The Dawn School

The Dawn School is located in the very center of the small town of Dawn on Sunrise Island.  Dawn owes it existence to the Dawn School and as such all life is centered on the school.  The school is a made up of five pointed, ivory-white, windowless towers.  The four smaller towers surround the larger fifth tower located in the middle.  The towers are smooth and cool to the touch with no visible entrance.  At night the towers radiate a faint light that illuminates the town.

The school, as well as the town, is run by Headmaster Killian Galforth, a human of unknown age.  Killian reportedly appeared on the island 10 years ago after the Mists pulled away.  A dazed and disheveled Killian wandered into the town looking for other survivors of the Starfinder Armada, of which he said he was the Head Sorcerer.  After finding out it had been over 200 years since the Starfinder Armada set sail Killian started acclimating himself to the current world and soon became Headmaster due to his extensive magically ability and knowledge of “forgotten” lore. 

The school charges nothing for its services other then the requirement of the student to help with the town militia.  The service gives the students plenty of chances to use their new found powers and abilities due to the large influx of “things” that are almost constantly attacking the town.  The classes are taught in a traditionally way with a teacher heading a class of several students.  The subjects cover all fields of sorcerer, some alchemy, and protection from necromancy and thaumaturgy.  Adepts, druids and priests are also welcome to study at the school if they are willing to help with the militia or help train the students on the differences in the way their magic works.

The school also has weekly “field trips” around the island itself.  Due to the ever changing nature of the island each field trip is unique and different.  The exception is the trips to the heart of volcano to study the powerful magical effect that protects Dawn.  Only the most advanced students are allowed to make this trip since they have the magical ability to withstand the powerful winds.
