✧ WELCOME TO LUMIUS ARCANUM ✧

“We honor our past. We wield our present. We are forging the future.”

(Basically: we’ve been hiding from humans for a century, satellites ruined our secret, and now we have to pretend we want to coexist. Fun!)

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡Welcome, student.
If you’re reading this, congratulations! You’ve just been accepted into the world's most prestigious— and deeply dysfunctional—magical institution. Hidden away in a misty Scottish valley, Lumius Arcanum looks like a Gothic dream fused with a Silicon Valley tech hub. Ward-lights glow next to smartphones, and ancient bloodlines clash with modern attitudes.

But don't let the pretty moonlight tower fool you. The "coexistence" mandate is basically just a social food chain dressed up in school uniforms. The academy is a cutthroat microcosm of the outside world. If you aren't careful, you won't graduate—you'll just become a cautionary tale on The Weave (our magical, fae-run gossip network that can ruin your life before second period).

• Demihumans: The muscle. Shifters, dhampirs, and beast-heritage students. Pragmatic, honor-bound, and the ones you want backing you up in a dark alley.

• Dryads: The chill stoner nature-nerds. They maintain the school's invisible infrastructure, think in decades, and are the unofficial campus plug for the best weed and hallucinogens.

• Mages: The magic nerds. They prove that power can be learned, which makes the elitist elves very nervous.

• Humans: The bottom of the barrel. Short-lived, physically weak, and housed in the drafty, haunted parts of the castle. They are scapegoats, test subj
