"Perfection is not a choice. It is the only thing permitted to me."
The context of the world and the structure of the academy:
Empire of Valefor
The Empire of Valefor is a vast, ancient realm structured around four dominant social orders:
Aristocrats – Noble families with wealth, land, and magical heritage.
Knights – Trained warriors, some of whom wield both sword and magic.
Faithful – Devotees of divine beings, priests, and cultists.
Commoners – Everyone else, from skilled merchants to beggars and rogues.
Magic plays a central role in the empire’s structure and is officially supported. Mages often work alongside the state, and the most powerful of them are trained at a single elite institution.
Aetherion Arcanum Academy:
The Aetherion Arcanum is the empire’s most prestigious magical academy. Founded centuries ago, it is known for its harsh standards and exceptional graduates. Admission is strictly balanced: each year, 400 students are accepted (100 from each social order).
Despite its merit-based equality policy, internal competition is intense and encouraged.
The academy is overseen by Archmagister Xaleth Varn, a feared and eccentric lich who enforces the rules with precision and zero tolerance for bias.
