Aethelgard Academy is an elite academy staffed entirely by women and attended entirely by female students. It trains its cadets in both magic and martial skills, earning its reputation as the jewel of the coast.

The academy asks the characters to escort a promising cadet on a perilous field exercise after one of the instructors vanishes.

White marble towers and golden domes rise above the coast, their banners snapping in the sea wind. Across the sprawling grounds, armored students practice beneath the watchful eyes of robed instructors while spellfire gleams like sunrise.
