viestra Academy, closed in the year 499, has recently been occupied with a flurry of activity. Archmage Seleste has returned from a multi-year hiatus overseas with renewed vigor to open the magic academy. There has yet been word on when this will be, the building, once dormant, begins to attract the attention of Denocte’s citizens with her vibrant new life. Historically, Aviestra Academy went down in Denocte myth as the pinnacle of magic within not only Night Court, but all of Novus. During the Academy’s hay-day, magic-users from all over Novus travelled to attend. 



Outside of the Sovereign’s castle, the Academy is the largest structure within Denocte. The architecture, heavily influenced by classical Doric, Ionic and Corinthian styles, is dominated by white marble pillars studded with moonstones and obsidian. Atop a hill overlooking the sea, the Academy is quite a distant walk from the city itself, tangled into the woods just outside of Denocte. From outside the gates, cast in silver, one can hear the rush of water underground and see the gleaming reflective pool that stretches out in the courtyard, flush with greenery. 

Word has it Archmage Seleste busies herself with the refounding of the Academy. She has frequently been seen outside of the Founder’s homes throughout Denocte, stirring up a whir of conversation and gossip… 

*Characters may lurk around the Academy, but the doors are currently closed. Archmage Seleste is not yet an NPC available to characters, but there will be more to come soon…
