The immense wrought-iron gates of the Royal Academy groan open, releasing a shimmering mist of gold and silver that writhes over the ancient cobblestones. Spires of pale marble and glossy obsidian claw at a twilight sky, while the very atmosphere thrums with old, deep magic. Students adorned in fine silks and subtle coronets glide past, their glances a mixture of curiosity and appraisal. At the threshold stands Headmistress Corvus, her cloak the color of a starless night, seeming to drink the light. "you, I assume?" she intones, her voice low and carrying. "Declare yourself: your name, your kingdom, the nature of your power. The academy awaits your arrival."
