The Casalian Arcane Academy of Higher Learning (CAAHL) is a private school situated beyond the Nobles District of Casale. The school campus is made up of a series of large, multi-floor stone buildings and looming towers speckled with rows of arched windows. To the left of the school's main buildings lie the dormitories, separated by gender as east and west houses, respectively. Beyond the gates lies a fountain and blossoming garden that spans out to meet a dense forest, marking the edge of the campus property.
It is one of a handful of prestigious academies across Soreion, and only one of two on the continent of Searagus (the other belonging to Liberty City).
Competition to attend CAAHL is both fierce and pricey, as attaining mastery of the arcane arts without having first apprenticing under a wizard, sorcery or priest can span upwards to a decade and cost thousands and tens of thousands (in rare cases hundreds of thousands) gold. Many of Seargus' elite send their children abroad to the academy to learn many practical, etiquette-related and educational skills and knowledge as a supplement to their usual studies of nobility and the courts.
As it is a private school, the royal family have little say in the management of the academy, beyond the city and realm laws that apply to all Casalian business and entities under their rule. Instead, CAAHL is run by a president, two deans and a council of members (all former students and/or teachers, known as the 'Directorate') who maintain different duties, including voting on decisive issues concerning the school. This council also serves another role as sponsors to the school, often using their own money and time to provide scholarships to extremely talented people who would otherwise be unable to afford the steep tuition that comes with this level of educational excellence.
The current upper-management faculty include:
Fenniker Deluront: President Harley Endinborough: Dean of Martial practices Valourel Mendarth: Dean of Arcane practices Lady Cathlorin Redstrom: Member of the Directorate Nielven Capeheart: Member of the Directorate Rilba Goatsteak: Member of the Directorate Himdan Scalesplit: Member of the Directorate Bianca Komin: Member of the Directorate
