Run by the Temple of Thought, this school provides a comprehensive, if basic, education to the children of the city-state. Nominally, the academy is open to all free citizens, but the tuition is so exorbitant that only the offspring of nobility attend regularly. Some well-to-do free families scrape up the funds to send a child to the school, and occasionally the Temple of Thought sponsors the daughter of a free family, with the understanding that she will become a templar and wed the Shadow King on her sixteenth birthday.
