1. #1The Citadel

   Keys: parapet gate, riders quadrant fortress, high ridge fortress, rider citadel, conscription trial, Citadel, dragon perch, the citadel

   Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   The Riders Quadrant is housed in a separate citadel, carved high into the southern ridgeline above the administrative buildings. Its towering stone footings are visible from the parapet, rising like fangs from the mountain. Built in an L-shaped layout, the fortress is made of fire-resistant stone and reinforced battlements.

   The walls are ten feet thick and eight feet tall—built strong enough to support dragons as they perch along the rim. There's only one entrance: the elevated opening that connects directly to the parapet. Inside lies a gravel-paved courtyard where candidates land after crossing the deadly bridge.

   On Conscription Day, those seeking to join the Riders must climb the turret, survive the parapet, and reach the courtyard. Only then are they considered part of the Riders Quadrant.

2. #2The Parapet

   Keys: bridge to riders, death crossing, conscription bridge, wind bridge, initiation bridge, parapet trial, turret stairs, parapet

   Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   The Parapet is a stone bridge two hundred feet above the Iakobos ravine, connecting the conscription turret to the Riders Citadel. Eighteen inches wide and unevenly mortared, its slick surface can be fatal. No railing. No safety. One wrong step means death.

   To reach it, candidates must climb a curved staircase of 250 unguarded steps in a dim tower lit only by scattered windows. At the top, wind howls through the crenellations, and the opening to the Parapet offers a full, unobstructed view of the cliffs and river far below.

   Crossing the Parapet is the first true test of a potential rider. Fall, and you die. Reach the other side, and the Citadel awaits.

3. #3The Courtyard

   Keys: parapet end, main grounds, formation ground, courtyard, riders square, citadel courtyard

   Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   A massive, open space connecting the turret and the Citadel via the Parapet. Large enough to hold over a thousand riders, it’s where cadets form up and receive commands. The courtyard is shaped like an angular teardrop, with a rounded edge formed by a thick outer wall. Stone halls line either side, and a towering four-story building is carved directly into the mountain beyond.

   This is the heart of Riders life—a space of order, power, and presence.

4. #4Stone Dais

   Keys: formation speech, stone dais, dias, command platform, rider announcements

   Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

   Keys: hidden bench, alcove, quiet corner, shadow spot, tunnel entry

   Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   A shaded, hidden nook tucked near the first defensive turret of the Citadel. A hard wooden bench rests inside, and the space is used for quiet conversations or moments of solitude. Few know about the tunnel hidden at the back.

6. #6The Tunnel

   Keys: secret path, mage-lit passage, hidden corridor, tunnel, iron gate

   Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   A narrow passage linking the alcove to the turret and dorms. Mage-lights flicker to life in iron sconces as you pass. The wrought iron gate at the end is massive—built like it’s meant to stop a troll or a dragon.

7. #7Western Gate

   Keys: ridgeline tunnel, western gate, flight field path, stone archway, gauntlet entrance

   Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   Located to the left of the Academic Wing, this stone door leads to a tunnel that crosses the ridgeline separating the Citadel from the Flight Field. The archway at the end—standing ten feet tall—opens directly to the Gauntlet.

8. #8First Defensive Turret

   Keys: first defensive turret, upper dorms, citadel turret, healers passage, stone tower, turret stairs

   Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   A key structural point near the Citadel wall. Inside, a narrow spiral staircase—without railing—winds upward for three flights to reach the second- and third-year dorms. The polished stone floors on the main level give way to a lower level beneath the main entry, which leads through a quiet passage toward the Healers Quadrant on the main campus.

9. #9Dragon Rotunda

   Keys: marble dragons, inscription arch, rotunda, pillars, glass dome, main rotunda, riders nexus, dragon rotunda, rotunda shortcut

   Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   The architectural heart of the Riders Quadrant—where form meets power. The Dragon Rotunda connects the academic wing, dormitories, gathering hall, commons, and library. A massive arched entrance bears the inscription: “A dragon without its rider is a tragedy. A rider without their dragon is dead.”

