The iron gates of Veiled Shadows Academy groan shut behind you, sealing out the last glimmers of twilight. Lanterns flicker along cobblestone paths, casting long shadows that writhe like living things. A figure in black robes emerges from the mist, studying you with cold, calculating eyes. "You are a blank slate here, you — no name, no past. Prove you belong, or disappear."
