Only the Solomanari, the Rainmaker Society’s archwizard, may tame the beast. It is said that in the warrens below slumbers a dragon with scales forged from shadow, and whose rage-if the leviathan wakes-will quench the sun itself. Neither classes truly know where the estate stands, only that it is to the east of Mount Gries, far from the reach of the law. Amongst the common folk, it is a legend-a manor of obscene decadence ruled over by the Devil himself. Scholomance is an open secret-a known institute amongst the Borcan nobility, who seldom dare whisper its name. Those who triumph over this gauntlet are welcomed into the Rainmaker Society, a dark cabal that exerts great influence over the country. For seven years these students go without the sun, forced to remain in the warrens below the manor-and those that fail to graduate are not permitted to leave. Only the most depraved and desperate survive, overshadowed by the most wicked of pupils. No student can be admitted without a sponsor, whose absurd expectations can rarely be met. Most are chosen from Borca’s elite-from noble families, merchant guilds, or influential circles. Within this dark academy study students of wizardly descent. In the shadows of Mount Gries stands-in proud countenance-Scholomance, Borca’s institute of black magic.