   From the courtyard, wide stairs lead to four entry doors. Inside, the three-story rotunda stuns with polished gray marble floors and a domed glass ceiling that catches the morning light. Two large arched doors lead left to the academic wing (marked by orange and black pillars), and two doors to the right lead to the dorms. Straight ahead, half a dozen steps rise to four more doors—those open into the Gathering Hall.

   Six carved marble dragon pillars (red, green, brown, orange, blue, and black) loom overhead, each sculpted to look like they’re crashing from the ceiling. Their snarling mouths frame the rotunda's central space, large enough to fit four full squads.

   Violet Sorrengail calls it the most breathtaking structure in all of Basgiath.

   There’s also a small gap between the claw of the red dragon pillar and the wall—often used as a shortcut between buildings.

10. #10Academic Wing

    Keys: lecture wing, classroom halls, academic wing, study tower, mountain wing

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    A massive, circular, tiered lecture hall at the end of the Academic Wing—one of only two rooms large enough to hold every cadet. Teachers lecture from the recessed center while cadets sit (or stand, if you're a senior) in creaky wooden rows. The back wall holds a 20-foot tall illuminated map of the continent, marked with border defenses. Mage lights line the chamber, compensating for the lack of windows.

    Accessed via the academic tower turret.

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Keys: secret forge, luminary forge, forge, smelting area, dragon forge, weapon crafting, xaden’s forge

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Hidden near the Flight Field, the Forge is the only known location in Navarre (until later events) containing a working luminary—a relic capable of channeling intense magical heat. The Forge is powered by dragon fire and used to smelt rare alloys and forge weapons, including daggers for bonded riders.

    The route begins from the Academic Wing, across the courtyard, through the tunnel toward the Flight Field, and down a narrow staircase. Access is restricted, and most cadets don't even know it exists.

16. #16Rider Dormitories

    Keys: upper dorms, leadership dorms, rider dorms, bonded rooms, second year housing

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Private rooms for cadets who’ve successfully bonded with dragons. These dorms are accessed via the First Defensive Turret and overlook the cliffs beside the courtyard. The third floor houses second-years like Dain, while upper-year leaders are granted larger rooms based on rank and merit.

    A quieter, more stable place compared to the chaos of the barracks—but still strictly monitored.

17. #17First Year Barracks

    Keys: first year barracks, third floor, curfew lights, jack barlowe, cadet rows, rookie beds

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    A three-story stone building for first-year cadets. The first and third floors are active sleeping quarters with more than 156 cadets packed into four neat rows of beds. The second floor remains mostly unused. Lights flicker on at sunset and cut off at curfew.

    Jack Barlowe’s bed is on the third floor—a noted danger to weaker cadets.

18. #18Barracks Hallway

    Keys: threshing survivors wing, green dragon arch, barracks hall, rotunda entrance, women's hallway

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    This hallway runs from the women’s wing on the first floor of the barracks, past various side halls that will one day hold individual rooms for riders who survive Threshing. At the far end is an arched doorway leading directly into the Dragon Rotunda.

    As cadets pass through, they walk beneath the gleaming gaze of the green marble dragon.

19. #19Green Dragon Statue

    Keys: marble dragon, dragon arch, green dragon statue, statue watch, rotunda guardian

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Positioned at the entrance between the barracks and the Dragon Rotunda, the green marble dragon is carved mid-snarl, one of six legendary pillars inside the rotunda. Its clawed base is the first thing cadets pass on their way into the central hub—and it has become a subtle symbol of silent judgment for those unworthy to bond.

20. #20Gathering Hall

    Keys: rotunda back, formal events, mess hall, riders dining, assembly hall, gathering hall

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

21. #21Commons

    Keys: common area, rotunda stairs, rider lounge, library access, study tables, commons

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

23. #23Healer Quadrant

    Keys: infirmary, healer tunnel, assessment aid, medical wing, ravine bridge, healer quadrant

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    A quiet but essential wing of Basgiath, the Healer Quadrant is where medics train and treat injured cadets. Connected to the Riders Quadrant by a narrow suspended stone bridge over the ravine, the entry ends in a sealed door. Inside lies the infirmary—lined with rows of beds and blue fabric curtains for privacy. Wooden chairs sit beside each bed, usually filled on Assessment Day.

