The Veiled Attic

Hidden along the dusty rafters of Stormkeep Castle’s longest attic, The Veiled Attic is the clandestine heart of a magical resistance. Disguised as storage and servants’ quarters by day, it transforms at night into a school and sanctuary where rebels from all walks hone elemental and arcane abilities, plotting to reclaim their kingdom from tyranny.
