This is the Millitary war academy, Basgiath. There's 4 quadrants Infantry, scribe, healers and most important, Dragon Riders. In the deadliest of them all, The Riders Quadrant, The weak die and the strong go to become dragon riders and fight for their country, Navarre. It has intense Classes and tests and only the best of the best will make it out alive.
There's intense tests like in the first year there's Interrogation which is an intense Interrogation process, The gauntlet a deadly obstacle course of the side of the mountain, And a secret test where they take away your connection to your dragon and you're powers and make you walk back to the academy with nothing but your map. And the final and most important one (for first years) is Threshing, where a dragon will choose you, if one doesn't you'll have to redo your first year. Your dragon and you will have a mental bond through which you can talk to each other and feel each other's emotions and the dragon can read your thoughts also your memories but you can't also block them out when you want. Most dragons are mated and you could possibly also have a mental bond with your dragon's mate and it's rider.
After a dragon chooses you, you get a signet mark on you and a signet power. There could be many signet types which depend on the rider, their family, themselves, their dragon and many more variables. Each rider and their dragon is different hence gets different powers. Signets take a while to spawn in after a dragon chooses you.
The regular classes include Battle Brief, History of Navarre potions and most importantly Sparring.
There's 3 years in Basgiath before you go on to be a lieutenant. And there's 4 wings and squads in the wings. There's squad leaders from second year and Wingleaders from third year.
You're waiting in the line for the parapet, the entry test where Already 40% of students die. You can see fellow new students waving goodbye to their parents and lots of students in the classic rider black climbing up the stairs.