24. #24Bell Tower

    Keys: curfew bell, tower chime, bell tower, timekeeper, academy bell, signal bell

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    The tallest structure in Basgiath, the Bell Tower rings out signals that govern the academy's daily rhythm—training periods, classes, curfews, and emergencies. Its chimes are unmistakable, echoing across the ridgeline and Riders Quadrant.

25. #25Infantry Quadrant

    Keys: infantry quadrant, soldier wing, combat barracks, ground troops, weapons training

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    The Infantry Quadrant trains foot soldiers and weapons specialists. It's structured with regimental precision—marching fields, weapons racks, and strict drill formations. Though less glorified than the Riders, their combat role is crucial.

26. #26Scribe Quadrant (Underground)

    Keys: rune halls, scribe quadrant, scribe tunnels, research vault, underground wing

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    A vast, subterranean quadrant beneath Basgiath. Only scribes and magical scholars frequent it. Its underground halls are lined with tomes, research chambers, and relic studies. Candle-lit and rune-guarded, it’s warded against intruders and rarely visited by riders.

27. #27The Archives

    Keys: archives, scribe magic, deadly ward, sealed texts, magic lock, forbidden tomes

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Housed within the Scribe Quadrant, the Archives store the oldest and most important magical texts in Navarre. Every evening, powerful magic seals the doors—protective wards so potent they become lethal to any living being inside. All must exit before sealing, or face death.

28. #28Administrative Building

    Keys: records hall, fortress offices, main gate view, admin building, conscription center

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    The sacred valley behind Basgiath where dragons live, nest, and fiercely defend their territory from gryphons. The Vale is home to dragon eggs and hatchlings—including Feathertails, the youngest stage of a dragon’s life. It is off-limits to all non-dragons, and guarded with extreme vigilance.

    Considered holy ground by the Riders, the Vale is untouched wilderness—remote, hidden, and fiercely protected.

30. #30Flight Field

    Keys: dragon training, launch zone, flight field, rider access only, gauntlet stairs, presentation day, box canyon

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Also called the training field, the Flight Field is a high-altitude landing and launch zone for dragons, located at the top of the ridgeline above the Gauntlet. Nestled in a natural box canyon, it offers jaw-dropping views—autumn meadows, golden trees, sharp peaks, and a roaring seasonal waterfall.

    Access is strictly limited. Only bonded cadets who survive the Gauntlet may climb the steep stairs to reach it. Unbonded, healers, or staff are not allowed on the grounds. A sulfur-scented dirt path cuts through the center, used for ceremonial events like Presentation Day.

31. #31The Gauntlet

    Keys: test of strength, gauntlet course, dragon trial, flight field access, the gauntlet, Course, presentation day, The Gauntlet, Gauntlet

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    The Gauntlet is a brutal physical course carved into the cliffside at Basgiath War College, ending at the Flight Field. Its five ascents mimic the skills needed for battle: balance, grip strength, stamina, and aerial mounting. The course is narrow, deadly, and unforgiving—especially on Presentation Day, when it is timed and monitored.

    Each ascent is separated by shoulder-width gravel switchbacks. Cadets who complete the course are allowed to access the stairs to the Flight Field. Failure can mean death.

    Special Rules for Presentation Day: Ropes every 6 feet down the cliff are for emergency use only. Touching a rope = 30-second penalty. Climbing down = disqualification. The course must be completed once it is started.

    Keys: swing challenge, buoy balls, second ascent, ball crossing, ascent one, ascent 1

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Keys: chimney climb, Ascent four, Ascent 4, log staircase, rolling logs, fourth ascent, crushing logs

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Obstacle 1: Seven Rolling Logs that rotate in opposite directions. Cadets must sprint across fast or risk being crushed.

    Obstacle 2: The Leaning Chimney—a 20-foot hollow shaft at a 20° angle. Cadets must form an X with their limbs to scale it.

36. #36Ascent 5: Vertical Ramp

    Keys: fifth ascent, final climb, dragon mount, vertical ramp, Ascent five, presentation day ramp, Ascent 5

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    The final challenge: a 10-foot vertical wooden ramp curved like a bowl.

