The Hailstorm Academy



Established as a feeder training facility for The Hailstorm Surge war effort. The academy primarily aims to train Paladins and Clerics, although it has strict policies not to close its doors to wielders of any magical aptitude. Created entirely as an initiative unaffiliated with any single kingdom, all are welcome within the halls of the academy, and no kings or gods are to be recognised whilst studying or visiting, only the divine knowledge of higher beings.

Situated in the very center of the town of Bleakmore The Hailstorm Academy is a large military campus, consisting of various barracks & training halls. Although currently only teaching half of the students it could be, the academy remains a busy facility, and has really done wonders to improve the Bleakmore's economy.

The Hailstorm Academy is run by the inquisitive and softly spoken Gilda Arcward who has taken on the mantle of head magistarium for the Academy. She oversees the training of recruits and the hiring of new trainees.

The Academy works closely with its more clerical arm which is also located in Bleakmore: The Scarred.

Since the inception of the Academy, there has been a noticeable increase in the proximity of the undead forces from the East. Arcward has begun the work of moving the Scarred to within the walls of Bleakmore although the room needed is not available yet.

Hailstorm Academy Description

The Academy is located in the center of the town. It has an impressive main building where recruits go through the magical and spiritual training required to fight the undead. This is five or six storeys tall and stand above the other buildings withint he town. Behind this building is a large grassed area for physical training activities. Around the edges of this 300 square foot training grounds are a number of two storey stone buildings where recruits stay whilst training. Those that teach and train stay in the main building but once recruits have passed (usually after two years of training depending on experience) they have to leave and are usually fast tracked into the Hailstorm Surge to be spread evenly alongside the regular troops trained by the Sleetguard kingdom.
