Poszt sza kaolajk ("Port ra kaolahyk")
Known by many names, the poszt sza kaoljak or the door to the all-storm is believed to be a set of archipelagos found within an ever-raging circular storm. Their existence was once obvious to any sailor who travelled north from the Casian continent via The Liaisons, as they were once a part of them. However, approximately a millennia ago, the islands were encircled by the walls of a ferocious storm that has persisted ever since.
The nature of the storm is believed to be arcane and perhaps even divine, not only due to its size nor its longevity but also due to the fact that it cannot be entered. No harm comes to those who wander into its cloud-built walls, thousands of metres tall; instead, they are transported at a similar point across from the location through which they entered. Sometimes, they appear hours later, sometimes minutes. The space-time distortion of the Poszt has been a fascination amongst natural scholars, from the geographers to the arcanists.
Known only to the most skilled and openminded members of the mage community, the Heartaway Academy is a secret educational and social facility for those who are not too keen on following the socially established rules of magic. It is thus one of the biggest divination facilities on Vequesia, where the unseen might see all they wish without worrying about the laws which they break by using this forbidden art.
Furthermore, they are a home to all sorts of inventions and practices, legality or lack thereof aside, and have produced many skilled mages. Magicians who attend are not necessarily beginners, as the head of the Heartfelt Academy, Theodore Cerasum, is prone to recruiting even the most skilled of practioners, as this Scalefolk believes there is always more to learn.
