Lodge Evergrace

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

## Motto

Lodge Evergrace's motto is **"The end of life but not of love"**, and is a representation of the importance of love to the members of Lodge Evergrace. They believe that even when someone dies, that doesn't mean that the love for them is lost.

## History

The third stage of grief that Queen Victoire went through, was **Bargaining**. She was already subconsciously aware that there was nothing to be done to save Reverie and she knew that she should've started to feel the grief, but instead she kept telling herself that everything would be fine. Instead of dealing with her feelings, she suppressed them and put up a façade to hide them. She clung to possessions left behind by Reverie and the only thing she did to deal with her feelings, was using healing crystals.

## Subjects

### Artifacts

The first Evergrace-specific subject is Artifice. In this subject, students learn about the creation of objects with any kind of magical properties. Often this involves the enchantment of already existing objects through willpower and intent, but in some cases the actual creation of the object may also be involved in the process. However, artifacts is also about the correct usage of any pre-existing magical artifacts.
