Our world is beautiful.
It would be a shame to waste it.

First and foremost, Starfall Academy's staff wishes to congratulate all of its recent Graduates. While not every single year was blessed with the same opportunities and accommodations each and every single one of you have proven yourselves in one way or another and your diploma are a proof of such. Moving on, after over a decade since its popular opening the Academy has changed quite a bit and so, we at the Academy believe it would be best to introduce you all to the current staff.

Headmaster, Ethric Athelier
Professor of Physical Education, Haarper Aertas
Professor of Applied Magic, Rosemarin Loire
Professor of Artificery, Clotho Moira
Professor of Alchemy, Sylva Aerta
Professor of Pyromancy, Dallan Aegeus
Professor of Writing and Poetry, Hironori Kamiya
Professor of Exorcism, Chaska Alder
Professor of Runecasting, Henry de Vir
Warden of Starfall, Seifer Gardios


Haruki Taiyang has decided to retire from his position of Warden after many years and we all thank him for it. Entrusting the Irradiated Shrine to his replacement, Seifer Gardios, the kitsune has high hopes for the future and can be seen on the premises of Starfall from time to time taking care of the new light in his life. Naturally, the new Warden has decided to use this opportunity to speak on his intent.

"The old man claimed that Jiuweihu's light has little room in a region such as Esshar, one brimming with Primordials and their devout followers. I do not intend on changing the Shrine's name, but its purpose will be renewed. The Irradiated Shrine will be a place where all and any Primordial can receive praise and prayer. It opens its doors to anyone, no matter the nation they hail from, so long as mutual respect exists. Should you be misunderstood, feeling alone, lost, or in need of aid the Shrine's staff will welcome you with open arms."

The Irradiated Shrine welcomes Ektu Eidu as its first staff member and wishes to send a message to all of those who are currently living within the temple inviting them to meet with the new Warden. Should no one present themselves the room they live in will be vacated by the end of the year. As is tradition with the Irradiated Shrine, Seifer Gardios asks of those who wish to use the rooms to seek his approval first, 'lest we wish to repeat issues even the Shrine's founder had with strangers claiming ownership.

Finally, Starfall Academy remains open for children of all nation. Its 5-year program is something we believe any aspiring magi could benefit from. Classes, school trips, and expeditions are handled by the professors themselves should you have any questions.
