====Abstract====
The characters have been admitted into one of the most exclusive and prestigious schools in the [[Ardemare]], the Academy of the Elemental Arts, or Aotea (AY-oh-TAY-uh) for short. They will attend the school as applicants, training for one year before they will be accepted into the school as fully fledged students. As students, they will select a discipline and learn the fundamentals of binding for that discipline. After three semesters of education, the first year students participate in a tournament between the six houses, where only the winning house become second year students. The tournament is interrupted before the final match by an attack on the academy by a mysterious force. After the calamity passes, the Masters decide to proceed with the tournament. The module ends with a graduation ritual for the victorious students
