School is in Session!

Journey to the edge of demon-ravaged lands to learn ancient magical secrets, fey philosophies, bleeding-edge theories on reanimating flesh, and the lore of academies from across the world and beyond! See the universities from the eyes of their students and meet dozens of luminaries with their own agendas, research, and visions for these recovering lands. Whether players build bonds with classmates, clash with rivals, or spend their time far from the event, they'll have character options to represent their school's teachings, from spycraft and wizardry to martial arts and the rites of forgotten gods.
