Education
Most people in the Kingdom of Borough cannot afford an education and therefore cannot read or write.
There are 3 major schools: The Crimson Academy that teaches a mix of martial arts, magic, and politics, with a focus on politics; Ironside Academy, that focuses on swordsmanship archery; and Heartseye Academy, that exclusively teaches magic. Once someone graduates from one of these schools, they go on to apprentice with a master in a specialized field. Once their master considers their training complete, the student then gains the title of master.
