Academy of the Thundering Chorus

The Academy of the Thundering Chorus was an academic institution dedicated to standardizing firearm production, training, and legality. In typical Tumorid fashion, as firearms became a volatile problem throughout the region, the solution that best gained traction for combating the issue of unregulated firearms was widespread education. To this end, the Academy of the Thundering Chorus was founded in the year 2501. To draw in prospective students, the academy offered a free top-of-the-line firearm to anyone who completed their rigorous training course and earned a licensing certificate. In doing so, the Academy of the Thundering Chorus became increasingly popular and accredited, and more and more students flocked to it in order to reap benefits from the prestige the academy now commanded. Engineers with licensure from the Academy of the Thundering Chorus secured better jobs than those without; firearm distributors came to demand ceritifcation from the academy as "proof" that the firearm would be properly used and taken care of. Not only that, but failing out of the Academy of the Thundering Chorus' courses for reasons relating to improper firearm conduct or broadly defined "violent intent" kept those who could not be trusted with a firearm under close watch, cutting down on firearm-related violence as time went on.
With the Academy of the Thundering Chorus' de facto legislation already governing day-to-day life as it pertained to firearms, it was a trivial matter for its rules to become written into the laws, and certification from the Academy of the Thundering Chorus eventually became mandated by law throughout several countries, not just its native Tumoria, for even possessing a firearm even within the military. Although the Academy of the Thundering Chorus eventually closed in the year 2703 just after the First Galactic War broke out, its influence can still be seen in its modern gun training course descendants; most Ealdremen gun training involves learning the engineering upkeep of firearms as well as how to use them, and such courses tend to emphasize maintaining grit in the face of danger -- the willpower to hold one's ground and remain courageous and to never succumb to terror, as the Academy of the Thundering Chorus' first tenet was that cowardice and fear is the source of all needless violence.
