Boarding School Recommendation:
Şolomanţă
LAST UPDATED: 20 January 2019
A private academy of black magic sanctioned by the Devil himself, the Scholomance was founded in 666 BC. The school enrolls 7, 10, or 13 pupils each year to become the Solomonari. Students are selected from a global pool of applicants. Admission is very difficult to achieve. There is not a more selective school for wizardry and dark arts anywhere in the world.
Course taught to primary students include alchemy, demonology (demonic study, summoning, and language mastery), Dovahzul (language of the Dragons), Latin, magical naturalism, maleficium (magic intended to cause harm or death to people or property), necromancy (death magic), occultism (rituals and rites), Runic, sanguine scientiem (blood magic), theurgy (god study, rites and rituals), Vila (languages of the Veela), and weather witching. Mastery of basic practical magics including charms, potionology, and transfiguration is required by fifth year.
The duration of primary study is 7 years or 9 years, and the final assignment for graduation requires the copying of one's entire knowledge of humanity into a "Solomonar's book". Students are required to remain underground without any sunlight for the 7-year duration of their training.
Each year, the best student of the graduating class is chosen by the Devil or his Chancellor (the Headmaster of the school) to be the Weather-maker. While this title remains with the recipient for all of his or her life, the duty of serving as weather-maker lasts for one year. During this year, the weather-maker resides within the Sanctuary. He or she has no contact with the outside world.
The entrance to the school is found in a massive graveyard in Transylvania. Appearing as a family crypt, the entrance is guarded on all sided by five gargoyles positioned at the points of a pentagram. Each gargoyle is unique and representative of an element: air, earth, fire, spirit, and water. Mastery and manipulation of these elements are taught within the school.
When entering the school, a long staircase takes you past a great number of tombs encased in black marble. These are chancellors and weathermakers. To pass from the crypt into the school itself, you must cross a narrow bridge. The journey is harrowing. There is nothing to keep you from falling off either side. Apparition and all magic is suppressed here. Inferi charmed by the devil himself await in the darkness below you. Only faith and dedication to the one true Dark Lord will grant you safe passage across this entryway.
Two demons stand guard silent and still as gargoyles at a menacing wrought metal black door. If you safely traverse the bridge, the door will open to you. A grand black marble staircase leads you down into The Reliquary. The wide and deep chamber acts as library and museum. Filled with dark artifacts and texts, this is where all student research takes place. Double doors on either side of the room give access to staircases that will take the students down further into the depths of the earth.
The second floor is known as the Upper Sanctums. This contains the Hall of Illusions (used for practicals), Chamber of Summoning (used for both god and demon summoning lessons), the Viewing Room (used for lectures), the Necromancers's Sanctum (used for necromancy lessons and experimentation), the Laboratory (used for alchemy and potionology lessons and experimentation).
The third floor is referred to as the Lower Sanctums. Here a large circular common area acts as a focal point for socialization and collaboration. A pentagram is formed on the floor, each point directed at a hall way. Each hallway contains classrooms suitable to the small class sizes the school is known for. Each hallway contains exactly seven chambers: six classrooms and one dormitory. These dormitories are unisex. Students remain in the same dormitory for the first five years of their studies.
In their sixth year, students are finally permitted to descend to the fourth floor of the school. Here, as above, the stairwells lead you to the open circular common area. However here, only three hallways exit the space. A runic symbol marks each hallway. The first bears the mark for blood. This is the Odal rune (ᛟ). Students who reside in this hall are Master Necromancers, Alchemists, and Potioneers. The second bears the mark for water. This is the Laguz rune (ᛚ), Students who reside in this hall seek mastery over the weather and the elements. The third bears the mark for chaos. This is the Halglaz rune (ᚻ). Students who reside in this hall are theurgists and demonologists eager to commune with gods and demons alike.
Students attending the Scholomance after completing their primary education elsewhere also reside in these halls. Each student--be they primary or secondary--receives a private residence comprised of two rooms: bedroom and study. Private lessons are also provisioned weekly for students in their study chambers to ensure they are able to achieve the mastery of knowledge they seek at the Scholomance.
There is one more level of to the school. It is visited only by the Chancellor and the Weather-Maker. This is known only as the Sanctuary. It is said this is where those chosen are able to commune with the Devil.
