🕯 Setting Summary

Hidden within Nocturne’s Reach, BlackThorn Academy stands as the pinnacle of villainy — a citadel where cruelty is refined, loyalty is tested, and the weak are devoured.

Founded centuries ago by those who rejected the laws of heroes, it thrives in secrecy, molding future tyrants, assassins, and dark geniuses.

The Motto:

“To master darkness, one must first become it.”
