Ethereal Academy

Location of Ethereal Academy

**Ethereal Academy** is an academy/boarding school designed to instruct children with magical powers and abilities. The academy is also the primary setting for Attempt One and Two of the Ethereal Academy Roleplay in **The Friends We Made Along The Way** discord server. The Academy is a giant castle filled with many classrooms and corridors for students to learn and hangout in.

In Attempt One, staff and other students were not mentioned or displayed throughout the entire RP, they seemingly did not exist. In Attempt Two however there are many other students and staff, most notably Principal Curtis who was an immortal figure who was created by several other witches hundreds of years ago. Whenever he would die he would resurrect days later. However it is noted that he was not allowed to leave academy grounds or harm any students.

## History

The history of Ethereal Academy is vast and rich, however not much is known. The Academy was founded hundreds of years before the birth of Gwendolyn Shadowwalker in 1460. The Shadow Walkers had no affiliation with Ethereal Academy, however it is rumoured that the academy was created by a Shadow Walker because of the unique position the cauldron has in the courtyard which is in perfect view of the rare Lunar Eclipses which is used in an infamous spell done by Shadow Walkers.

During a summer centuries before the main story, Caroline Shadowwalker and the protagonists ancestors along with Gwendolyn Shadowwalker's immobilized corpse arrived at the academy in an effort to break the Lunar Eclipse curse on their immortality spell. They did this at the academy as they required the dark grimoire from the library. This did not go to plan and ended up with Gwen massacring the lot and daggering Caroline.

Shortly after, the sole ancestor that survived, Blair Axar, gathered a group of powerful of powerful witches to create Principal Curtis, who would protect the academy from evil with his ability to sense dark magic presence. He would never die due to immortality, in which he would rebirth in his office should his body ever be destroyed.

The Academy went smoothly from the centuries onwards having no major events occur, and in 1999 the protagonists of the story arrive and Gwendolyn Shadowwalker returns to break the curse. The current story is ongoing.
