The Academy

The Sedia Consortium of Military & Aeomance Academies, or more commonly just The Academy, was an elite military school in Sedia. It was the largest and most prestigious academy upon the Indrateran continent for quite a lot of history. 
== Information ==
The Academy was made of several small colleges, all clustered upon Onthos Hill on the outskirts of Sedia. Set up in the 1300s, it remained open through even the 250s TE. It taught academics, politics, soldiers' bootcamp, advanced warfare, military theory, and - unusually - aeomancy - weather magic. The aeomancers here helped protect Sedia from storms using the Weather Wall.
In Luana 252, it was wracked by a case of devil worship, which was solved by Ljana Vëretta and Eryon Martus. I wrote a story detailing those events.
=== Uniforms ===
Academians, as they were known, wore a distinctive uniform. It was a long wool trenchcoat of dark bluish-grey with white accents, gold buttons and epaulettes, and a large black shako hat with gold detailing. Their standard issue kit included a Decimus musket and a saber, but well-trained troops carried double-barrel hammer shotguns or Decimus 1486 lever action rifles. Officers carried revolvers and a silver-sun pendant which protected against mind-reading, charming, and low-level spells. Aeomancer soldiers wore a lighter shade of blue.
