Former academist and mercenary who, after having finished his studies, did not wish at all to enlist and go to war. But events took a different turn for him. Civil war erupted, and he was left with two choices. Either take up arms under the flag of the Academy, or be branded a dissident and an enemy.

The mysterious East lives separated from the other continents. Very few can even see into its affairs, and even less have any say in them. Its cities are inhabited primarily by humans and kines and ruled by the Empress, of whom little is known, but to whom many attribute preternatural, magical powers. She’s the sole ruler of the East, whose person only does nothing to dispel the veil of mysticism wove around the old continent. Some even claim that her connection to the Creator of Erah is the closest in the whole world.

The North has been ruled by three royal families for centuries. Of these three, the Kovach-dynasty is the most powerful, most prosperous. But due to the sudden passing of one of the Three Kings, Isaac Farkas, the fate of the continent became uncertain. As an important matter of historical purport, the succession draws attention from all around Erah. Who will inherit the third throne? Will one of the lesser clans gain power and influence? Or will it be Lazlo and his father August who will rule the North, overwhelming the third king? Speculations and schemes in the courts are abundant, but apparently, Lazlo is not interested in northern politics. Instead, he chooses the life of an Academist scholar.

The Bishop family only gained its wealth recently, by building their enterprise on the relatively new plock technology. It was little wonder that other families, ones with long-established prestige, looked down at the newcomers with jealousy and greed. The Bishops decided it was best for their daughter, Shannah, to study at the Academy, far away from the often troublesome and straining family enterprise. The knowledge she gains there will be for her own benefit. Will the quiet girl be successful in the Academy?

A young girl enthused about nature in any form. Takes learning to heart. Has a desire to experience and know about anything and everything she can. However, as open and excited she is about learning, as reticent she is among other people. Will hear good heart and helpful personality be enough to find friends and form relationships?

Scion of a noble family, a family that has little left of their past power and wealth aside from the prestige their name carries. Jealous and overbearing by nature, they try to subdue any and all talented youngsters who may pose a threat to their position and influence. Greatest amongs the Irvings’ rivals are the Bishops, both in a political and philosophical sense. The former follow conservative views, set grimly against change and innovation, while the latter follow the principles of free progress. As the Irving mindset is strong within Lilith, friction with other students seems difficult to avoid.

The forever stubborn Chays deliberately seeks trouble and conflict. An old acquaintance to Lilith, he hung about her because she would always wind up in feuds, thus able to satisfy his thirst for such. During the years, their relationship has grown into a firm friendship and now, Chays stands by Lilith even what she considers is madness. To Chays, perhaps Lilith is the only person whom he could ever honestly trust.

Keila hails from a small village of hunters where folk are trained mainly in fighting and archery. Her father yearned for a son but his wife gave birth to a daughter instead. Still, he found no trouble in raising Keila as if she had been a boy and taught her everything he knew of the trades of his people. Keila, having been shaped roughly by her father's manners, wanted to step outside the tight-shut hunter's community and saw studying at the far-away Academy as the means to do so.

A young boy who dreams about becoming an extraordinarily skilled warrior, a champion of the Academy. His determination is the sole redeeming quality to his numerous flaws, however. He clumsily stumbles around and finds it difficult to grasp the fundamentals of a warrior-scholar student’s life. Despite all of this, he refuses to give up and will go to any length to fulfill his dream.

Jairyth is a little different than the others, being a third-year classman at the Academy, with a bundle of experience all the others may find useful. Any extraordinary girl possessing surpassing talent and abilities, a feat few have ever achieved. It is not by accident she gained the rank of an Academy champion in the previous year.

A sauri warlord in the service of the ruler of South, one of the possible successors to the royal throne beside the son of the king, Prince Hanu. But apparently, this is another succession that will not go smoothly. Border skirmishes warn of the threat of war, the prince has mysteriously disappeared and the king is unable to have him found. What can a single sauri do in such times to protect his homeland?

Wajas are four-legged animals that come in various sizes, colors and fur lengths. They are very intelligent and empathic, can be easily domesticated and taught to perform a variety of tasks. Often times, they turn out to be man's best friend.
