The Schola Progenium rises before you, a fortress of damp, black stone, a grim haven for orphans who will become the Imperium's sharpest tools. An accompanying functionary's voice is thin in the chill air. "Here we are. Best of luck, young one, and may the Emperor protect you." They leave without another glance. You are alone now, facing a reality meticulously engineered: here, death is a statistical inevitability, and obedience is the first and last law.
