Töfraakademían

The Töfraakademían, was an Arcane Higher Education school located in the Midgardian Mountains. It was a center for collecting knowledge and teaching young wizards the ancient crafts of magic, as well as place of research for new developments in the field of Arcane Science.

The academy was located in the highest peaks of Midgard, set before Mount Rakvelsi, the tallest peak in the realm. To reach the academy is a 6,500 step climb up the mountain, a journey which carries a spiritual symbolism for members of the Töfraakademían. Established around the 7000s, the Töfraakademían was considered to be one of the finest magical institutions in the nine realms.

The school's motto was Þekking Er Blaðið Sem Sagan Er Unnin Með., which, translated from it's ancient roots, means "Knowledge is the blade with which history is won".

## Description

The Töfraakademían was located at the peak of Mount Rakvelsi. It consisted of the Kastali Akademíunnar and the surrounding grounds. The actual campus was built within a crater, with the tallest reaches of the mountain towering above the campus like jagged walls. The grounds included open courtyards, vegetable patches, cattle farms, several greenhouses and other outbuildings and a full sized Arcane Arena.

The three highest towers in the Kastali were the North Tower, which hosted the Offices of the School Tutors and the High Master, the Astronomy Tower and the East Tower.

The castle was known for its many updates and changes in layout throughout the years. It should be noted that some rooms in the school tended to "move around" as the castle was accidentally made sentient by High Master Bjarne in the 7000s, and after an ethical debate, it was decided that it was morally wrong to take life away from it. The castle had been around for centuries, and consequently had a long history of ancient magic.

The school had numerous ancient runes and spells on and around it to safeguard it from danger. In addition to the fact that there were enchantments that prevented people from entering by stealth, it was also impossible for someone banned from the grounds to even recognize where it was, as the school was enchanted to make people forget the school's location, and lose interest in finding it whenever they were near.

## History

In the year 7834, a great wizard named Töfrur founded the Töfraakademían, a magic academy that would become one of the most prestigious and respected institutions of its kind in the realm of Midgard. Mount Rakvelsi, the tallest mountain in the land, was chosen as the location for the academy due to its remote and difficult-to-reach nature, as well as its powerful magical properties.

For many years, the Tofraakademían remained a small and relatively unknown institution, its students and faculty dedicated to the pursuit of magical knowledge and the mastery of their craft. However, as word of the academy's success and reputation began to spread throughout the realm, more and more young wizards and witches flocked to its doors, eager to learn from the best and become masters of their own magic.

Over time, the Töfraakademían grew in size and influence, and became known as the preeminent institution for magical learning and research in all of Midgard. Its halls were filled with the brightest minds in the land, and its libraries contained volumes of magical lore and arcane knowledge that were unparalleled in their depth and breadth.

Despite its great success, however, the Töfraakademían was not without its challenges. Over the centuries, it faced many threats from rival magic academies and hostile forces, both from within and without. But through the tireless efforts of its faculty and students, as well as the aid of powerful magical artifacts and allies, the academy persevered and continued to thrive.

Today, the Töfraakademían stands as a beacon of magical learning and excellence, a symbol of the great wizard Töfrur's vision and legacy. Its students and graduates are known throughout Midgard as some of the most skilled and knowledgeable magic users in the land, and its influence is felt in every corner of the realm. Though its future may be uncertain, one thing is certain - as long as the Töfraakademían stands atop Mount Rakvelsi, the power of magic will continue to grow and flourish in Midgard.

## School Spirit

The school's motto was Þekking Er Blaðið Sem Sagan Er Unnin Með., which, translated from it's ancient roots, means "Knowledge is the blade with which history is won". The Academy takes part in Arcane Combatant Arts, with a high percentage of the school population turning out to watch each match. The Academy also had a choir who sang as special occasions.

The school Coat of Arms was a white shield representing the purity of knowledge. In the center was a red band representing the academies location in Mount Rakvelsi's peaks, and three purple stars representing the three fundamental laws of magic.

## Administration

The highest position of staff at Töfraakademían was the High Master or High Mistress. There was also a Deputy High Master or High Mistress, who would take over responsibilities of the Headmaster should the circumstances demand it.
