The Royal Green Dragon Academy

The Royal Green Dragon Academy, was once a Palace owned by a Duke of the nation of Uswon. Toby Greybeard eventually acquired it and converted it into a training centre for combat and the arcane arts.

History
Toby Greybeard, using his share of a great treasure he found, purchased the Palace of a dwarven Duke of Uswon, hoping to establish an academy of magic. Later, as other individuals joined his staff, the Academy expanded to teach other fields, including armed and unarmed combat and martial arts.

In 1171, the Magic Gods sensed that, due to the actions of Tharizdun, magic was slowly fading from the world. In order to preserve their magical strength, the gods created an orb, each storing a portion of their power within it. This orb was given to Toby Greybeard, a trusted Chosen of Mystra to protect. Greybeard hid the orb in a secret room in the academy.

Around 1453, the Academy fell under siege by a Fire Elemental that could assume human form. This attack was driven off by a small group of students, including Rose, Xendon, Ssssssss, Grub, and Clak'lak'sss. After fending off the attack, Rose discovered the secret room that contained the orb and claimed it, teleporting into a demiplane within the orb. Rose revealed the orb to Xendon, Ssssssss, and Grub, and they each in turn entered the demiplane, becoming chosen of the orb. Grub, after sneaking to a tavern in the nearby city of Mooncrest, drunkenly boasted of the orb to an agent of Blackthorne, who sent a Maw Demon to the academy to claim the orb and kill those it had chosen. After this attack, Rose, Xendon, Ssssssss, Grub, and Grog, fled the academy, beginning their journey to Heraldur, where they would deliver the orb to Karmiir Metalmace.

After defeating Blackthorne, the group of students returned to the Royal Green Dragon Academy in time for the First Snowfall of the Year.
