Quote:PrefaceSo IC I've been spending a lot of time at the abandoned tower east of Osrona as well as the local town just down the steps from it's grounds. I can only assume that this is the location of what was once the Academy? Basing this only on the Academies explanation on the wiki; though I'm slowly getting through the lore. Now my IC isn't old enough, or at a place that would warrant her to come into custody of the academy, but I'm sure it would be easy enough to find someone interested or wise and elegant enough to be said headmaster!
Opening this location and the small province near it would be perfect for an all encompassing academy meant to represent Osrona and House Pellaux, as well as the other houses and guilds within the city. It could even work as a great place for newcomers to learn the basics of playing(in an in lore fashion). It could be a fresh new place to rp, pvp, run events, or even create new lore and scene possibilities. I'm not sure what it would take to get it running- but I'd love to hear suggestions and of course I'd love to aid in any way. As such, here's my pitch!
The Academy of Osrona: Future of Orsona
While in Osrona, it would be considered an affiliated group of House Pellaux; with the soul goal of raising wise,respectful, and more importantly- powerful and skilled Knights meant to protect and serve their glorious home. Combining the studies of magic, combat, and tactical knowledge. Proud and legendary Knights patrol the halls of AoO during the day and during the fall of night students will be protected in their lodging by those in the Watch. The Academy of Osrona will ensure new-aspiring knights to discover their true strengths within it's hallowed halls- striving to create new legends, today!
Tuition
Crafting young minds is a long and argues process- as such, AoO requires a yearly fee of 5000 gold from it's attendees. All funds go directly to Osrona tax's, Faculty Income, and *Special Activity Funds. An additional 50 gold is required per day by each of member of the student body as renters fee for *Student Housing. After paying said fees, students will be entitled to official faculties on AoO grounds.
Scholarships
While during the day students will be entitled to full access to Academy grounds and faculties- seeing tuition is paid; as well, they can be permitted residence within AoO owned township Entia just to the southwest of the Academy grounds and down the rock incline. Any and all destruction of Entia grounds will result in immediate punishment or worse! As mentioned in Tuition; a 50 gold coin a day is required for maintenance. As decreed- AoO offers special Scholarship's to member's of royal families( up to 90%! ); affiliated parties limited to similar scholarship benefits( up to 75% ). As well, *official mentors can request a 'Privilege Clause'- ensuring a student tuition exception on the grounds that said mentor can create a solid reasoning for their entry into the Academy.
Special Events Directory Department
SADD is a small group of official mentors and the Academy's Headmaster. They handle all matters related to Special Events. These actives could include guest speakers demonstrations for student body, school plays, field trips , and many other possible recreational activities involving the student body. As well they ensure budget for said Special Events
Student Housing
Seminars
At the heart of our Academy is it's instructors. Each masters in their art and wise in their practice. Students are required to spend at least one hour per week at the Academy attending an instructors seminar. Seminars can last 20 to 60 minutes and can include spoken lessons, outside lessons, Special Events, PvP practice, or Special Speakers. Seminars schedules will be posted on the official school board for all students and are only eligible to students with paid tuition.
Staff
- Headmaster
Spokesperson for AoO and mysterious scholar. The headmaster ensures all activity on Academy grounds fall under the regulations and rulings enforced upon them by House Pellaux. They are also tasked with a weekly meeting with the remainder of the staff to ensure scheduling and other duties are being performed. A headmaster must perform his/her duties to the upmost of her abilities. - Mentor
Classes at AoO are varied and always expanding. Performing research and planning a lesson plan for a semester is key to their duties. A mentor can be hired on through contract for no longer than a year; though they may sign another year when said contract is expired. Anyone seeking to create a new class or fill a empty mentor role must do so through the Headmaster. - Cafeteria
AoO's cafeteria is sanctioned and sponsored by many of the reputable business owners withing Esshar- and is not covered by tuition. - Librarian
AoO's Librarian must be reserved and duty-inclined. Thanks to our magical book sorting system; a librarian will only be tasked with the duty of ensuring the protection of their domain. As such, the librarian should possess great skill, even opening the position to those in other Osrona-affiliated groups. - Groundskeeper
Similar to the librarian the Groundskeeper must be strong- though their attitude can vary. Groundskeepers are given the duty of protecting the grounds of AoO as well as student housing.
