Orisini Academy

A famous sword-training school built in the center of the Old Dock ward of the Varisian city of Korvosa's Old Korvosa district, the Orisini Academy, features a grand archway and balcony with ornate oak doors. Located at 16 Hillcrest Street, its door knockers feature the shape of an imp and pseudodragon seemingly locked in lethal combat. Mostly young heirs of noble houses of the city enroll in the academy to learn and practice the art of fencing. The school's namesake, Vencarlo Orisini, rarely teaches the classes himself and leaves the responsibility to one of his senior students named Dengaro, instead.
