History
The school was originally conceived by the Fae Queen and Sprit Elemental Amaltheia Poplarwhisk in -430. Land just outside the Elemental city of Passen was set aside for the construction, but it never happened. In -425 when Queen Amaltheia arrived in Baypool for a meeting with Dorthone's leaders, it was decided that the school would be built here, an area that many across the world would have access to.
Construction of the school took 5 years, and the magic of many different mages, Fairies, and elementals. Each represented in the construction. While various materials are used throughout the building, each has been purposefully enchanted and carved to give the school's unique atmosphere.
