Situated on the second tier of the Tenten Peak, this sleek structure doubles as both a primary school and a continuing education facility. The school’s front is constructed of a pale stone, with arched doorways and skyglass windows, and a moderate observatory tower. The school itself is built partially into the side of the mountain; as such, a short bridge leads from the edge of the peak to the front of the building, which then slopes down and disappears into the rock face. The actual building seems small once inside; this is because it was built into the mountain, and slopes downwards, shaped intricately by reimancers of the Dawn Tower.
When one enters the school, they are greeted by the entrance hall, a somewhat narrow room with smooth, painted stone walls. There is a long desk that runs along the right wall where the receptionist, Laera, sits and does her work, as well as greeting those that enter. Around this area, the floor is littered with pink and blue throw rugs, and the walls are decorated with oil paintings. There is a winding set of stairs towards the back the leads up to the observation tower; the tower is small, but serves its function. Astronomy classes often take place in the tower, which is bare save for a few telescopes kindly donated by the Divine's Gateway.
Two more narrow staircases sit to the left of the stairs that lead to the observatory tower; another one that leads upstairs, and one that leads downstairs. The upper level houses the private offices of instructors and teachers, where they can go to relax or plan lessons when they're not teaching. The rooms are small but cozy, furnished with a comfortable chair and a large desk. Students are strictly forbidden access to the second floor unless a teacher requests their presence.
The lower levels house the classrooms. Each classroom has a fireplace set behind the instructor’s desk; these chimneys stick madly out of the mountain’s peak, which is partially the cause for it being set at the far end of its jagged tier. A few chairs and desks occupy each classroom as well, with thick rugs carpeting the stone floors so that they don't get too cold in the winter. During the hotter seasons, the cool stone rooms are a blessing.
The day begins at the eighth bell; young students traverse down narrow stone steps to the classrooms, where they’ll be engaged in learning off and on throughout. Day or night classes are offered according to preference and availability. The facility still observes the city’s set rest periods and the younger children are provided with free food and drink – usually star fruit and crisp mountain water. The school closes for the 17th bell, where instructors change shifts. The older students learn in a similar fashion. Classes on various subjects are held in pre-determined classrooms, and are scheduled at different bells for whatever length of time deemed necessary by the instructor.
The overall mission of the Academy is to educate the younger denizens of Lhavit in non-magical subjects. Curriculum for young students ages four to fourteen is free, and consists of writing, composition, leadership, mathematics, drawing, and one trade skill of their choice.
Students from age fifteen to twenty have a much wider variety of classes, and may choose which ones they wish to take. They are now, however, required to pay. Students over the age of twenty are not admitted, except for the occasional special circumstance. The facility boasts competent to even master instructors in everything from philosophy to philtering.
Each classroom is equipped with the elements necessary to make each student a success. Employment as an instructor is available via application at the front counter. An older student must present any weapons on their person if concealed before being allowed to enter the Academy; this is to ensure the safety of the attending children.
Name: Laera
Race: Ethaefal (Day)/Human (Night)
Birthdate: 372 AV
Birthplace: The Suvan Sea
Occupation: Receptionist at Alluvion Academy
Skills: Drawing - 48, Negotiation - 30, Observation - 30, Organization - 10, Painting - 25, Writing - 30
Languages: Common (Fluent)
Laera is the first one to greet those that enter the Academy, sitting behind the desk in the front hall. She seems very much the typical artist. Her voice is soft spoken and her eyes are always off in open space, wandering. As an individual she is notorious for her distinctly disorganized filing system. The Ethaefal’s desk is perpetually littered with applications, colorful documents, and class lists. It’s nearly impossible to fathom how she handles the monumental chaos around her, yet she manages the school nearly effortlessly and only rests during the city’s set periods.
She fell into the Suvan Sea years ago near Riverfall; that is where she spent much of her time, but she found the city's combat-oriented ways didn't suit her, and so she left. Eventually, she settled in Lhavit, her heart having been captured by the city's beautiful architecture.
Laera is an Ethaefal, specifically one of Syna's children. During the day, she is an unearthly beauty. Standing at a willowy 5’9”, her facial structure is gaunt and finely symmetrical. Laera’s demeanor in her ethereal form is that of a statue, scrutinizing the inquiring the surroundings with a level gaze, such a dark amber. Her hair falls long and loose, with soft blunt bangs across her forehead.
At night, Laera takes the form of a slightly shorter human woman, with fawn-brown hair that comes to her shoulders, and soft green eyes.
