The Wandering Isles: Session 1
Rooms at the Arcanum
The new arrivals reached Maleficum’s Arcanum of Magic & Might and began settling into the school. Their first choices were practical ones: how to arrange the rooms that would become their homes.
Hatsu kept his room simple, leaving space for his weapons and the rose oil and sharpening stones needed to maintain them. Amaedrianna chose a balcony and the open view beyond it.
Dash requested a wine cabinet stocked with red and white wines, along with an armoire for his suits and robes. Eos furnished her room with herbal teas, lavender and candles. Weslyn and Slate were less certain about what they wanted and left room to make changes as they settled in.
School Customs
The group shared a meal, with Chicken the Fox joining them. Their guide, Luna, was a fifth-year student with the imposing build and features of a hippo. She explained some of the milestones ahead.
Third-year students could adopt aliases to protect their identities. In their fourth year, they would design costumes to accompany those identities. More immediately, the newcomers would undergo an assessment of their developing abilities.
A Feather on the Bed
Eos took Dash to the stables to meet Duckie. The horse promptly tried to eat his fine clothes. Eos stayed to clean and brush Duckie before returning to the others.
The evening ended with a nightcap and an unexpected interruption from Amaedrianna that left the group startled and amused. When Dash returned to his room, he found his window open and a jet-black feather on his bed.
