Caelum Academy

• • • Academy RP • • • The Largest Academy RP Community on Crystal! https://caelumacademy.com/ Caelum is an RP knight academy setting featuring a combination of slice-of-life and plot-driven RP. You can participate even if you're not in the FC! We also welcome new roleplayers. The Academy stands as the shared vision of four noble houses of Ishgard, heirs to the legacy of the fallen House Caen: Roselune, Caelumont, Astralis, and Vesperaux. Long a prominent learning institution for the highborn, this Ishgardian knight academy deviated from tradition in recent times to pursue an unconventional goal: gather promising individuals from all over the star and place them on a path to knighthood under Caelum's knight order, Caelestia Aegis. In a city-state in flux, where minor houses have a chance to reimagine their positions, this novel, diverse military force has the goal of shaping Ishgard in House Caen's vision, one where highborn and lowborn alike are treated with empathy, respect, and dignity, bringing Ishgard closer to its ideal: Plato's Just City, ruled by philosopher kings. • • • Why Join? • • • Caelum is the largest academy RP community on Crystal.
