Academy of Saints and Greats||Song of the Shrike

The Academy of Saints and Great Ones is an elite educational institution where the children of influential people in our society—purebloods—study. Many dream of attending, but unfortunately, not everyone has the money or the necessary level of dark matter.

To enter the Academy you must: *

• pass the exam to determine the level of dark matter;
• provide three letters of recommendation from purebloods, if you are a half-blood (it is impossible for a lower-ranking person to pass the exam);
• pay for tuition.

• The Academy has strict rules and a hierarchy: *

• Students are required to maintain good manners and keep distance between houses;
• Students are required to show respect to their elders, teachers, and each other.
• Any form of violence, deception, or humiliation is prohibited.
• Each day begins and ends with prayer or a spiritual ritual.
• Classes alternate with practical exercises: meditation, martial arts, study of ancient texts.
• Annual ceremonies initiating new students into the Academy community.
• Veneration of saints and great ancestors with the performance of memorial rites.
• The tradition of passing on knowledge through oral tales and written manuscripts.
• Students wear a strict uniform of their house with symbols of the Academy.
