Solovan
The town of Solovan is not particularly impressive. Sitting just west of Cherak, on the edge of the Inner Sea, it is a small agricultural community lying in the foothills of the local Kanahaken Mountains. With a population of just under one thousand people, unaffiliated with the Realm despite its nearness to their satrapies, Solovan would be almost entirely uninteresting if it weren't for their only feature; the Twin Dragons Academy, a school for the martial arts.
The Twin Dragon Academy
The Twin Dragon Academy is a half-hour's walk up the road from Solovan. Surrounded by pine and birch trees, the high walls of the Academy conceal its interior from the merely curious; those who wish entrance must step to the front gates, at which a pair of guards are also in attendance. Inside, there is a large outer courtyard, laid out in brickwork, along with pathways leading to the main building, the side building, the stables, and paths around to the small gardens in the back.
The main building of the Academy takes up the bulk of the space. On the ground floor of this building are the training rooms; in here, students train in the martial arts and study whatever else they may have come to learn. The rear area of the ground floor also includes the private chambers of the Academy's masters. The second floor of the Academy contains two large dormatories, where the students who have chosen not to live in town sleep; there is no particular privacy, so many students prefer the long walk to and from the Academy each day.
