The Academy Chrysalis
![]() |
Explore the ruins of a magical school tucked deep within the forest.
The Academy was once on the verge of discovering magic that could pierce reality. To protect its hard-earned knowledge from the outside world the school sealed itself within an immense¸ opalescent bubble¸ waiting for the day when it could unveil the culmination of its progress.
But that day never came¸
and the school was left to molder
within its impenetrable cocoon.
