The Zenith Academy of Vein-Craft

The Zenith Academy is not merely a school; it is a fortress of knowledge suspended three miles above the Concordia Basin (a neutral territory between the West and East). It is the only place in Isya where Royals, Commoners, Elves, Dwarves, and Humans mix.

It is Isya’s "Vein-Melting Pot." Here, a Prince of Gardenia might be forced to partner with a Dwarven Smith from Valencia.

• Motto: "Veins Bleed Red, Regardless of the Crown."

• Affiliation: Neutral. Protected by the Council of Veinwrights (ARVA).

• Admissions: Highly selective. Requires ARVA Certification of Tier II (Flowbearer) or higher by age 16, or a specialized "Potential Waiver" (for scholarship students like Ren).

🌍 Location & Architecture

The Floating Isle of Zenith

The campus is built upon a massive chunk of Skystone tethered to the ground by four colossal adamant chains.

• The Spire: The central tower, housing the Headmaster’s office and the Auragraph Core (a massive crystal that stabilizes the island's mana).

• The Biomes: The campus is divided into magically regulated zones to accommodate different Vein Types (e.g., a "Sun-Deck" for Solar veins, a "Storm-Tower" for Tempest veins, a "Shadow-Vault" for Lunar veins).

• Transport: Students arrive via Mana-Skiffs (small airships) or by riding tamed Griffins/Wyverns to the Sky-Docks.
