larger miniatures are measured by the diameter of their base. Large-sized miniatures usually have a 50mm base, huge-sized ones have a 75mm base, gargantuan ones have a 100-120mm base. For specific measurements on any model, please contact us and we&#8217;ll be happy to give you the exact numbers.<\/p>\n<h3>Creation of Miniatures<\/h3>\n<p>These models are made by the fantastic people at DM Stash, and they make incredible models, so please check them out. We are officially licensed to print and sell their models to you, so you can enjoy them too! We print them with an Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra resin printer with 16K resolution (the highest quality available). They are printed using Elegoo Standard 3.0 Vanilla coloured resin, an expensive resin that ensures models are strong without compromising on the detail. The supports are cut off, the model is sanded if needed, and inspected to ensure perfection. The model is washed off with pure alcohol, then cured inside an Elegoo ultcuring enclosure, and prepared for printing.<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\njQuery(function ($) {\n  var $sum = $(\"div.product .summary\");\n  function tmqMoney(prices) {\n    var raw, minor, n, prefix;\n    if (!prices) {\n      return \"\";\n    }\n    raw = prices.price;\n    minor = prices.currency_minor_unit;\n    if (typeof minor === \"undefined\") {\n      minor = 2;\n    }\n    n = Number(raw);\n    if (isNaN(n)) {\n      return \"\";\n    }\n    prefix = prices.currency_prefix;\n    if (!prefix) {\n      prefix = \"$\";\n    }\n    return prefix + (n \/ Math.pow(10, minor)).toFixed(2);\n  }\n  function tmqVarName(v) {\n    var i, a, attrs, text, idx;\n    attrs = v.attributes;\n    if (attrs) {\n      if (attrs.length) {\n        for (i = 0;
