The academy chronicle

Velmora in Twenty Chapters

Beyond its towering obsidian gates, Velmora Academy rises from a snowbound mountain as a somber fortress of knowledge. Its grand black courtyard opens into granite corridors, stained-glass lecture halls, glass-domed wings, and a cathedral-like central library whose hidden Flamelock vaults preserve dangerous histories of memory, bloodline, and fire.
