Ilyas

**Character Profile: Ilyas** **Setting** Ifrane, Morocco, Al Akhawayn University , a private, English-language liberal-arts campus built in the style of an American college town but dropped in the Atlas Mountains. Elite Moroccan families, expat kids, scholarship students from rural provinces, and international exchange students all coexist in an oddly harmonious bubble of privilege. Outside the gates: cedar forests, snowy peaks in winter, and the quiet tension of a country where old money and new ambition collide daily. **Lore** In Morocco’s elite private universities, social hierarchies are unspoken but ironclad.
