Introduction
Ipsa scientia potestas est
Welcome, one and all, to Boros Academy!
Hello! Welcome to the place where we accept students of all races, color, shape, size, form, species, magical affinity, dimensional-residence, and otherwise! We here at Boros Academy believe in equal opportunity and accept all students as long as they meet the requirements! We do not accept applications however, and will contact you if we find that you meet the necessary standards. This Academy is a very prestigious one and we'd like to keep it that way.
If you weren't aware, we train students in the art of protecting themselves from 'supernatural' danger. We keep the world's use of magic healthy and help people learn the ins and outs of it. Not just our Academy, mind you, but the whole 'magical' community. Do be aware however, that magic is not what you imagine it to be like. Magic is, by us, considered to be a science. We wish for you understand that and take into consideration that what we do not understand controls us. We will, to the best of our ability, give you an understanding of 'magic' on a systematic level. Back to the main point. We here at Boros Academy wish to teach you to use your soon-to-be-acquired skills to help keep the world under control.
Here at the Academy, you will also learn about…
These creatures are the true monsters. They are beings similar to the fantasies of Howards Phillips Lovecraft himself. They inspire horrendous thoughts into the minds of creatures, especially humans. They are the real reason we've been around. They are the creatures we were created to fight. They are g͕͎̠̺̤ò͇̥͍̺̻̳̘d̛ș̟͈̙̝͠, dwarfing the gods of our planet in both power and size. We, the members of our community, are the first and last defense against these monstrous beings.
The school term starts on the Fifth of September. If you wish to accept this invitation, then attach your reply clearly saying so to this letter and burn both in a fire. Do not be alarmed if you happen to notice an appendage, head, antenna, or otherwise through the fire. This is simply one of our workers getting your mail. If this apparition however, attempts to kill you, then you messed up and we will not be held accountable for any damage done on you, your eternal soul, or otherwise. Any attempts to reply to this letter are, by us, seen as an acceptance of this possibility.
We hope to see you, young magician/demigod(des,ect,ect)/vaguely humanoid collection of molecules/non-humanoid being/young god(des,ect,ect)/otherwise, soon!
~ Damien, Headmaster
P.S. a list of all required items have been attached to this letter. If financial assistance is required, contact us at 534-324-4300
The world is not as it seems.
Then again, that should be obvious enough. There have been sightings of fantastical creatures throughout history, describing many of the beings that actually do exist. Most of the creatures that we call monsters, however, have their own problems to worry about and would much rather not bother dealing with a human hunting them. It's not that nice to stereotype, either, mind you.
Regardless, there are real monsters out there. Monsters that can very well be called monsters. Monsters that are feared by nearly all races, species, and the such on Earth. Amorphous creatures from the deepest corners of space, with appearances of the most horrendous kind. Luckily enough, the larger of these aforementioned monsters are unable to directly reach us, for one reason or another. They're minions however, which are nothing to scoff at, are able to reach us.
That's where the exorcist community comes in. They remove the presences of these beings, using one of three disciplines. The first, Paec, revolves around the use of 'magic' to fight other beings. This discipline, while the most versatile of the three, takes a lot of effort to learn. The second, Phis, revolves around the use of physical means to fight other beings. This discipline, while powerful, takes a lot of commitment to take upon one's self. The last, Multa, is a combination of the two aforementioned ones and the discipline taught at Boros Academy.
