caliburn is the world's most prestigious institution - home to the children of kings, queens & nobles, all fighting for power and relevance under a system meant to galvanise their drive to succeed. and it has worked ; the world has entered a second age of monarchies; but at what cost?

teachers do nothing but teach, and return home. authority is doled out to prefects who enforce the will of the untouchable round table, and your status is weaved into the colour of your blazer and the piping on your lapel. you could sit up there one day; with the stark white jacket and golden piping, but student governance is a battlefield and every move you take threatens your reputation.

no matter where you go, no matter what you do, someone is watching. grey eyes in the library, scratching secrets into the page. brown eyes in the quad, sporting a golden armband. blue eyes, seeking social credit, hidden behind a phone screen. the anonymous reach of **panopticon.**

there's a place for you up there, in the white jacket. that's not a question - it's yours if you want it. the question is not whether you can, the question is what it'll cost you.

The Nation-states of Staggarath have come to know three things; Magic is Vile, The Night is Dark, Nobility is True.

Before this age where the Night is Dark and full of monsters, the Church of Ignis and the Crown of Staggarath decreed practitioners of Heathen Magic be put to death. It was 150 years ago when the night went dark save for the lonesome moon, and the Church's Faith and Divine Light could no longer fend off the monsters in the dark. The Nobility of the land, for their own purposes, suggested they take up the Practition of Magic. With reluctance, Crimson Sigil Academy was formed to help defend the Nation from the Night.

The Church still loathes Magic, the Night is starting to become more dangerous, and the Nobility have become restless in pursuit of power. Will you stand with the True Faith of the Church or Heathen Practices? Will you bend the knee to the hierarchy of this institution you've been conscripted to or will you alter the course of history?

Welcome to The Academy of Arcane Arts.

Hidden beyond mortal kingdoms and veiled deep within the ancient forest of Elarion lies a sanctuary untouched by ordinary time. Here, beneath towering spires and moonlit halls, the chosen are gathered to study the oldest force known to existence:

*Magic.*

Some among you were called through glowing faerie rings. Some walked through waterfalls whispering forgotten prophecies. Others stepped through celestial rifts beneath eclipsed skies.

However you arrived, know this:

The Academy does not choose lightly.

Within these halls you shall uncover ancient secrets, forge unbreakable bonds, survive dangerous rivalries, and stand upon the edge of powers capable of reshaping worlds.

Yet every spell carries consequence. Every choice leaves a scar. And not all who enter these gates survive what awaits beyond them.

✦ Welcome, Initiate. The story begins now.

— *Headmistress Amethyst Rosier* Supreme Keeper of the Arcane Veil
