In my game (I think), the Raanaar Elder sent me to the Academy. How do you get there otherwise? Another thing you missed by not getting the symbols is the 3rd Raanaar language translation book. With that, you can read their notes and books perfectly in Act 4....The book is in the area you go to via the teleport stone on the west side of the map--in a dead-end hall opposite the symbol--but if you get the symbol first, you will be ported back with no way to retrieve the book...
