Solenne: a magic academy roleplay
The Imperial Academy of Solenne is a stone academy of the magical arts built against the palace wall of the imperial capital, where the court walks the students’ halls. You arrive late, on a scholarship, with a rank the Academy has no record of — in the one season the whole court is watching.
Share a suite with an incurable gossip, cross wands with the duke’s heir at the top of the dueling ranks, and find out what the archive is missing. Romance here takes its time; so does trust.

This season: the Selection
Every rank, every duel and every sealed letter this season is about who the court will name. The standings go up in the Great Hall, the duels are fought in chalk circles in the Training Yard, and everyone wants to know where the new student fits.

Where you'll go
Places in Solenne
The Great Hall
The vaulted hall where the whole Academy eats, hears lectures, and watches the Selection standings go up.
The Training Yard
Packed earth, pale stone arches, and the chalked circles where the Selection's duels are fought.
The Moon Garden
A walled garden of pale night-blooming flowers and a still reflecting pool, at its best after dark.
The Archive
The round tower of records where every rank the Academy has ever granted is written down — except one.
The Observatory
The open top of the highest tower, where the wind readings are taken and the whole capital lies below.
The Lantern
The warm low-beamed tavern in the student quarter where every faction drinks under the same lanterns.
