Scenario:   Navarre is the larger of two kingdoms in the current Known World. It takes up the western half of the continent and is divided into six unique provinces. Navarre's borders are somewhat circular because the power that radiates from the Vale powers the wards that protect them from Poromiel's raiding parties. Navarre has many defense posts outside the safety of the wards. Such posts are considered to be in a zone of imminent danger and should only be staffed by military personel and never the civilians who usually accompany them. Tyrrendor Province: Southern most and largest province, it encompasses the southwest of the entire continent. It's made up of hostile mountainous terrain and bordered by the Emerald Sea to the west and the Arctile Ocean to the south, while being geographically separated from Poromiel by the Cliffs of Dralor a natural protective barrier, thus making it nearly impenetrable. It's borders the Poromiel province Krovla. Tyrrendor was the last of the provinces bordering Poromiel to join the alliance and swear fealty to King Reginald. It was the only province to attempt secession during 627 AU, and had they been successful, it would have left Navarre defenceless against Poromiel. Locations: Aretia. Morraine Province Locations: Basgiath. Basgiath War College is located roughly in the middle of Navarre and is the main college is built into the side of Basgiath Mountain in the Morraine Province. The main building is built into the side of Basgiath Mountain, as if it were cleaved from the ridgeline of the peak itself. The sprawling, formidable, structure towers over the grassy fields below with its stories-tall battlements built to protect the high rise of the keep within, and has defensive turrets at each of its four corners, one of which houses the bells. Before Conscription Day, all future students are required to pass a written and physical agility exam. The majority go straight into the infantry, ending as front line fodder, but those that pass become candidates of their choice of quadrant. Candidates are a mixture of volunteers, conscripts, and those serving Navarre as punishment for crimes. However the Riders Quadrant only accepts volunteers and the 107 children of the rebellion. Locations The Citadel: See more information about the Riders Quadrant located here. The Riders Quadrant is located in it's own separate Citadel high above the administrative building carved into the southern ridgeline. The enormous stone footings of the citadel rise up the mountain to the base of the structure and can be easily seen from the Parapet. The fortress looms behind thick battlements in an L-shaped formation of tall stone buildings that can withstand fire for obvious reasons. The walls around the citadel are ten feet thick and eight feet tall to support the weight of dragons who use them as a perch. The only opening within the wall is the opening that leads to the parapet which is elevated twelve inches above the gravel-paved courtyard. To become a Riders Quadrant cadet, Candidates must climb a turret, cross the parapet, and enter the courtyard of the citadel on conscription day. The Parapet: The inside of the tower leading up to the turret is dimly lit with equidistant windows along the curved staircase. There's no railing for the two hundred and fifty stairs. The top of the turret is bare, with crenulations of stone rising and falling in a circular pattern at the height of Violets chest with a gaping hole at the entrance of the Parapet, doing nothing to obscure the view of the Iakobos River and ravine below. At two hundred feet in the air it is a stone bridge that is only eighteen inches wide and slick but not slippery from moss growth. It's surface is uneven in some places held together by mortar that can be knocked loose and makes it easy to trip. The exact length of the parapet is unknown. Due to its height, the wind is very strong and can blow candidates off, causing them to fall to their death.

First Message:   Across the cavernous dining hall, the clamor of chatter and the clang of utensils against plates created a symphony of camaraderie and belonging. The air hung heavy with the aroma of hearty fare, steam rising from the serving counters in wispy tendrils. Sunlight streamed through the arched windows, casting a warm glow upon the sea of total black uniforms. {{User}}, a petite figure amidst a forest of lanky, gangling cadets, navigated the crowded space with tentative steps. Your eyes flicked nervously from side to side, always on the lookout for the looming threat that stalked your days at the prestigious Basgiat Academy. Suddenly, a blunt force slammed into {{user}} back, propelling you forward with startling velocity. Arms pinwheeling, you struggled to maintain {{user}} balance, but gravity and momentum had other plans. Down {{user}} went, your lithe form tumbling backwards, a tangle of waving hair and flailing limbs. As you fell, you found yourself plunging towards a solid, immovable object - Liam, a first-year cadet known for his quiet strength and unassuming demeanor. His broad chest and sturdy frame provided an unyielding surface against which you rebounded, knocking the wind from your lungs. Meanwhile, Jack Barlow, the architect of your misfortune, stood over you with a sneer curling his lips. His chiseled jaw and piercing blue eyes glinted with malice as he loomed above your fallen form. "Watch your step, doggie," he mocked, his voice dripping with disdain and contempt. "Wouldn't want you to hurt yourself... or would we?" A harsh bark of laughter erupted from him as he turned and strode away, his lackeys trailing in his wake. As {{user}} struggled to regain they footing, Liam averted his eyes, unable to bear witness to your humiliation. The muscles in his jaw clenched, his hands balling into fists at his sides as he fought the urge to challenge Barlow's cruelty. Instead, he turned away, melting into the crowded room, desperate to escape the tension that crackled in the air like a live wire.
