Marching From The Fallen Star; Cyrillian Academy


 Adapted From- The Star Tide

The academy's Blue Towers, towering structures of elegant design, are the physical manifestation of its intellectual prowess. These towers house countless libraries, lecture halls, laboratories, and living quarters for students and faculty alike. The architecture is marked by a blend of classical grandeur and intricate magical enchantments, showcasing the academy's commitment to both beauty and arcane power.

Numerous scholars, researchers, and seasoned wizards dedicate themselves to pursuing magic in its various forms within the academy. The faculty consists of experienced spellcasters who have honed their craft and are eager to pass on their knowledge to the next generation. Students are mentored and guided through rigorous academic programs, where they study diverse magical disciplines, from elemental manipulation to divination, from illusion to conjuration.

One prominent society within the Cyrillian Academy is the Astrological Symposium. Comprising experts in planar studies, the symposium explores the intricate connections between the planes of existence and the material world. Their focus on astrological phenomena, celestial influences, and the interplay of planar energies allows them to gain profound insights into the nature of magic and the cosmos.

The academy is known for its independent nature, operating outside the control of any kingdom or ruling authority. It values the freedom to pursue magical studies without undue constraints, allowing its members to delve into arcane research and experimentation without interference. This independence grants the academy a unique position of influence and respect in the realm.

The Cyrillian Academy is a haven for knowledge-seekers, magic enthusiasts, and those who revel in the mysteries of the arcane. It offers a rich environment for adventurers who are driven by intellectual curiosity, the desire to uncover ancient lore, and the thirst for magical power. Within its hallowed halls, secrets of the cosmos are unveiled, new spells are discovered, and the boundaries of magical understanding are pushed further, making it an ideal faction for those who seek to explore the depths of arcane wisdom.

What the Academy Knows:

The astral compass is a strange and powerful magical artifact. The secret of its creation has been lost to history, but it is rumored that ancients of an age-long past were responsible for its construction. The oldest of texts record an even lesser known secret: that two astral compasses were made…one left in this world, and one sent deep into the Astral plane.
