“

None of Ascalon's academies of magic remain intact after the Searing. In its prime, the academy in Nolani was known all across Tyria as one of the most prestigious schools of magic on the entire continent. Ambassadors from Orr and Kryta often made special arrangements to have their children study here, even though they were not of Ascalon descent.

— in-game description

Nolani Academy of the Arcane Arts is a mission outpost. It was one of the most advanced schools in Ascalon. It had a sister academy in Drascir, with a portal in each academy linking the two together. The academy lies on the edge of the town of Nolani and has multiple obelisks for defense, though like much of Ascalon it hasn't seen use since the Searing.

Notes

The Guild Wars 2 Wiki has an article on Nolani Academy Ruins.

• Complete exploration of this outpost contributes approximately 0.2% to the Tyrian Cartographer title.
• There is a lever in this outpost players can interact with. Although interacting with it does nothing in the outpost, during the mission it will open the gates, making all charr rush in.

Trivia

• During E3 for Everyone 2004, the outpost was named "Stormcaller" and had a different outpost description:

  "Prince Rurik has discovered Stormcaller, an ancient weapon that will help hold off the beasts from the North. But to use it, he must get back to the capitol[sic] city of Rin. This mission is designed for groups of four high-level characters."

• According to a list on Guild Wars Guru, which seems to list various beta locations, this outpost had the full name of Nolani Academy of Arcane Arts.
