The Hunter's Conservatory is one of the most important buildings in the defense of the supernatural world. It is the very school where young hunters in training are taken to learn their knowledges of tracking, weaknesses, lore on their prey over the years, the prey's technology, and marksmanship training. They are divided into different sects called Conclaives, for each of the different supernatural creatures.   But one thing that should always be known about these ruthless soldiers of mortal prowess, they will eliminate if it comes to it. That or break an arm and a leg to be sure their point is across.  

The Student Looks

The students looks much like you and I, normal people getting the education they need to be able to survive in the world around them. They learn several subjects ranging from calculus to chemistry, but with a few more specialized classes for their trade.  

Uniforms

Uniforms for the students is a long duster-like coat with a hood. They are lined with a variety of furs ranging from bear to rabbit and wolf, with many other animal furs and feathers from different birds along the shoulders of the coat. The students will also wear a shirt underneath the coat and a pair of jeans or sweatpants while shoes are something students may decide.
The coats are usually black with silver stitching inside of the jacket with the Marksman name of the Hunter.
Inside the coat is a pocket which holds one thing, a small book. These books are known as the Hunt Log Journal where the hunter can keep record of each of the hunts they've done.   Each of the uniforms, depending on the Conclaive, have the symbol of their Conclaive on their back with the colors of that Conclaive.

Purpose / Function

This building was built for the basic training and education of young Hunter's so they know how to combat the world around them before they sent to their designated Conclaive buildings. There is not one conservatory, but three of them. The one in the kingdom is the most populated often being called the Prime Educator of Hunter Training.

Alterations

With the advancement of technology, the Hunter's Conservatory has been given the internet for learning, as well as computers, phones, and other ways of accessing such technology. The only basic and fundamental ideal that didn't change during the years was their weapon training. They train Hunters with Sword & Board, mace, chain weapons, daggers, hidden weaponry. But that is only their hand to hand combat, archery, throwing weapons, and how to fire and reload repeating crossbows are also basic ranged fighting techniques they have to learn.

Architecture

The building are shaped like gothic cathedral from the mid 12th century with three separate wards for each of the different purposes: Marksmanship, Martial Combat, and Research.  

Basic Looks On The Outside

The buildings have high arches, tall towers, light weight and large windows, light weight vaults supported one stone ribs and above all, the pointed arch across all arched values. The windows are decorated with stain glass, and ornamented with stone   The outside keeps the courtyard hidden, which is used for combat training, student hangout areas, and the archery range.  

Basic Look On The Inside

Mostly the colors white, black, marble, onyx, and grey are the common coloring for the buildings exterior and interior. While the interior has some of the name features just with basic electrical lighting and candle lighting. Very few torches and chandelliers are hung on the wall a-lit, but there are torches if needed. But with the basic electrical lighting, the candle-lit and torch-lit options are only in case of a power outage, which happens more commonly than most.   Some days the conservatory doesn't use any of the electrical lighting and use the other options available. On these days both, the professors and the students fear.   There are three floor in the central ward of the Conservatory. Each of the floors are littered with classrooms, listed with their own skillsets and what to teach.
The Martial Combat and Marksmanship wards have only two floors with only 250 classes. While the Research ward has four floors filled with books on how to protect the mortals from the Wolves and the Vamps that have disobeyed the rules given by the hunter.

Defenses

The defenses of the Conservatory are as follows:   The front yard has some of the greatest security with guard dogs and even some volunteers from the Wolf Bane Academy to keep the outside of the school safe.

While the Hunter's don't fully trust the Werewolves and Vampires, this agreement between the two completely opposite schools will ensure some sort of unison between Hunter and Werewolf kind. But the Hunters only ensureed the safety to the Werewolves and Vampires as long as they follow the rules of the kingdom.
  On the inside of the Conservatory are the trained Hunters, weapons, and armor.

Tourism

Visitors are allowed to visit the grounds. Tours of the grounds would take the tourists through the first two layers of the main ward where they will see through the window to the courtyeard, where they can see the Hunters training in hand to hand combat and testing their marksmanship in the range.
After the hunter showcase, the tourists are taken to the other two wards where they will only see the first layer of the Research, Martial Combat, and Marksmanship wards.   During the tour, tourists can see each of the hunter students going to work, taking tests on how to capture their quarry and even see (if they're lucky) the graduates of the Conservatory going to do their first hunt.  
Show spoiler
Of course the visitor's do not know the true purpose of the Hunter's Conservatory and only think that it is a new bording school for the military. This has been so the public will continue to think what lurks in the shadows is just that, something that lurks in the shadows and not out in the daylight.
