Trowth Academy of Skilled Knowledge (TASK)

Trowth is a school loacted in the Demesne, somewhere in New England. It is about five times larger than Renasci, and its headmaster is Miss Emerson.

Similar to RAGS, Trowth color codes its "SR"s. Known colors are blue for Wave, red for Blaze, and yellow for Aurora. The other two colors are white and grey. The section head for Wave is Miss Kemprell, who lives in Eastwing.

The clue Celia found at this school was in the Headmaster's office, and said "Add up to three, keep going for more; Elpidapax, front hallway."

## Appearance

Trowth is comprised of a number of buildings, including a main building and a barn.

### Barn

The barn is the first thing one sees upon entering Trowth. It has a direct connection to the BUS station. It contains a number of stalls, and given the size of the horses that are meant to occupy them, one can conclude the stalls are also fairly large. The building is lit only by lanterns. The outside of the building is shingled and weathered with age so that it is a golden brown tone. It has white trim. The barn is hidden away from the main part of campus by an evergreen forest.

### Main Building

"Tall and large, the main building had a colonial style, rectangular boxes with evenly spaced windows, although everything was in a much larger scale. The siding was a ll pained white, the dark green shutters standing out in stark contrast. A single candle sat in each window of the the three-story structure, a welcoming sight on a cold, snowy evening. Two tall chimneys poked out of the pointed rooftops, one at either end of the main building, smoke curling upwards from each."

The main doors to this building open into a foyer. It contains the dining room and offices. It has wooded floors and copious artwork on the walls. There are insulated pathways between it and dorm buildings, so that one can go between without braving the cold.

#### Dining Room

The dining room takes up a quarter of the Main building's ground floor. It is filled with long rectangular tables that do not always run in the same direction. There are windows on one side of the room and a large stone fireplace on the other. Food is served family style, but there doesn't seem to be assigned seating or required attendance.

#### Library

The library takes up the entire second floor of the main building. Its lights are operated by a lightswitch at the door, which seems irresponsible of them. It is not as extensive as Renasci's, but is well known for its research it has about Night Vision. It, like most rooms at Trowth, it heated by a fireplace.

### Dorms

#### Eastwing

The eastwing is where Celia Fincastle, Maddie Hsnnagan, and Doxa Galeafa stayed during their visit. It contains Wave on the second floor. It is noted that the staircase in this building is creaky and candlelit. The Wave dorms are split by gender, with a common lounge and faculty dorms in the center. The building retains its vintage roots by leaving its wooden walls unpainted. The lounge area has iron chandeliers, comfy couches, and a fireplace. Celia and co. stay in a free room in the attic. Blaze dorms are found at the other end of Eastwing.

#### Westwing

Westwing is located opposite of Eastwing. It is probably architecturally the same. It houses the students of Spark and Aurora. The first-floor has the classrooms.

#### Annex

The occupants of Thunder had to be moved to a separate building because they were rowdy and loud. It is located to the right of Westwing It also has the gymnasium, which for Trowth is also used as a theater.

## Attendees

Known students include Marisol who says she "love[s] it."
