Primrose Academy Entry
Concept:
Elaria is a planet that is both rich in lore and history but also dangers and mysteries. The twin moons circle the planet at night. Creatures of all kinds are around and adventure waits at every corner. To that end Adventuring Academies have formed to help teach young teens the art of adventuring and how to be ready for the dangers. This story takes place at the famous school called Primrose Academy, where a new student is joining
History:
Elaria has seen its fair share of wars and battles. Having once believed in “Chosen ones” now the focus has shifted to Parties of heroes who handle situations, to teach these parties schools were formed. Primrose is one of the most well known and is by far the largest. To deal with the size of their campus and the number of students they have coming in each year, students are broken up into “parties” ; these parties live in a house on the grounds and have many classes together. They can take quests from Victory Hollow’s quest board or the one provided in the school’s tavern.
Setting:
You are a first year entering in to Primrose for the first time, you get to choose your race (Vampyre, Werewolf, Human, Elf, Dwarf, Amphimpean, Altered, Veil Walkers, Half-Demons, Centaurs, Terasil(Half Elf/Half Dwarf)) as you enter in to the school and go through classes and quests that a first year student needs to go through with their party mates to the second year. The player can choose to customize his entire party. Each party is normally made up of five to six students, it is there responsibility to make updates and changes to the house as well getting food and other needed equipment.
