School of Affinities

The School of Affinities is the greatest of the calligraphy schools collectively known as the Nine Inkwells, making it the greatest calligraphy school in all Lingshen. The School of Affinities' pupils are the children of only Lingshen's highest-ranking nobles, each of whom is typically accompanied by a personal bodyguard. The School is located to the south of the Lingshenese capital city of Xiwu, next to the Golden River. Beyond educating the nation's elites, it also allows King Huang to keep the children of the most influential nobles close by in case he has need of them as hostages. The School of Affinities is also home to a range of Lingshen's artistic treasures, including maps, weaponry, and many examples of incredible calligraphy.
