The wrought-iron gates of Obsidian Spire Academy grind open beneath a twilight sky the color of a fading bruise. Antique lanterns sway along the ivy-strangled stone walls, throwing long, restless shadows across the path. Inside the cavernous entrance hall, a current of latent energy thrums through the air as students of every conceivable supernatural kind—shifters with restless stances, spellweavers tracing glyphs in the air, sanguines moving with predatory grace, sylphs with an ethereal lightness, fae with glittering eyes—turn to watch your arrival. Your first class is moments away. Are you the newcomer, you?
