Chapter 29: The Amber Lily Academy

The Amber Lily Academy lay just outside the core of the Pilgrim's Ward, slightly off the beaten path but close enough to the hustle and bustle of travelers to provide endless opportunities to meet new people and encounter foreign experts at any given tea house or corner cafe. The Academy itself seemed to prize this sort of easy access to travelers, forgoing the high walls and impressive gates favored by most sects and even mortal academies in favor of a more open-feeling campus environment with multiple public gardens and pavilions for casual discussion between scholars.
