What names can replace "Academy/Tower"?

I need a new name for the faction "Academy/Tower".
It's better, if the new names have something to do with organizations.

FYI, in "Math of War 1", besides "Academy/Tower", the other 7 playable factions are Conservative (= Rampart/Sylvia), Dungeon(= Dungeon + Hell/Inferno), Federation (= Haven), Horde (= Stronghold), Insect (new), Set (= H3's Fortress), Undeath/Necropolis (by the way, which one is better?).


Thanks in advance.

Helpful. The reason why I need a new name for "Academy" is the game shouldn't have a faction called "Academy" while there are Scholars, Universities, Schools of Magic, Libraries of Enlightenment and so on in the wild.
Since Scholars, Universities, Schools of Magic, Libraries of Enlightenment and so on are still there, "University" or "Institute" is not suitable either.

You are technically correct, but I like the sound of "Magistrate" better

The reason: https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/521713877 (the paper is in Chinese)

Well, this so-called problem happens with everything... you could not consider that a faction is called Fortress and there are other fortressess? Or that a faction is called Dungeon and there is other Dungeons? Hell, in H3 a faction is called Castle, while Castle is also the name for a common building which all factions have... (in all fairness, this was redefined as "haven" in other installments, but it doesn't sound like it fits much. I would have called it "hamlet" )

Well in H5 onwards, Haven could be renamed Empire, since it theoretically is one.

Possibly. Haven implies it's a place to take refuge. But on the other hand tis "haven" is actually a heavily fortified, strongly militarized, feudally stratified, religiously intolerant, human suprematist society, where most units are soldiers and male humans

Thus, unless you are already a human knight, it's unlikely you would find it a "haven" (not even for peasants since their ability makes it clear they have to pay taxes and aren't even part of the regular lineup since H2 :'v ).

Because it was a terrible town, or at least the lineup was. No lineup shod put the elementals on different power levels.
