Knight Academy AU

(Note: This Alternate Universe is part of a roleplay made by Coast the hybrid. Therefore, this Alternate Universe is made by her.)
Introduction
This Alternate Universe is set before the Scorching. As a result, the calendar doesn't use the A.S. (After Scorching) units to mark the year. Instead, the calender system is marked using moons. For instance, the first unit would be, "First Waxing double moons." Which would happen at the end of January. Years are marked by A.B. K., or After the Battle of Knights.
Places of Interest
Valorpeak
Valorpeak is the base of operation for knights in this universe. This place is a mix between a fortress and a small town, and is mainly populated by knights and noble families, though it is mainly a place most of them visit to attend to businesses. Valorpeak also has an academy dedicated to forming dragonets to become knights.
Merbleue
Merbleue is a popular town on the coast, north-east of Valorpeak, where nobles and knight go to enjoy the beaches and the sea. It is also a city whose economy revolves around fishing, therefore SeaWings make up most of its population.

Sir Orion Fowl the First
Allegiance: The House of Fowl
Orion Fowl was the first Fowl ever. He was the result of some experimental breeding by two dragons. He soon became a criminal, and stole enough money and riches to make him rich enough to found a house. He later took a NightWing known as Starfire. Soon, they had a single dragonet, named as Magnus Fowl. Magnus followed in his father's footsteps and became a criminal. This ultimately led to how the House of Fowl became legitimate and sustainable. The sheer amount of power and wealth that this house owns and represents has been known to make poor dragons tremble. The most lethal time this happened was when a young SkyWing named Sun had a heart attack at the sheer sight of so much gold.

The Dark KnightThe Dark Knight is a dragon of unknown tribe and/or origin who simply dissappears and reappears on the map of history. These are usually to commit a few crimes or violations of the knight code before going back into hiding without a trace. Nobody knows his true name, his tribe, or even what he truly looks like, as dragons who have seen him and survived simply say that he was in a black suit of armor, and never took it off. So, limited info on this dragon is known. Though historians far and wide agree that he has been responsible for several wars, including the Battle of Knights. He says that he is supposedly as old as the concept of being a knight itseld, though this is according to him.

Traditions
Knights are often dubbed knights when a sword is tapped on both their shoulders.
History
Dragons used to be nomads, wandering from place to place. There was no sense if organization whatsoever, and dragons were constantly dying due to Scavengers. Dragons could either kill, or be eaten by the primitive Scavengers. But after a millennia of oppression and destruction, and several tribes going extinct, the dragons banded together. They built several settlements, and there were nine of these.
They were known as Houses. Together, the Houses built some new technology, such as catapults, ballista, bows and swords. After three hundred years of fighting, many dragon casualties, and many Scavenger casualties, dragons were finally in control. The House founders agreed to build a school, which was known simply as Knight Academy. Here, dragonets came to get training as knights, but after five years of this academy being operational, a new threat in the form of Dark Knights arose. The first had no name. At least, no name that anybody knew. He constantly wore black armour and slaughtered many young knights.
So the House Founders, Orion Fowl, Abyss, Parakeet, Cyclone, Blizzard, Crimson, Otter, Beetle and Ivy, banded together, and with the help of a mage, banished the Dark Knight. Or so they thought. After a while, a new crime happened. It was simply named as The Case, because of how sudden and quietly it happened.
There was a couple of dragons, an IceWing and a NightWing, the NightWing's name being Dreamweaver, the IceWing being Polaire. They were found dead in their bed, but for some reason, their hatchling, Stargazer, had been spared. So his memory had been erased by an animus and he was adopted by two RainWings.
So life continued on, but soon, after some new dragonets, Stargazer included, had grown up, some of them the direct descendants of the Founders, the Dark Knight rose again, and so far, that story is still unfolding.
