→ A.R.U.M.S. (Avalan Royal University of Magic and Swordsmanship)
A prestigious university founded hundreds of years ago by Sylvanus II, an early King of Avalas. Don't let its name fool you, for all students are not only instructed in the art of war or magic, but also in the academics and the arts. It is one of the Four Great Schools of Syrunn. Avalan royalty and nobility attend the school, along with those who come from families rich enough to pay tuition, which is rather steep indeed, but well worth it to those who can afford it: Those who have gone on to become Kings and Queens, Lords and Ladies, brave and noble Knights, or wise and powerful Mages... the school has taught them all throughout its long history. The school accepts students no younger then 15 and no older then 21, but they must pass an intense physical and/or magical aptitude test, in addition to a written test on various academic subjects. A note on the area of the Aorin Forest the school has blocked off. It is further divided into five smaller sections. Through magical means, the terrain and climate of any or all of the sections can, and often is, altered to suit the needs of a particular test or training exercise.
