The Twilight Academy
The Twilight Academy is an institution of higher learning, learning so high that those who teach it believe you need a sizable income and probably a letter of recommendation before they'll even consider you. Access to the Academy is highly restricted, and though it boasts one of the most diverse libraries in the world, it is accessible by only so much as 200 people at any one time. Many have cried for it's tomes to become public, to allow some outsiders to gain the library floor, but the Twilight Eyes insist that it alone retains the rights to approve entry. You might acquire a pass to use the library during certain hours, but the approval for such a pass is entirely at the discretion of the Eyes.
Just below the headmaster are the Professors organized into three levels:
After our teaching staff we find the students, close to the lowest rung, these are expected to learn and not much else. Until they can prove themselves worthy of graduation, they must remain quiet and studious at all times. Even those in the higher ranks are expected to behave with decorum at all times and often stifle the freedom of lesser students to gain some measure of control. They have four levels they fall into:
Organizational Structure
At the top sits the Headmaster, usually selected by the Watchers from among the most elite members of their order. He works to facilitate learning and adjudicate any disputes or punishments, as well as hiring or firing as necessary.Just below the headmaster are the Professors organized into three levels:
- Guarantors
- Advocators

Architecture
If you are lucky enough to find your way inside those hallowed halls, you'll find yourself in a grand facility. The entry hall extends cathedral-like up 4 floors, reaching its zenith in the glass floor of the Headmaster's office. Beyond the tower the building extends in three wings out from that center spire. The eastern wing is the Library, consumed entirely by books and the devices used to contain them or peruse them. The Northern Wing is dormitories and the offices and living quarters of the professors, as well as the cafeteria. The Western wing is home to all the lecture halls, the last one which takes up the space of a whole amphitheatre, capping the end of the hall. Each wing has 3 floors and access to the Headmaster's Suites, so he might visit upon any section at his leisure. Below all of this there are several floors of basements, some set aside for dangerous experiments or private meetings, some set aside for pantries and storage. Some of these basements are locked away or blocked by various means, presumably to seal away some dangerous creation the students of the Academy wrought.