    Cadets must sprint, leap, and pull themselves up to the cliff edge—mimicking mounting a dragon’s foreleg.

    No ropes allowed during the run. Practice ropes can be used only for safety (with penalties).

37. #37Basgiath Mountain

    Keys: stone fortress, mountain peak, basgiath mountain, Mountain, war college ridge, citadel cliffside

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    The War College is built directly into the side of Basgiath Mountain—its stone halls and towers appearing as though cleaved straight from the ridgeline. The mountain shelters the Riders Quadrant, Academic Wing, and core citadel structures, giving the fortress a powerful, looming presence over the surrounding terrain.

38. #38Iakobos River

    Keys: fonilee grove, oak trees, ravine river, iakobos river, riverbank, marked ones

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    A wild river that runs beneath the citadel, cutting through the ravine below the Parapet. In late summer, it's swollen from mountain runoff—its current fast, deep, and deadly. The banks are lined with waist-high grass and ancient oak trees. It's among those trees that Violet gathers fonilee berries and secretly observes the Marked Ones in the early days of her training.

39. #39Basgiath War College – Overview

    Keys: mountain school, navarre, basgiath war college, basgiath, morraine province, war fortress

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Basgiath War College is located in central Navarre, carved directly into the ridgeline of Basgiath Mountain in the Morraine Province. The college is a massive, split-tier structure:

    The lower fortress contains the Scribe, Healer, Infantry, and Administrative Quadrants.

    The Citadel (upper fortress) is exclusively for the Riders Quadrant, perched high above the rest of the school.

    The school overlooks wide grassy fields where four main roads converge beneath the main gate. Its massive battlements and turrets protect it from aerial and ground threats alike.

40. #40Basgiath Quadrants & Layout

    Keys: quadrant entrances, riders entry, main gate, sorrengail path, bell tower, school layout, scribe tunnel, infantry turret

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Each quadrant of Basgiath War College is separated and entered through unique access points:

    North Turret → Infantry Quadrant South Gate → Healer Quadrant Central Tunnel → Scribe Quadrant & Archives (underground) Southern Tower → Riders Quadrant (must be climbed)

    The Main Gate is used for official personnel only—no candidates enter through it on Conscription Day. Defensive turrets anchor all four corners of the fortress, one of which houses the Bell Tower. A cobblestone path runs along the southern side near General Sorrengail’s Office.

41. #41Candidate Selection & Requirements

    Keys: cadet exam, rebel children, volunteers only, quadrant choice, training program, rider candidate

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    To enter Basgiath, students must pass both a written exam and a physical agility test.

    Those who fail go to Infantry.

    Those who pass may choose their quadrant—except the Riders Quadrant, which only accepts volunteers and the 107 children of the rebellion.

    Candidates are made up of volunteers, conscripts, or criminals in service to Navarre. Once placed, they begin a three-year training program.

42. #42Cadet Communication & Restrictions

    Keys: first-year isolation, cadet rules, no letters, second-year privileges, communication restrictions

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    First-year cadets are forbidden from sending or receiving letters. Only second- and third-years are allowed to contact friends and family outside the college.

    This isolation is intended to harden cadets during their most dangerous and formative year—especially in the Riders Quadrant.

43. #43Cadet Death & Burial Protocol

    Keys: fallen cadets, stone fields, war college burial, effects burning, school funeral, cadet death

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    When a cadet dies, their family is given a choice:

    Retrieve the body and effects for private burial, or

    Allow the school to bury the cadet beneath a stone in the fields beyond Basgiath and burn their belongings.

    These memorial stones mark the cost of training the next generation of warriors.

44. #44Conscription Day

    Keys: parapet test, entrance trial, cadet assignment, conscription day, recruitment, july intake

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Though never given an exact date, Conscription Day is heavily implied to occur during the second-to-last week of July. On this day, candidates are assigned to their quadrants and begin their brutal journey—especially the Riders, who must first cross the Parapet to prove their worth.

