Almwitch Castle
Almwitch Castle, also known as the Headquarts of the Global Academy of Sorcery, is a magic school, an official headquarters, and the home of the Honored Headmaster.
Built between 3553 AA and 3549, it is a true marvel of engineering, stonecutting, and magic, and required the efforts of over six thousand workers, costing almost as much money as the then most expensive building in the world, the Capitol Dome of the Sixth Republic of the East.
Nowadays, it is the most prestigious school anyone could ever join, and many young aspiring mages hope to be part of the year's selection, and have the chance of meeting its great Headmaster, Mirthis Sanbur.
