| No reason provided. |
After Craaken's escape from the war on Erd, which resulted in the end of the Espresso civilization, he founded Ambergris Prep to share his wisdom of the Baklava solar system and the universe. His main focus was its sun, which contained the legendary planet Nova. To preserve his knowledge, Craaken published a grimoire called Book of the Darned: Death and Rebirth of a Sun. However, Craaken was crucified and most copies of his grimoire were burned,[1] leaving only one left in Ambergris's library.[2]
Thousands of years later, Ambergris became well known for its numerous graduates, who would go on to become famous across the Baklava system. Kale, Rogan Josh, Twigadamus, Biscotti, Biek Fowler, and Blueberry Lakeside were among those graduates. Miss Madeleine also attended Ambergris following the events of Magical Vacation, spending over eight hundred years studying and annotating Craaken's book.
Nomenclature
Its name comes from ambergris, a waxy substance found in sperm whales' intestines. Some Eastern cultures use it in spices and medicines.
