This is the part of the Academy dedicated to personal rooms for its residents. Some students live in cities with portals to the Academy and therefore go back home every night, but other students don't have anywhere else to stay.

This is where lessons are supposed to take place. Students aren't technically forced to attend class, as they're expected to decide for themselves what studies are important for their aims. The classes are all taught with a focus on practical skills that might be useful for students struggling against each other out in the multiverse.

All the miscellaneous functions of the Academy are located here. However, there's a bedtime curfew in effect, so students who want to use these facilities at night will be in violation of the rules. Nighttime excursions always come at the risk of being ambushed by a staff member or another paranoid student.

These are the parts of the Academy where students are not allowed to go. The doors to these areas are locked, but most mages have some way of dealing with that. The real obstacle is that there are no maps to navigate with, and it's only a matter of time until one encounters a staff member or other student and a fight breaks out.

Humanity is beginning to grow into a single worldwide civilization. Culture and technology transcend national borders. The world is ruled by the global financial elite. The existence of magic is known or suspected by a few well-connected people, but the information is suppressed due to fears of widespread chaos.

New frontiers of learning are opening every year. European scholars have begun to rediscover and improve upon the works of the ancient philosophers. Explorers are mapping the Atlantic and will soon connect the New World to the Old. However, the common people remain superstitious and ignorant, which has allowed some mages to easily carve out their own fiefdoms.
