Ban Ard

Ban Ard is set in the foothills of the Blue Mountains southeast of Ard Carraigh. The city’s main industry is mining, but it is best known as being the home of the Ban Ard Academy, the school for training boys in magecraft. At one time there was a healthy rivalry between the boys’ school and the girls’ school. Generally the girls won due to the greater discipline and confinement of Aretuza. The boys of Ban Ard are not confined, much to the disappointment of the townspeople. – Brandon of Oxenfurt
