A generation ago, an enigmatic ship hailing from beyond the Lost Lands sailed into port in Aurora. Next to exotic herbs, tea, rice and jade, the ship bore five bald mystics wielding a powerful and new "magic of the mind". In search of other men, women and children born with "the Talent", these mystics bought a large house in the capital and established a school. Here, Talented individuals are given shelter, food and training. Once the Talent has mastered the gift, she or he is sent out into the Sovereignty to search for other Talented folk.
The school is known as the Emerald Academy, and is widely suspected to be a front for eastern interests. The five original founders are still suspected to be active in the Academy, and a few dozen Talents recruited from all over the Sovereignty have been recruited in the past two decades. The Academy remains adamant that its mission is "to educate" and efforts to learn more about it have thus far met with failure. Whether independent, a front for the oriental warlords, or even a cell of the Hidden Empire, the true motives of the Emerald Academy remain mysterious.
