A magic school like no other!

The oldest and most prestigious magic academy in the world is the Magaambya, an ancient institution founded by the greatest wizard the world has ever known. This wizard vanished long ago, but his sinister enemies plot against his school and those who attend it. Over their long academic career, the heroes rise from humble students to become teachers, and they ultimately hold the fate of the Magaambya magic academy in their hands. Graduates of the Magaambya are among the greatest wardens of the world, but if the heroes can't marshal the strength of thousands who have come before them, the venerable Magaambya might fall!

	The Magaambya is perhaps the greatest and oldest academy of magic in the world, and its students know they are supported by the strength of thousands of students who've come before them. History, magical lore, and much more can be found within the walls of the school, but students of the Magaambya aren't confined to the campus. They are expected to learn from, and share knowledge with, the wider world—and that wider world has plenty of adventure to offer!
