The Academy of Sassarras

At the center of the city of Sassarras is the Academy of Sassarras, also known as the Mage Academy or the Academy of Blood Magic. Here the most promising sorcerers of the continent are trained to become powerful mages. The Academy is run by Ely Omberwood, a powerful sorcerer with an intimidating presence. Whenever she's in the room all people fall silent, afraid to speak out of place.
Omberwood was born in the south of Sovar and at an early age showed great potential as a sorcerer. She was taken into the academy and trained. Quickly she rose in the ranks and became a favorite of Archmage Inofonder who ran the Academy at the time. By the age of 25 Ely had become the second highest ranking member of the Academy and was expected to replace Inofonder upon his death. His death came sooner than anyone expected and at only 30 years Ely Omberwood became the Archmage of Sovar.
Outsiders know very little about what is taught at the Academy. Some believe it teaches blood magic, inspired by the ancient practices and rituals of the Dragonborn. The fact that for many centuries the Academy was run by Dragonborn supports this theory.
Archduke Sarkass has a great interest in the Academy and visits often. He handpicks his court mages and some believe he even trains under Ely as well.
