Noren Academy No. 147¶
A Noren Workshop academy founded as its outpost for expansion and talent cultivation, with trial survivors expected to be its first mentors.1 From a first intake of under three hundred it has grown to about a thousand wizards of third level and above, with several dozen at the sixth level.51324 Jie Ming, Viola and Augusta hold mentor posts and rotate its garrison.3424
Overview¶
The academy opened ten years after native Elosians with wizard aptitude began to emerge and enrolled its first native class, with results that were poor at the first graduation trial.26 Founded late with a shallower foundation than old academies, it long lacked sixth-level wizards and tagged along on other academies' graduation planes.1317 By the academy meeting of over a thousand wizards the lowest present are fourth level, where at founding nearly all were first and second level.24 It now draws children from several hundred subordinate planes and prepares a resettlement plane for Jack's-plane humans with a clear assessment-based path upward.2633
