The Magic Academy exists in Kalijor as a large monolith on the western edge of the world, facing the Endless Ocean. The monolith is aproximately fifty feet on a side and has a square base with a single large door on its north face.
Inside the monolith is an enormous facility that is home at any given time to nearly five-thousand individuals. It is the home of most of the more powerful mages in Kalijor as well as the largest repository of written knowledge in the world.
As its name implies, the Magic Academy is where most mages and people who utilize magical incantations study their arts. This includes spell-swords as well, although their tenure is usually very short.
Admittance to the Magic Academy requires that individuals are attuned to the doorways. A process that can only be performed by one of the resident mages. Arrivals to the portal chamber will encounter a locked door similar to that in Cohai, however the residents are much quicker to respond.
The Academy is broken down into several levels, each of which requires a different level/type of attunement to be accessed, this allows people to be permitted entry to certain speciffic areas and kept out of others.
The academy library, known throughout kalijor as 'the great library' is also divided into several levels, all on the upper floors of the academy and the content becomes more and more sensitive as one climbs higher in the academy, with the topmost level being restricted to all but a handful of individuals in the entire world.
The Magic Academy is guarded on every level and at every entrance/exit by extremely powerful Mages and Spell-Swords that will not hesitate to enforce order should issues arise.
