Maester Ulman of Feä's Martial Pursuit and Magical Application class bid her aside one day. He offered some small praise for her progress, to which Feä returned humble gratitude, and then he proceeded to his main point. "You strike me as a more adventurous student—that is, adventure being...

When I Heard the Learn’d Astronomer By Walt Whitman When I heard the learn’d astronomer, When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me, When I was shown the charts and diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them, When I sitting heard the astronomer where he lectured with much...

Seated in the dining hall, Bliss had been feigning her enthusiasm as her classmate was explaining his choices of ingredients. A talent baker, particularly with pastries, Owen had decided to test potion filled custards and berry compote and make them into tarts. She had already braved the...

It was the dead of night at the Elbion College of Magic. Scant few were walking the halls and no one was in the college’s expansive food Pantry. A surplus of goodies both local and exotic, kept fresh by magic which allowed seasonal delicacies all year round for the students and staff. Amidst...

"Girls sneeze differently when boys are around." Coppo stared right at Suleiman as he said it, and his expression was one of a man conveying pure fact. Suleiman, however, blinked several times, looked about their dorm as he gave a moment's though to it, and then replied: "Nuh uh. No way. That...

(OOC: The thread is open to all College students and staff). Vaezhasar had arrived early, as became a man who liked to stack the odds by the simple expedient of being the first piece on the board. He sat, not quite enthroned, but certainly accommodated, in a chair he would have described, in a...

Vel Anir; Anir Square It had been a momentous expense, though one Petrus hoped would reap ample dividends, for the brief procurement of a corner of Anir Square and a building with access to it, for the hosting of a scholarship gala to Elbion College. He still, after all, maintained distinct...

There were a few students in the cafe even at this hour It was nearly time for the curfew. It was one of the few places students could scrounge a refreshment between the designated meal times of the dinning hall. One such unlucky student having slept through dinner was sipping a tea and groggily...

It was another moonlit night. Most of the halls bereft of the usual clatter of students steps or spells being fired in the next room. An hour when none but mice stirred about the campus. Even the mid-night oil burning serial cram students had turned in for the evening. In such a scarcely...

It was an early morning. No, it was still night. Only just. Yue slowly opened her eyes with a resigned expression as she was pulled from sleep. She knew what had woken her without stirring from her bed. A whimpering wail broke the silence muttered pleas following incoherent in its wake. Yue sat...

Excitement and trepidation blended together in the heart of Feä Mindalië. In her hand she clutched the first Pass of her College studentship, and she'd but to present it to the sentries at the gates of the College, and she could go forth into the City itself, Elbion proper, and do as she pleased...

A student's performance at Elbion could be evaluated in a wide variety of ways, but they could largely be bundled into two categories. 'Practical' exercises, such as making a potion, breaking a ward, or creating a fireball of a given size or temperature. These exercises were ultimately why the...

It was a strange sensation to go to sleep in one place and awake in another. Aiko had fallen asleep in the comfort of her bed and awoken on a metal slab in pitch darkness. Light was thankfully easy to summon, with a simple incantation providing a ball of purple light to the room. The slab which...

(open to any Elbion college student or Maester as this is a sort of open house meeting.) The study of celestial bodies and movements of stars is integral to many forms of magic. It is precisely for this reason that the celestial observations and study committee (stargazer's club) has a long...

Excitement bubbled beneath the surface as she approached the wing of the college where Aiko resided. Svenia wasn't entirely sure she was able to hide it very well - not that she needed to, anyway. The opportunity to spend time away from other classmates and - more importantly - one with which...

OOC/ For first year students only "You get your filthy hands out of my pockets!" Calixtus shouted. It didn't have the intended effect. The goblin gave him a sharp back hand. It hurt. "It shuts it's stupid face!" the goblin spat. It finished patting down Calixtus and stepped back. "S'not a...

Where is it? The thought pierced through Aiko’s mind as she searched around the table with as much quickness as she could manage without showing. There was a difference between moving with purpose and being frantic. There was a time and place for the first, but never the second. Aiko knew well...

In a quiet more secluded corner of the courtyard lay a winding coil of snake like tail. It was a quiet morning and Nilamani had slunk off to resume their original form and warm up in a patch of sun. They didn't truly begrudge being essentially confined to legs for most of the day, but it was...

Open to students of Elbion College. First years attending, older students as course helpers. ——————————————— Despite being within the city, Elbion College was vast enough to have a few large courtyards and fields within its borders. Some distance from the main buildings (and a considerable...

Bliss had been waiting in the open training arena all afternoon, mulling over the beginner principles of warding magic. Not that she needed it, it was a way to adapt herself to teach. When Maester Blodwyn asked her of this favour, it wasn't one to exercise the word no to him. "You have excelled...
