Academy Building: The building where you'll be attending your classes and periods. It is a really big building with accommodation for upto 2000 students. The Foundation and Second Year courses will be studied on Floors 3 and 4 whereas the Third Year and Fourth Year courses will be taken in Floors 2 and 1 respectively. The University follows very strict rules and students found loitering around on floors without permission will be dealt with strictly.

Sky-Dormitories: This is where you'll be staying. The Sky Dormitories are a set of buildings hovering high above the Vanguard Academy campus by means of a very high form of Wind Magic. It has over 1000 rooms with accommodations for 2 students in one room. There is a common lounge where students can come and talk or discuss with each other. Meetings will be held in the Warden's Halls located on the top floor of the dormitories. There is a specific time for lights out after which no student should be found roaming around the halls. The mess is located adjacent to the dorms. Students are required to use the Portal Rooms provided in order to reach the campus ground although students who can fly may use their own conveyance.

Sparring Hall: This is where students can hold friendly duels to test out their mettle against each other. Fights are observed by supervisors and good fighters might even get recommendations. There are separate rooms for duels and team fights. You can challenge anyone and ask him to be at the hall at the appointed time.

Arena and Stadium(Open only from the Second year): The Stadium is the place where the Inter-house contests are held. The Arena on the other hand is somewhat risky because the contests held there hold no guarantee on your safety. Therefore it is not open to First years. You may however visit the Arena if accompanied by a Third or Fourth Year. Even a Tutor is acceptable.

Vanguard Woods: The woods located to the east of the Academy which were naturally existing in that area. Some part of the woods was taken in and made safe for students' purposes. A noteworthy fact is that the Woods are not cordoned off by means of any walls meaning a person may find themselves outside the campus should they go in too deep. Do remember that the jungle beyond campus territory is highly unsafe and is rumored to be home to a creature known only as The Beast. Capture-The-Flag tournaments are held in this very jungle.

The Great Library: Considered to be one of the two greatest libraries present in the World, this Library houses nearly every book on each and every topic that there is in this world. Students can come here during their free periods or after their classes to go through some books in peace. Students may even issue upto 3 books for a period of one week bu they must return or re-issue the books upon then failing which they can be fined. Strict silence is to be observed in the library.

Houses

Students will be asked to join either of the Academy Houses during the mid-semester period. Students upon joining will be open to certain privileges and Inter-House Competitions.

House of Valiants: You are brave, strong, and stalwart. You stand your ground when all have given up hope. This house features mostly Knights and Paladins. The House building is located next to the arena and sparring hall. This house is led by Aldron Earthshaker, a mammoth of a man.

Benefits of being in this House: Available trainers to expand on the basic techniques taught in Sword fighting training depending on what year student you are. A private training hall located in the basement of the House building. Also, private forges for students third year and up.

Accepted Students: None

House of Guidance: You are the wise, the intelligent, the logical. You think things through before acting. This house features mostly those preparing to be Alchemists, Sages, and Mages. The House building is a large tower outside of the academy walls, standing on the outskirts of the Vanguard Woods. You are lead by Archmage Eoren, a aberration that is bound to the tower.

Benefits of being in this House: A private alchemical lab, featuring everything a alchemist needs to create spells or potions. The lab also features many shelves neatly piled with different herbs and ingredients. Last but not least, a private enchanting hall, with many books specifying different runes and their effects.

Accepted Students: None

House of Pilgrims: There is no way to describe you with only a few words. You are brave when bravery is needed, and are not afraid to draw your blade, but do not go looking outright for fights, to the point where some would call you cowards. You are more spontaneous than those of Guidance, acting with instinct but also using caution when caution is needed. The largest of the three house buildings, the guild hall incorporates stone with nature, offering a quaint feel. The leader of this house is Ateron De’Tylmeran, a medium sized and well traveled man.

Benefits of being in this House: Training in miscellaneous activities, whether it be musical, storytelling, speechcraft, or something else that might be useful. The house also features a private library, including tomes that are unavailable in the Vanguard Library(and that's a very small possibility). Last but not least, it also features a large walk in closet, where there are large amounts of casual wear if one of the house's members wishes to change up their look or needs something to wear to a formal event.

Accepted Students: None

And there you have it. Note that any member can enter a House's building upon invitation from a active member of said house, but cannot access the special rooms like the alchemical lab or forge, save the closet. All students will still sleep in their respective dormitory, seeing as the buildings only feature living quarters for their House leaders.
