The School of Knowledge for Gifted Children

The most prestigious academy on the continent, founded for research and slowly turned into a playground for nobles.

History

Grand halls with towering arches, polished floors and glowing crystal lights; vast open yards of greenery; dormitories, an infirmary, a training ground under a magical barrier, and an arena with a bronze gong.

It merges magic, swordsmanship and martial arts. Within the last few decades discrimination has become abundant: children of higher-born nobles are treated as kings while commoners are treated as slaves, available to their betters for the occasional thrashing.

Each year the Battle of the Kings decides who rules the student body. The headmaster, himself a commoner, watches over all of it.
