History
The Central Hub and Commerce
The Hub serves as the school's heartbeat, featuring a drugstore stocked with essentials from health potions to daily care items like diapers for the nursery and incontinence supplies. It also houses a boutique for school uniforms and a counseling center where students can seek guidance in a private, comfortable setting.
The Great Oak of Prayer
The ancient tree at the center of the campus is more than a landmark. Its bark is thick with stuffed toys and colorful ribbons tied by children seeking good luck. Damaging the tree is the only offense that results in immediate expulsion. The tree acts as a natural ward against minor spirits, keeping the campus grounds preternaturally calm.
Student-Led Services
The Saltwater Bistro and the Snack Bar are staffed by students under staff supervision. This provides practical vocational training and allows the school to be largely self-sufficient. The food quality is exceptionally high, often attracting residents from the town for weekend meals.
