The XI Institute is a massive "X"-shaped edifice at the heart of Paradomea City. Standing 180 feet tall, it descends three times that distance into the Underdark, entirely crafted of Naanabrak. This choice of stone was to ward the place from spies and thieves. The XI Institute is a secret research complex dedicated to advanced weaponry development. A considerable portion of the research funds is supplied by the Council of Nine. One of the most powerful items to emerge from the Institute's laboratories is the Telek Cage.

In 1114, a substantial amount of Web lore was supplied to the XI Institute by a Conclave wizard named Izrapthân. This information propelled the XI Institute into prominence, rendering them, after the Eldritch Conclave, a preeminent center for the study of the Web of Magic.

XI Institute is privately owned by XI Institute Holdings. Within this facility, they manufacture the Gith Lances utilized by the elite soldiers of the Githlarâk. The necessary positive energy to charge the ammunition for these weapons originates from the Ring of Phalgas. This positive energy rift resides within the Palace of Nine and is accessible only to those granted the highest level of clearance.