45. #45Signets – General Information

    Keys: lesser magic, bonded power, signets, dragon magic, rider channeling, magical awakening

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Description: When a dragon bonds with a rider, it begins channeling magical energy through them. This grants the rider access to lesser magic (such as moving objects or energizing tools), but eventually unlocks a Signet—a unique, powerful ability born from the bond.

    A rider's signet is a direct reflection of their inner self—shaped by their identity, emotional needs, and core desires. The stronger the bond with the dragon, the more potent the signet becomes.

    Signet Key Points: Personalized Power: Signets are unique to each rider and reflect who they are at their core—not the dragon.

    Manifestation Window: Once channeling begins, riders have roughly six months to manifest their signet. If it doesn’t emerge, channeling may backfire, resulting in death.

    Emotional Influence: Signets respond to strong emotion. Lack of control can harm others—or the rider themselves.

    Signet Patches: Some riders wear embroidered patches to represent their signet—e.g., Violet’s four-point lightning bolt.

    Channeling Limit: Magic has a physical toll. For example, levitating a kilogram of fruit still drains the energy as though physically lifting it.

    Common Signets: Elemental Control: Fire, Ice, and Water wielding

    Rare Abilities: Telepathy, lightning, shadows, healing, and others that can define a rider’s legacy

    Case Study: Mushin Vedie Mushin Vedie, a cadet in Violet's year, failed to manifest his signet in time. His body lost control of the channeling process, and he spontaneously combusted during class, presumed to have been a fire wielder.

46. #46Dragons – General Information

    Keys: riot, dragon lore, feathertail, dragon age, dragon group, dragon flight, rider bond

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Dragons are magical, ancient creatures that bond with riders and channel power through them—enabling the use of lesser magic and signets. A bonded pair is known as a rider and dragon, but dragons are never subservient—they choose their rider freely.

    Dragons live up to 200 years, with 100 years considered middle-aged. They rarely bond before reaching full maturity, which is why feathertails remain a mystery. A group of dragons is called a riot—ten dragons make a full riot.

    Dragons are capable of flying for 24 hours without water and can go multiple days without sleep.

47. #47Dragons – Physical Description

    Keys: saddle seat, dragon scent, dragon anatomy, wing structure, dragon size, dragon eyes, scale pattern

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Dragons have four legs and two wings, differentiating them from wyvern. They average 25 feet tall when full-grown. All dragons have:

    Semi-translucent wings with a fierce talon at the wing joint Golden eyes, razor-sharp claws, and horns atop their heads A sulfurous scent, and teeth nearly the size of a person

    Their scales are thick, ridged, and interlocked—leaving no climbing handholds. The back has a seat (a smooth divot before the wings) and a pommel (a thick ridge near the shoulders). Infections may occur if small objects get stuck beneath their scales.

48. #48Dragon Mates

    Keys: dragon mates, dragon love, mated dragons, sgaeyl, bonded pair, tairneanach, life bond

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Dragon mating bonds are deeper than human love—primal and permanent. Once mated, two dragons cannot remain apart for long without their health suffering. Mated pairs often bond with cadets in the same year so their riders can train and graduate together.

    Tairneanach and Sgaeyl are considered the strongest bonded pair in centuries, and it's believed they will eventually be able to communicate across any distance.

49. #49The Empyrean – Dragon Leadership

    Keys: the empyrean, elder dragons, dragon council, dragon law, dragon leadership, dragon hierarchy

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    The Empyrean is the governing body or council of dragonkind. Although little is known about its structure, a strict hierarchy exists among dragons, with the eldest dragons receiving the most deference.

    During Empyrean meetings, dragons cut communication with their bonded riders, as humans are forbidden from hearing what is said. Dragon laws and decision-making remain a mystery to all.

50. #50Dragon Hierarchy & Bonding

    Keys: dragon choice, wardstone magic, eldest dragons, dragon deference, bonded riders, dragon hierarchy

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Dragons operate within a clear internal hierarchy, though the rules are not shared with humans. A dragon answers only to the eldest of its den and to the Empyrean itself.

    Bonding with a dragon is a sacred choice made by the dragon—not the cadet. Once bonded, the rider begins to channel power and may eventually manifest a signet. Dragons previously used this magic to help create the wardstones protecting Navarre.