Name: Nyolt Paddok
Race: Human, mixed (Benshira/Inarta/Svefra)
Birthdate: 455 AV
Birthplace: Lhavit
Occupation: Teacher at Alluvion Academy
Gnosis: 2 marks of Eyris (Lykata level 2)
Skills: Anthropology - 70, Investigation - 42, Leadership - 54, Meditation - 60, Morphing - 58, Philosophy - 80, Rhetoric - 44, Teaching - 58
Languages: Common (Fluent), Nari (Basic), Tukant (Basic)
Nyolt is the anthropology, meditation, and philosophy teacher at the Alluvion Academy. With the dark skin of a Benshiran, the bright blue eyes of a Svefra, and a faded Inartan red tint to his hair, Nyolt Paddock is a living example of how the diffusion of race and culture has transformed the city of Lhavit.
With parents who were both mixed blood, and from two different parts of the world, the man had always grown up knowing the concept of culture and being fascinated by it. Thus, it may explain why the man was so interested in devoting his life to it as he grew older. He joined the Seekers at the ripe age of sixteen, and hasn't looked back since.
For the next forty years, Nyolt served in the Enterprise department, traveling all over Mizahar in search of rare knowledge, all the while sating his own desire for knowledge. He proved to be mediocre in combat situations, but more than made up in it when it came to picking up languages and interacting with the other races. He especially fell in love with the Inartan and Akalak cultures, visiting them each several times in his life, and establishing correspondence with a few key figures in both cultures.
Alas, old age crept up on Nyolt and forced the man to cut down on his trips. He still wanted to play a major role in cultures, so he requested to be transferred over to the Alluvion Academy as an instructor; he even enrolled himself with the Twilight Tower to learn Morphing to better teach his students. He still serves Eyris and the Seekers, assisting them with expeditions when needed, but teaching has become his life.
Nyolt has been with the Academy for six years now. An old man now, he still speaks of cultures with the fervor that he possessed as a teenager. His words are softly-spoken, each sentence planned out before they escape his lips. No matter the lesson, Nyolt has his students hanging onto his every word, questioning everything they thought they knew and looking for more.
Name: Priya
Race: Konti
Birthdate: 377 AV
Birthplace: Mura
Occupation: Teacher at Alluvion Academy
Gnosis: 1 mark of Avalis (Divination level 1)
Skills: Astronomy - 70, Calligraphy - 16, Composition - 53, Drawing - 65, Fortune Telling - 82, Rhetoric - 25, Teaching - 40, Writing - 63
Languages: Common (Fluent), Kontinese (Fluent), Nari (Fluent), Tukant (Fluent), ************I***************Vani (Basic)
Priya is the astronomy, composition, drawing, and fortune telling teacher at the Academy. She is a petite woman with iridescent pink and blue scales gracing her forehead, shoulders, arms, and legs, and long silver hair that falls in waves.
Priya made her way to Lhavit almost a century ago, and she took to the city like a duck to water. It had everything she wanted and needed to fulfill her life in a way that Mura couldn’t. Her mother had seen the city in a vision, telling her that she must find the city made of glass stars and help those there learn from her talents. It was just a matter of traveling across Mizahar to find the city. She paid her way, over the course of a decade, with the pittance a scribe makes; and when she finally gazed upon the city of Lhavit, she knew she was home. The traveling only helped her as she picked up languages along the way that would later help her with her teachings at the academy.
Kind and sweet, the Konti has a gentle voice and soft eyes. Despite this kindness, she has a strength behind her words that may hint to the length of travel she had endured to get to where she is now. She has no patience for slackers or those who have no real desire to be in her class. If she feels that you are wasting her time, she will send you from the room with a gentle nod towards the door and a “Thank you for your attendance”, before turning back to the class as if you didn’t exist. If you are truly there to learn all you can, she will happily teach you what she knows with a deep enthusiasm.

Languages: Common (Fluent)
Izo is the herbalism, mathematics, cooking, and philtering teacher at the Academy. He's tall and lean, with slightly long, shaggy that is dark with an auburn tint to it. He always has his facial hair neatly trimmed and styled, and a grin playing at his mouth.
Izo was born and raised in Lhavit; he became involved with herbalism and medicine at a young age, as both of his parents were doctors. Starting when he was 19, Izo worked at the Catholicon as an herbalist. He spent several years there, but quickly found that his true passion lay in teaching and helping others learn. While he still helps at the Catholicon from time to time, Izo spends most of his time teaching at the Academy.
Izo is a laid-back, playful man. He enjoys teasing his students, and is well-known for making his lessons playful and fun whenever he can. He knows when to be serious and stress the importance of certain situations; such occurrences are rare enough that his students know to listen to him when he speaks seriously.
