Avalon
The Avalon School of Blood is a harsh school where the students learn the art of Blood Magic. Less than half of the already very small group of applicants graduate, not from just the difficulty of the course, but specifically the final exam. The students learn the magical art of sacrifice. The very first test, to prove their commitment is a ritual in which they sacrifice their non dominant hand to have it replaced with a specially designed metal hand that is capable of harnessing sacrificial energy. After at least two, but often more, years before they take a final exam. The exam consists of a team of two hunting a dangerous monster or finding their way through an uncharted territory for the purpose of study. It is expected that one of the students will die during the expedition, in which case the other student is expected to channel their life energy for their own magical powers. If neither student dies during the exam, they must fight to the death until one is able to sacrifice the other. Only when the mission is complete, and one student has channeled the other dead students life energy through them, can one graduate.

History
The school was founded on the concept of fighting the corruption through the massive power that comes from personal sacrifice. One of the instructors was Agatha before she united the other three Corrupted Invaders. Her daughter Sortiara later joined the school after countless years of training.
In the year 198 Asch Figthorn joined the school where within the year he was involved in a magical accident where several students lost their lives and he was afflicted with amnesia. In the year 201 he completed his examination to become a full fleged blood mage by sacrificing Sortiara after a long battle.
The school later participated in a mass ritual killing countless Psions and destroying a holy artifact, the Rippling Fiddle to cut a way through the Deridah to as of yet uncharted territory.
