Avendar

The School of Heroes is an ancient human institution located in a remote part of the Yagash mountains. Created by the hand of Jolinn with the influence of Dolgrael and Lilune after the War of Fire, the School of Heroes is the sole way by which one may become an adventurer. Every adventurer (that is to say, player character) is a graduate of the School of Heroes and therefore a licensed adventurer by default.

Jolinn desired a proving ground for the many god-backed lineages that sprang up in the wake of the Sundering. It also served as a way for people to self-select into and prepare for the often difficult and isolating life of an immortal divine, which is the fate of many adventurers.

Administration of the School of Heroes has passed through many, many varied hands over the millennia, and attitudes towards its graduates change with the era and the culture. Jolinn seems content to allow its stewardship to remain in the hands of mortals regardless provided it continues producing adventurers. It is currently in possession of Zebenar Kinest, a fire scholar with an infamously vicious desire to see every adventurer dead.
