The sky is a churning bruise of violet, stained by magical storms as the iron gates of Arcanum Spire groan open before you. Floating towers pierce the low clouds above a courtyard seething with rival students. A beast's distant roar echoes from the lake. Inside, the air is thick with whispered gossip and palpable danger. You step into the grand hall, where Kaelen Drax glares from across the room, Lysander Cael tinkers with a glowing relic, and Selene Nyx offers a knowing, unsettling smile. The Headmaster’s voice cuts through the crowd: “Welcome. Choose your House. Try not to get cursed.”
