Heroes are not born. They are forged in the fires of experience, and tempered in the waters of wisdom. It is my duty and my honour to help forge the heroes of tomorrow.
Chancellor Eldenheart of the Imperial AcademyContents
Overview
The Academy is an in-character school run by NPCs which focuses on providing activities for young role-players. It aims to give them a fun and interesting role-playing experience while also helping them learn about the game world and, of course, how to play the game. The sessions provided by the Academy cover as far as possible all aspects of the game, including Combat, Magic, Alchemy, Physick, and the Virtues. In addition the Academy provides "field trips" and other adventures for its students.
Our aim is to prepare young role-players to be fully-fledged characters in the game, which can be achieved by them passing their Test of Citizenship. The Academy has a prize-giving at the end of each event to reward students for their hard work!
IC History
The Imperial Academy at Anvil is an educational institution and Imperial Sodality which is concerned with training the next generation of Imperial Heroes. They are overseen by the Canterspire Academy in Urizen, whose Chancellor acts as its administrative and academic leader. Although the core members of the Faculty are Urizen scholars from Canterspire, they employ teachers from many other Nations, and have a notable relationship with a number of Navarr Stridings, whose view of the Great Dance resonates with the Academy's mission of bringing future heroes to their full potential. The Academy offers free tuition to any Imperial child.
Attendance
- Children attending Academy activities must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times
- Children cannot be left at the academy unattended
As the Academy is run by volunteer NPC crew, they cannot be left in loco parentis at any time. Children attending the Academy must be accompanied by an appropriate parent/ guardian at all times; this is for the safety and protection of both the Academy crew and the children.
