Under Brennt's guidance, the Institute transformed from a pure research program funded entirely by donations and the proceeds of publications, into a full-service university primarily focused on the study of [[Mystical Creatures]]. While Dragonology remained the core mission, the expanded base offered tuition and endowments. It also allowed the organization to attract more talented experts, which both furthered research goals and heightened credibility.

	Brennt's primary influence was a shift from direct encounter to passive observation. The study of dragons was still his ~~principle~~ obsession, and he reasoned that if the dragons would not submit themselves for analysis, he would simply analyze them from afar. He ordered the construction of a high observation deck for a team of spotters. Using telescopes, field glasses, and various other equipment, they began an intensive regime of systematic study of the dragons flying around and above Warsong. When this program began to yield useful results, a second team was assembled in [[Arindell]]. Brennt would later set up expeditions around the [[known worlds]], using a practiced and disciplined approach.		Brennt's primary influence was a shift from direct encounter to passive observation.

Brennt would later set up expeditions around the [[known worlds]], using a practiced and disciplined approach.

	His first major contributions to the field of Dragonology were the discovered that dragons nearly always fly in perfectly straight lines, and the delineation of the various life-cycle stages. While these would later become better known, Brennt was the first to observe clear differences between Reds, Blacks, and Golds; and was the first to prove conclusively the Fire, Earth, and Air type-variations. These had been hinted at before, but as no dragon would explain them, it was up to Brennt to divine them. He is widely regarded as the first true Dragonologist, and is recognizably the first to undertake a systematic study of dragons.

	Though it did not happen until after his death, the Institute was responsible for the first widely-accepted treatise on the subject of dragonology, titled ''The Beasts of the Air''.

When questioned, the dragons responded, titles like that were why they never talked to anyone from the institute.

	By A.Y. 4400, the ongoing meticulous research at the Parceltongue Institute had mapped the three then-known stages of the draconinc lifecycle, and began to make real estimates on the lives of dragons. Many books were written, but the nature and volume of the work was published in folios. One such collection was brought to the [[Library of Arindell]] for preservation, where it caught the eye of a budding young philatelist named [[Yule Steinheart]]. Yule would use this research to build much of his seminal work ''[[Scalgdorf's On Dragonology\|On Dragonology]]'', published in 4479. Yule made only a few short visits to the institute itself, but had a long and very close relationship with it throughout his life. Several buildings are named after him and there is a large statue of him on campus.
