Location: Haven Academy, Mistral

---

Today was an important day.

Not just in the City of Mistral, but for all of the kingdoms. Flocks of would-be students who had passed entrance exam qualifications would be coming into the city for an assembly and initiation assessment. Some would come by rail, others from air. For a select few Mistral was their home and their feet would take them to the westernmost plateau where Haven Academy stood quietly waiting for this year’s flood of recruits. Young men and women who desired to be huntsmen and huntresses, for some personal reason.

Seeking out to become a protector against the darkness was no easy feat so whatever those individual reasons were, it was not going to be easy. By all measures one was not a student of Haven, or any other mainline academy simply by passing a test, getting a recommendation, or some other metric. Attending meant passing initiation tests and much like how Beacon Academy handled things, in Haven one would arrive before heading to the assembly in the grand hall and following instructions. On the next day the weak and unworthy would be weeded out one way or another. For some it would end in a funeral rather than a great personal shame. This was not a lifestyle for the meek and unprepared.

It was an hour after noon when a crowd of new students reached the open gates of Haven Academy. From the plateau one could see Mistral Central Station in the distance, downward on the stairwell that rose along the incline upwards to the plateau. The sound of the train that went from Mistral to Argus could be heard as a soft wind blew across Haven's academic grounds.

Once through the gates one would enter the quad with the grand hall in the center with two transmit towers to its left and right. At the center stood various benches and hedges. Some of the returning apprentice huntsmen and huntresses could be seen finishing up their lunches or talking things over with friends or visitors. Each bore a uniform of Haven, a conservative yet stylish blend of black and white. It would be what each of the new students would be wearing if they passed initiation. In fifteen minutes they would be drawn into the great hall to hear what the headmaster’s instruction would be.

It would give them some opportunity to bump into other would-be students, some more literal than figurative…

I'll be trying to get the first post up (later) today or tomorrow now that I have some free time.

War Never Changes III: Annals of the East

@TGM There is no Fort Wayne mention in your profile. No error has been made. I was saying that - for your post and for RP purposes - that your southernmost people would notice the activity and surmise that somebody else's territory is there. If they have any knowledge of the Enclave, they may also spot the logo and know who it is.

@FalloutJack

Ah, I see.

After thinking on it for thirty minutes I have decided the teams will be broken up into these two sects during the initiation arc and forward:

Team 1
Artemisia _@FrogRFlowR
Azure _@Datadogie
Dune _@Bartimaeus
Sepia _@TGM

Team 2
Bren _@PrankFox
Heather _@Cello
Midori _@Eisenhorn
Silme _{@Raijinslayer}

Color name will be decided at the end of the arc. Probably.

What Are You Listening To?

War Never Changes III: Annals of the East

@TGM Two things:

{1} It sounds like your territory's southern-most area of influence is Toledo, which is not technically far from Fort Wayne. This is important because the Enclave is expanding in a northerly direction to reach that, having secured a direct route past the anti-aircraft weaponry of Indiana Homes (Indianapolis). Basically, any spotters you have looking further south into the Indiana area will start seeing Vertibirds. This northern expansion is also relevent to @Yam I Am for mapping purposes.

@FalloutJack

I thought I deleted all of the Fort Wayne mentions from my sheet. In the original draft I had their influence a bit larger than I wanted in the end, I'll edit it. Thanks for noticing it!

Anyway, I'm off to bed.

Grimm Noir [Rebooting~]

So, like any RP I run. I run my RPs through my personal discord with a RP channel/category within that general discord. Main link is here. I'll give people the permission as they join. Might be going to bed soon so you might have to wait 'til morning for access.

Dungeons & Dragons: Itiner -- 5E

@TGM I'm guessing I wouldn't be invited to this, given experiences we've had in the past with each other. Likewise, seems like you've got plenty of players to spare.

That said, I am interested, so if you find you need another player and aren't against me taking part, send me a message and let me know.

@Necroes

I ain't got a problem with you Necro, but unfortunately you missed the deadline for the RP by a week. If a spot opens I'll throw you a ping. If you ever want to shoot the shit about D&D my discord is always open.
