[QUOTE="Fangor the Fierce, post: 5836171, member: 17100"] As the night wears on, the drinks continue to flow and the laughter increases. New faces dot the tables, as it would seem that other students are returning from their leave and getting one last night of enjoyment in before they return to the rigors of the Academy life. When you awaken, it is just early enough to clothe yourself and eat a light breakfast prepared on the first level of the training grounds. As you headed downstairs from your rooms, other students bustled about their business. Some take interest in you being a new student, while others have more pressing matters to attend to. Your first day of training is one of mixed results. You are thrown into the throng of classes and sessions one after another, for many hours before lunch is served. At first, you wonder why you are sent into the various sessions of swordplay, spears, two-handed weapons, archery, shield defense and grappling. Then, after lunch, you are sent into another series of sessions dealing with more intellectual aspects of training, such as lock picking, herbal identifications, alchemical components, arcane writings, cantrips of both arcane and divine nature and the chance to pour over hundreds of books on various topics. This continues until dusk begins, at which time you are beckoned to Ferro's side once more. [COLOR=DarkOrange]"Today was a testament to the sheer amount of possibilities that we offer here at the Academy. You have merely scratched the surface of the paths you may take, and those that would interest you.

"We ask that you choose two disciplines at least, in which you would be trained in and tested regularly. You will train with the trainers with those disciplines daily, for 2 hours each.
