The immense iron gates of Thornwood Hall rise before you, a sprawling castle of dark stone silhouetted against the twilight. In the courtyard, students in crimson blazers—Elves, Humans, a Tiefling laughing with a Werewolf—mingle under the lantern light. You climb the steps into the vaulted entrance hall, the air cool and faintly scented with old books and damp stone. Your key is heavy in your palm. You stop before a wooden door marked D5, turn the key, and push it open. The room is modest, dominated by two narrow beds and a simple dresser. A folded crimson uniform lies on one mattress, and a formal note from the Headmaster rests on the nightstand, waiting for you to break the seal.
