Lodge Everflame

**Lodge Everflame** is one of the five Lodges of the Snowrose Academy and other academies in Gwynlynd. It represents the second stage of grief Victoire Wilona went through while mourning Reverie Beausomnia and was heavily influenced by Altara Revelian.

## Motto

Lodge Everflame's motto is **"I shall either find a way or make one"**, and clearly shows the courage and determination that's so typical for members of the Lodge. If there is one thing they collectively hate, it's giving up.

## History

The second stage of grief that Queen Victoire went through, was **Anger**. After denying what she knew to be true deep down for a while, she lashed out in anger at herself and the world because nothing was working and no matter what she did, Reverie wouldn't wake up. She spent a long time trying to release her anger somehow, eventually turning to physical exercise and combat as well as caring for animals and magical creatures.

## Subjects

### Beastology

Beastology teaches all about different animals and their role in nature and magic. Another big part of this magical area is the study of different magical creatures, their abilities and history as well as their relationship between each other and Gwynlyndians.

### Combat

Combat involves all kinds of physical activity such as sword fighting, fencing or archery, especially on how to use them to create balance in one’s soul and aura. Though less notable, another topic is the strategies behind physical combat and the peaceful handling of conflicts and arguments.
