Perched along the tranquil banks of the river in the heart of Altoria, the Arcanium of Aetheris is a renowned academy of magical study and arcane research. The academy’s grounds are a harmonious blend of stone and nature, with elegant spires and towers rising amid lush gardens that slope gently down to the river’s edge. The waterway provides a constant, soothing backdrop, and many of the academy's buildings feature open-air terraces and balconies that overlook the shimmering currents of the river.
