Aethelgard Academy rises from the pines of Eldermoor, ringed by high walls of grey stone. The sky hangs low and heavy, threatening rain. At the iron gate, flanked by vigilant dragon statues, Magister Valerius offers a gentle, knowing smile to the cluster of anxious new students. The air thrums with latent magic and first-day anticipation. Now the academy opens to you: wander its halls, meet your peers, and may fortune favor your journey.
