The continent of Valenia, or the Mythic Dome as others call it. It is home to many, many races, but three stand out from the others. To the north, protected by the Iriden Mountains, lies the United Human Kingdoms, home to the Dragonlance royal family (along with many others). South of the United Kingdoms are the Mirklands. Home to the entire assortment of elves. And lying outside of the main continent of Valenia, is an island chain (bearing west) called The Izmol Conglomerate, home to the Anima-Iht, or most commonly known as the Animal-Shifters.
These three races have battled long before anyone can remember. Blood has been spilled on all sides of the Never-Ending War. But something changed…

Through the winds of time, people forget why they were fighting, some even lost the will to fight. On the largest peak on Valenia, known simply as “The Peak”, the three main races, along with representatives of all other neutral races (such as the Naiads and the Thunderbirds), made history. They signed the Ending Pact, bringing the Never-Ending War to its conclusion. 

With the Ending Pact made, there were countermeasures made to stop another Never-Ending War. One of them was the Grand Council. This creation was the brainchild of William Othello of the Human Kingdom known as Erstgard. Othello was not a warmonger, but a known pacifist. With the creation of the Grand Council, all races had a voice in the world, and wars would have to be made publicly known in the council before made into fruition, as surprise attacks and hate wars were made continentally illegal through the passing of the Ending Pact.
Though Othello already made his impact on this world in a positive way, he still had one more brainchild. The Erstwhile Academy. The academy itself was built on the same peak where the Ending Pact was famously signed fifty years ago. It took ten years to build, but once it came to life, it was unlike anything anyone has ever seen.

The grand white arches and royal indigo roofs resembled something only the great royalty have seen. The academy was to be the next step towards peace. A select few of outstanding citizens from each race would be chosen by their leaders. Then they would be sent to neutral territory to display their wit, might, or intelligence. There they will be either chosen to attend Erstwhile Academy or be sent home. 
Those in Erstwhile are future leaders, politicians, warriors, generals, wizards, professors, or anything of that caliber. They have big expectations in place for them, but the rewards will be extraordinary once they graduate. 

Erstwhile Academy is split up into three “Domiciles”, if you will. Each domicile is a generalization of what career you want to pursue. For the future leaders, there is Domicile Princeps. For the warriors and strategists, there is Domicile Bellator. And for the wizards, professors, or the intelligent kind, there is Domicile Divinos. These three Domiciles work hand in hand to ensure the future of Valenia is bright and prosperous.
