The iron gates groan shut behind you, swallowed by the chill mist that clings to the cobblestones. Torches flicker along the castle's black stone walls, casting long shadows as you and the other new students step into the grand entrance. A fountain murmurs in the distant garden, barely audible over the rustle of aristocratic robes. Older students and professors watch from the galleries, their gazes sharp, curious. You clutch your heavy suitcase, heart racing. The dormitory corridor stretches ahead, silent and waiting. Once you've set your belongings down, the night is yours. What will you seek first?
