Welcome to the Lyceum of Keys—an elite, barely sanctioned postgraduate academy for magicians who are too clever, too reckless, or too powerful to be left unsupervised.

Hidden in the snowy town of Coldwater, NY, the Lyceum trains the next generation of magical thinkers, door-openers, ritual-makers, and occasional reality-breakers. But this isn’t your standard magic school. The world is coming apart. And the faculty definitely aren’t telling you everything.

A year ago, the Doors—the ancient gateways to other realms—Closed. All of them. At once. Twenty-three people vanished. Now, only three remain open.

The school says they're under control. The school is lying.

✶ What We Offer ✶

🗝️ A multiverse-meets-academia setting inspired by The Magicians, Ninth House, The Locked Tomb, Ten Thousand Doors of January, and A Darker Shade of Magic

📚 A deeply lore-rich, high-stakes world built around a custom, scholarly magic system and unraveling metaphysics

✒️ Literate-to-advanced writing expectations | Collaborative, character-driven storytelling | 21+ writers only

📂 Player-driven plots, character arcs, custom quests, and a macro-plot about unraveling realities and dead gods

🌌 Three active Doorworlds (for now) | Cosmic horror, magical disasters, dark academia drama, & eldritch secrets

💬 Out-of-character vibes: chaos in the group chat, a little feral, always supportive, chronically online

✶ At the Lyceum… ✶

Magic doesn’t sparkle. It scars.

But for those willing to brave it—

there are still doors left to open.
