Chapter I: Orientation
Shortly after the beginning of the Era of Ascension, the College of the Frozen North located in the Artikos Archipelago was established. Agreeing to be a politically neutral entity on Oryth, the founders became known as the Scholars of Oryth, the official record-keepers of the world. Many arcane users study their whole lives in order to become part of this prestigious order. It is said that just becoming a student of the school is a near-impossible feat in and of itself. Every five years, 8 students of the arcane arts are granted a scholarship to be personally trained by the Council of Twelve, becoming some of the greatest arcanists Oryth has to offer. These studies not only participate in research and theory, but practical application and the world-famous Arcane Duels first imagined by the Scholars of Oryth.
You have been selected to become one of the eight students to be trained in the 'Class of Rebirth 545'. You will undergo intensive hours of study, trials, and assignments. Students will graduate upon the closing ceremonies of the Obsidian Gauntlet during the Day of Discovery which takes place every fifth year. Should you survive and complete the trials and tribulations of the Gauntlet, you will be dubbed High Mages of Oryth and all the benefits that are included with such a prestigious (and coveted) title.
The eight new students arrive at the College of the Frozen North where they are met by Headmaster Travyl Pathe and the other staff members of the college. One by one, the students introduce themselves: Moddy, Zaggok, Thalgron, Xini, Viska, Abir, Elyuja, and Lunny. They are given a tour of the grounds and instructed to acquaint themselves and choose a bedroom on the 4th floor. The Headmaster informs them that there are only seven rooms available in order to encourage communication and team building. Lunny not requiring sleep, however, does not select a room much to the detest of Viska who stumbled upon the still automata standing statuesque outside her door.
The next day the eight meet at the dining room for breakfast where they attempt to get to know each other better. Zaggok and Xini share stories of their past before Moddy, Xini, Viska, Abir, and Elyuja are summoned to the main study for their first class on Abjuration. They are introduced to Professor Gretchin "Skunk" Bronzeheart, Abjuration teacher and member of the Council of Twelve. Taking time to learn the importance of Abjuration and scribing the "Absorb Elements" spell, Skunk leads the participating students to the Teleportation Chambers for a field battlegame.
The objective was simple. Defend Practice Dummy, Stanley (who was soon dubbed "Stan the Man"). The Defending team was Xini, Viska, and Lunny (who was summoned by Professor Skunk in order to even out the teams) with Abir, Elyuja, and Moddy as the attackers. The match was a quick 42 seconds when the attacking team was defeated by total annihilation. Could Lunny, Xini, and Viska beat that score?
