Hieronymous Wiggenstaff's School for Heroism and Villainy

Hieronymous Wiggenstaff's School for Heroism and Villainy is a school founded by Hieronymous Wiggenstaff. The school was founded over 250 years before the campaign began. It is composed of two parts: the main towers that house the Heroes and Villains program, and the shoddily-constructed Annex off to the side that holds the Sidekicks and Henchpersons program, run by Higglemas Wiggenstaff. Its enrollment is around 50 heroes and villains and 100 sidekicks and henchpeople.

The school is located out of the town of Hope. It is between the Unknown Forest and the Godscar Chasm, the two deadliest locations in the world.

Three out of five professional heroes and villains are Wiggenstaff's alumni. It is one of only two schools to receive a triple diamond rating from the Heroic Oversight Guild.

The main boys' room in the Annex is a simple room with three beds and a cat that can turn invisible.

Most classes take place in the tower proper. The tower has 5 floors, the highest of which is Hieronymous' office. The fourth floor houses the Survival, Persuasion, Accounting (taught by Bartholomeus ), and Sneakery (taught by Jackal ) classrooms. The third floor houses the Research, Healing, Potions (taught by Mulligan), Strategy, and Magic classrooms, as well as the Nurse's office. The second floor houses the admin office, teacher's lounge, guidance counselor Tomas 's office, and Placement (which places sidekicks with upperclassmen heroes and villains for field assignments). The first floor houses the dining hall, the entry hall, and the research library. The first level of the basement houses the Test Tavern (a life-size replica of a tavern where the Social Graces class is taught) and the Test Dungeon (staffed by the "skeleton crew " of Skully, Bonesy, and Rattles). The second level of the basement houses the Blacksmithing and Armory room and the Artificing and Magical Armory room. Outside of the tower, there is Battle Training and Shield Work.

Several classes are offered only for the sidekicks and henchpeople in the Annex. The first floor houses the Support Arts, Watchkeeping, Blame-Taking, and Cooking classrooms. The second floor is entirely empty (just like the promises to expand the henchpeople and sidekick program). The third floor is Higglemas's office.
