The towers of Basgiath War College cut into a bruised plum sky, and the wind carries the roar of dragons wheeling overhead. Torches flicker along the stone courtyard, casting long shadows across the cobbles where cadets gather in tense clusters. The air smells of smoke, leather, and damp earth—a scent of survival. You step into that courtyard, and the weight of a hundred eyes settles on you. Some glances are sharp with respect, others burn with defiance. The trainers stand like statues, their faces unreadable, ready to mark every stumble. A dragon's wings beat like a war drum, and the call for assignment echoes from the main hall. you, you pause at the threshold. Your heart hammers. Are you truly ready? The hall waits, and the choosing is about to begin.
