Armande de Falstaff signs the pact on behalf of his Emperor, pleased with the productivity of the meeting in Korvassa.

Armande glosses over the letter as he returns from his diplomatic mission in Korvassa, quickly heading to Novellen to meet the Emperor. “Sixty years, hundreds of lives lost, and de Falstaff a shell of the family we once were. The strife won’t be forgotten, but now Leuven is whole.” The Vice Chancellor quips before leaving the capital, setting out to find his wife and children to share the news.

Armande glosses over the edict whilst finishing his morning caldo verde shipped in from his good friends of the de Antunyes-Rutledge household. “It is a wonder truly... my son is more literate than me at the age of eight!” He quips with a pucker of his lips, folding the parchment away in his dossier of manuscripts.

Armande smiles the sun’s smile, impressed with the swiftness of the meditation and delighted to see a fair resolution to the civil debacle.

Armande would remind the King of the bountiful soil that lay asunder the red city and that salting fair Leuven green would be a most heinous act.

Armande prepares a list of armaments for the upcoming campaign in the sewers, happy to have the dwed pounding steel for the guild.

The Academy of Saint Catherine is an institution founded by the Late Queen-Mother Maya of Muldav. The purpose of the academy is to offer a broad range of studies to those willing to learn. There are a plethora of courses available, including but not limited to; Haeseni culture, etiquette, and history, anthropology, histories of the neighboring human realms and many more.. The Academy is a tutor-based system, for one-on-one or small classroom education to provide easier learning spaces for children to young adults across the empire. Concentrations in the three main studies may be provided in tutoring upon request. Outside the core studies, extracurricular classes are offered such as field work, creative writing, fencing, and swordsmanship. These classes will be limited depending on employment numbers in regards to tutors. Students who are studying abroad are welcomed to stay within the facility’s dorms. The academy resides within the new expansion, across from the city’s chapel. Applying to the Academy All interested students must schedule a meeting with the Headmaster Armande de Falstaff, or one of the tutors employed under him. There is no age restriction upon applying, however, if over 16 and not involved in some form of Haense department (military, stewardry, court, etc) there will be a processing fee upon enrollment. Up to 3 subjects can be chosen per student. This includes extracurricular studies such as music and combat. One must be a common study. Students may change their courses after every two years. Common Studies Culture Culture, as a common study, is a generalization of the people of Haense and their customs, traditions, and more. Tutoring will go over Haeseni holidays, daily life, games, and cuisine. A brief understanding of the New Marian language will also be provided, to allow students to know basic greetings, dates, and phrases. How culture has changed and been affected over the years will also be a major focus point of tutoring. Etiquette Etiquette, as a common study, is a generalization of the etiquette of Haense and the mannerisms within it. Tutoring will go over the current Haeseni etiquette, as well as past courtly etiquette in Queen Milena’s Court, which emphasized opulence, and the traditionalism bolstered by her premiere Grand Lady, Princess Sofiya Theodosia. Briefly, the common study will touch on and compare mannerisms and etiquette of other nations. In addition, beautifying one’s penmanship will be focused on within the study. History In the past the varying courses surrounding history were limited to Haense specialization. In the new rendition of the academy the courses offered in this field have been expanded to envelope all human realms, past or present. Courses on the various monarchs throughout humanity will be available, and given priority. There will still be courses pertaining to Haenseni history and all things relevant to it. Anthropology The study of descendant cultures and advancements, not to be pigeon-holed in specific Haense cultural advancements. Studies envelop the entirety of the realm, as well as various subcourses involving specific race and subrace history. Common Concentrations Those desiring a concentration will receive tutoring as a focus in that particular study, not as a generalization. For example, a student with a history concentration in Queens of Haense will not learn about Kings of Haense. Generalizations of Haeseni history will only be taught if no concentration is requested. Only one concentration can be requested per study per two years. You can choose to have a concentration in all three studies, but may not choose multiple concentrations within each study.

Specific instruments can be taught to students upon request. However, both treble and bass clefs in sheet music will be taught regardless – as well as scales on the pianoforte. Botany Courses in botany are open to be taught upon request. Students will receive an intrinsic experience in the study of plantlife, as the Academy provides its own private gardens with varying plants across Arcas. Those within the tutoring will also be taken out to, and taught by, the waterside and greenery near Lake Milena to garner practice hands-on within the world and outside of the academy’s facility. Fine Arts Fine arts are intrinsic within the realm of Haeseni education, the Kingdom itself boasting reputable many artists.
