Masterpool

Masterpool is a city that is deeply rooted in knowledge and education. The culture of the city reflects this, as the people are generally very studious and intellectual. There is a great appreciation for learning and knowledge, and many people are drawn to the city for this reason. Masterpool is a city on an island in the center of a lake, home to the prestigious Masterpool Academy. House Masterpool rules over the city, acting as leading figures in the realms of knowledge and education. 

Masterpool is a relatively new city, being constructed after the War of the Fallen Angel. It was made to replace the Vallosian High Academy after it was lost. Originally the area was just the Masterpool Academy, but eventually a city developed around it. Despite its focus on education, the city is not without its charm. The narrow, winding streets and quaint wooden houses give it a cozy and inviting feel, and the frequent rains and fog only add to its charm. The lake that the city is situated on is also a major draw, providing both a beautiful view and a source of recreation for the residents.

At the northern end of the island lies the prestigious Masterpool Academy. The academy is a boarding school for the nobles, with nobles often sending their heirs to the academy to learn how to be a ruler. The academy does not offer anything like this for regular people, but rich people can come here as a college, to further develop their skills in a particular field.

One of the most common fields of study at Masterpool Academy is magic. People from all over come to the academy to try and learn magic, and almost everyone leaves disappointed. Learning magic is extremely difficult, requiring intense hours of study to learn the intricacies of even a basic spell, and most people just don't have the affinity for magic, regardless of their hard work and dedication. Because of the rarity of magic, those that are able to grasp the concept of magic and cast it are quickly met with very successful lives, often becoming researchers at the academy, delving into studying the mysteries of magic, trying to recover all that was lost in the Vallosian High Academy.

The academy itself is large, with two campuses. The first campus is smaller, and acts as the boarding school for nobles, and is sectioned off from the general public. The other campus is a large, stone castle that is not only for the students that attend it, but they offer a variety of service for the city. One of the most useful services they provide is the Masterpool library, which offers books on almost every subject, with knowledgeable historians working there ready to help. The Masterpool Academy interior is grand and confusing, with many additions being added on after it was built. Merlin Masterpool acts as the principal for the academy. The academy also offers a laboratory, an observatory, and gardens.

The people of Masterpool are devoted and intelligent people, often choosing to reside in Masterpool for access to the academy. A big part of the population are students that are attending the academy. One of the traditions of Masterpool is to host a fair every couple of years for scholars to showcase their findings and research and present them to the public.

There is a local legend that a monster resides in Lake Masterpool, and can be seen peeking its head out of the water when the fog is thick over the lake. Most people agree that this is nothing more than a myth.
