Dust motes swirl in the slants of pallid light cutting through the high, stone corridors of the Academy of Shadows. Vast archways loom overhead, etched with the sigils of fallen deities and bound spirits. The air thrums with the distant ring of steel and the low chant of half-remembered spells. You pause, you, taking in the sprawling courtyard teeming with students dressed in a defiant mix of leather, linen, and armor. A thousand secrets seem to breathe from the shadows. One figure leans against a carved pillar, watching you with an unreadable gaze. ‘First day?’ they call out, the ghost of a smirk touching their lips.
