The Clash of Cohorts

The School is organized into three groups that are always competing, these groups are called Cohorts. Each Cohort contains 15 students of each grade for a total of 60. Cohorts compete in everything, but most importantly the Clash of Cohorts. The Talon School recognizes that power is the ultimate decider and the ability to enact violence is the ultimate power, thus it embarks to make sure that all of its graduates are able to hold their own by subjecting them to regular combat simulations. This is done with a special form of Astral Projection. The students are projected into a prepared demiplane, and when they fall to 0 they wake up in their bodies and can watch the rest of the match, though they will feel exhausted. Combats are generally done in groups of 5 known as parties, this is to emphasize teamwork with close friends.

When a match is scheduled you learn your opponents 1 week in advance. On the day of the match the higher ranked team bans 1 map, then the lower ranked team chooses one of the preset maps, times, and weather conditions. During the playoffs, the maps and conditions are chosen for you, often with surprise twists like secondary objectives. The Freshman Map Pool is Arena, Big City, Small City, Cliffs, Forest, Haunted Manor. The map pool changes based on grade. Each party has 10 matches in a season, first you face the other two parties in your cohort, which determines your ranking in your cohort class, A, B, or C. Then you face the other 6 parties in your grade. Then you face the two parties in the grade above you from enemy cohorts with the same letter rank. Seniors, instead of facing the grade above them have one match abroad and host one for an international team. Those who win the Senior the Clash of Cohorts can be entered into the Bradis Gladiator Championship.

Points are tracked throughout the year and in April are tallied up. You get 1 point for each person eliminated, you get 2 points for being the last team standing, you lose 1 point when the last member of your party is eliminated, and you gain 1 point for every 2 party members who survived. When you are not within 100ft of any enemies you can "Escape", in doing so you leave the simulation and don't suffer the penalty for having all members of your team eliminated, but you also don't count as a survived party member for point purposes. Cheating is encouraged and will be worth extra points when executed correctly. There is a time limit of 45 minutes, if nobody is dead both teams lose 3 points and the match is called.

Clash points add and subtract directly from Cohort Points, except in matches where all parties are in the same cohort.

Skyball

Skyball is played in a giant magical bubble with 2 goals, one on each side. The forcefield negates fall damage and bounces the ball, which has a diameter of 2 feet, a kickball-like texture, soccerball type hexes, and an enchantment for half gravity. There are four players per team, all of whom wear magical boxing gloves. These gloves cast fly and lock you out of concentration, and prevent you from grabbing the ball. They also have a knockback enchantment instead of doing damage. Each game lasts 10 minutes of in-game time, and they play best of three. Each win is counted as 2 Cohort Point. There are 2 Skyball teams per Cohort, a Varsity and JV. Each Team plays the others at its level twice per semester and at the end of the year the JV champions can challenge one varsity team of their choice from a different cohort. If the challenging JV team wins, their Cohort gets an increased budget for dormitory upgrades.

The School also competes and sends an All-Star team comprised of students from all three Cohorts to the Scholastic Skyball Slam. A tournament comprised of teams from schools around the world. Participants include Talon School, Imperial Academy, Giant Genitalia College, Zirdy Academies, The Red Institute(Bradis), and Kotland Viking College.

Dances/Balls

Every year the Talon School hosts 3 dances every year. The first is the Powerball and it happens after the first Cohort v Cohort Clash match. It is an opportunity to show off if you won your match and let everyone know your ranking inside your cohort. The second is the Winter Ball held just before everyone goes home for winter break, a celebration of the end of term. Lastly, there is the Spring Fling, which happens in the spring after the interschool matches. Students from the guest schools are also encouraged to attend, it is a symbol of international cooperation.

Government

To give the noble students chances to learn governance, in addition to required courses on the subject the Talon School also gives its Student Government immense power. The Student Council Campus King is chosen from among the Juniors of the Cohort who won the Cohort Cup last year, some input is taken from the previous King but the final decision is with the Professors. The King chooses a Steward, who is like a vice president and serves as King when the Campus King is unavailable. Each class of each Cohort also votes for a representative, which can be vetoed by the professors. A 3/4 majority vote with the Kings blessing can also oust a representative. The Headmaster also can choose 1 student to represent his interests on the council. Also the Party who won the Junior Cohort Clash gets to elect 1 member who isn't already on the Council. In the event of ties, whichever side the King voted for wins.
Student government helps determine what Adjuct Electives will be taught the following year and interview professors. They can make school rules, set the dress code, and plans events. Some current school rules created by student government include:
Dueling Declarations in the week leading up to Valentine's day you may challenge someone in your year or higher to a duel and if they lose they have to go on a valentine's date with you. But someone else can then challenge you to steal your spot on the date.
Food Fights. instead of cohort point deductions or detentions the punishment for starting a food fight is eating nothing but bland gruel and chopped broccoli for a week. Unless the food fight is declared by the Campus King, then there shall be no punishments for anyone involved.
Surprise Chorus The Campus King may at any time demand that any group present sing the school song.
Poker Night Once per week on Wednesday nights the student government will have a poker night. Attendance is mandatory for at least 10 minutes but you don't need to bet anything if you don't want to. All bets made, at this night and generally on campus, that are witnessed by an SGA member who will swear under zone of truth will be enforced by SGA.
Genius Clause Any attendance infractions given by teachers will be wiped out if you can successfully pass the quiz.

Assets

The school allows students to bring their own equipment or rent it from the school. Each party gets a budget based on its point total in Clash of Cohorts. When you are reduced to 0 during a Clash, magical items rented from the school will drop. Teammates or enemies can pick them up. Items not picked up are returned to the school's item bank. Losing an item in this way means you cannot rent it for the rest of the season. The school holds a limited number of each item, many only have 1.
Refer to the Magic Item Tables on Page 140 in Xanathar's Guide To Everything. Items appearing on the Minor Items, Common table are 3 points. Items found on the Minor Items, Uncommon table are 5 points. Those found on the Major Items Uncommon table are worth 10. Items appearing on the Major Items, Rare table are worth 18. Upwards of that, each item is priced individually starting at 25.

Guilds and Factions

There are three Cohorts at the Talon School. When you get there you get drafted based on standings in the Cohort Clash and the Cohort Cup. Dragon has been the undisputed champion of both the Cohort Clash and Cup for the last 6 years now and drafts many of the best candidates before the other cohorts get a chance. Griffon gets second and almost got first last year in the Cup if not the Clash. Treefolk is the runt of the group, getting what are seen as the least valuable students and hasn't won a Cohort Clash or Cup in over a decade. Every student is required to wear an armband on campus distributed by the school, unless sleeping or bathing. Your armband is color coordinated, red for Dragon, blue of Griffon, and Green for Treefolk. It also has your year and letter rank, if you are the best of the freshman you are 1A, if you are the worst of the juniors you are 3C.
Every year the three cohorts compete for the Cohort Cup. Academics, Discipline, Clash of Cohorts, and Skyball all factor into Cohort Points. At the end of the year the Cohort with the most points wins, in addition to bragging rights the winning cohort gets first choice of classes and an upgrade to their dorm. Graduating Seniors get a magic item as well.

History

The Talon School was formed 750 years ago when the founder Othorion Talon got an unprecedented number of apprentices approved by the Order of Mizzet. It started as a single tower to house his 15 students, but more and more nobles wanted to have their children taught by him. He began hiring help to teach them all, and didn't have permission to teach them all magic. So he hired more teachers to teach other things nobles should learn. Then wealthy merchants wanted in and suddenly it became a tradition that the wealthiest and most powerful 16 year olds would go to the Talon school every year to begin their college education.
