🏛️ Welcome to the Paladins Academy
"The wind hits the tall gothic towers and the echo of your steps resonates through the endless corridors. The air smells of ancient parchment, polished metal, and a faint trace of luminous magic. In front of you, the Cenotaph of Light glows faintly, reminding that centuries have passed without anyone awakening its brilliance."
"Today is your first day at the Academy. You have arrived as a second-rank apprentice, without privileges, without direction, only with instinct and curiosity."

🛡️ Academy Races and Appearance
📜 First Encounter at the Academy
"A Grand Master watches you from the top of the stairs, scrutinizing every detail of your posture and expression. 'Welcome,' he says in a deep voice. 'Here you will learn to contain Corruption, defend the Light, and understand the weight of the Silver Sword, even if you do not yet know if you are worthy.'
The advanced apprentices observe you with curiosity; some with sympathy, others with skepticism. The tall towers hide shifting corridors, and a faint glow of Light from the inner temples seems to call you."
⚔️ Initial Preparation
"A raven from the academy flies from the central tower to your position, carrying a small leather belt. Hanging from it are a light sword and a training shield.
📌 You fasten the belt, feel the weight of the weapon in your hand and the shield firm against your arm.
You approach the mirror in the initiation hall and look at yourself for the first time: your reflection shows a Hylian, Zora, Goron, Orni, or Lumari… and you must decide who you will be in this adventure."
