The country of Aldrea has been at peaceful rest for a long time. Grand magics allow for instant communication, and the world has moved past it's constant wars, and machinations of dark gods, elder things, and has begun a new era through the progression of time. Magic has not faded, rather it is more ubiquitous and common in this day and age than ever before. The provinces of Aldrea, once kingdoms of men, elves, orcs, and dwarves united via dutifully elected council, but there are always monsters, be in the mountains of madness, or the deepest dwellings of the dark undersea, these places still hold power in this modern era. While a commoner might not live in fear of the days when dragons roamed the skies, the monsters of the world will never truly be gone, and there will always be relics from the forgotten ages that came before.
It is against those monsters that each province trains the future generations, so that each generation that follows is stronger, and smarter than the last. Here in the province of Glimmerhelm there are many noble schools that teach the magical arts, the ways of old martial skills, songs of new and old, but there is a school that has a reputation. In the quiet well protected town of Norton Valley is The Low Valley Adventuring Academy, the worlds most storied institution for raising would be adventurers.
It is a slow morning in the valley that resembles a flourishing town from 1990's america. The early morning haze is just starting to lift as the dawn sunlight breaks over this sleepy scene. It is September 5th by the new calendar and it is the first day of school for our new heroes.

We begin in a small Cul-de-sac of similar but not exactly the same house. White picket fence, the picturesque image of the Glimmerhelm promise of peace, and prosperity. This is the Trisro house, a home of middle class, not wealthy, but never poor. Tomaso is a realestate agent, and her husband Tasani an architect and upon this morning as they move about and make breakfast, both are visibly concerned, and in fact mortified that their only daughter has chosen to attend the adventuring academy.
"You know sweetheart, there is still time to put in your application for Maritven." The upscale private wizarding institution. Known for being safe, if a bit stuffy and higher class It was Tomaso who spoke first trying to draw her daughter into a safer life. "Your test scores were more than spectacular in middleschool, you would do amazing things I'm sure."
~~~
From the uptown cul de sac, we go to the thriving downtown, To an apartment building somewhat worn down, the sign calls them the Hallowed fountain apartments, and we see the Taylor house hold. Lanelle Taylor A beautiful human woman who has entered into middle age. Worry, and grey hairs have started to really hit her face. The apartment is not small, but it's not exactly luxurious. Lanelle had left her work to raise her son, and she had tried her best, but while she still had her beauty she has started to grow old.
"Mica, breakfast." She called out. As she put out a meager breakfast. cereal, a banana, there isn't enough milk in the fridge for two bowls, so she silently poured water into her own bowl, and made sure to give the last of the milk to her growing son who would need it more.
~~~
From downtown we make our way still in the downtown area, but across the tracks and to the more upscaled side, we find a manor, and moving trucks. Because today isn't just the first day of school it's the first day in this new location for the Meryll's. Your father and mother promised you Rylie that this, this would be the town where you would finally get to put down roots, your family arrived last night, and it was a very uncomfortable night in a sleeping bag in this large house with no furniture, but today it would seem your parents have set up deliveries, and are beginning to set up a permanent home.
For the first time in your life there is an opportunity for you to make friends outside of the few kids that traveled with the carnival that your parents had been a part of. Live in a home instead of constantly going from city to city on the long road between the provinces. This is the furthest east you have ever been, and it seems that your parents are excited for their daughter to step into their new role.
~~~
and from the wealthy upscaled house, we move a little farther out, on the farthest point on the highway just barely inside of Norton Valley city limits we come to our last house. It's a little more run down, but it is a house. This is the case family home, and Kali's younger brother Ben is already up and running literally. It's an early start, Kali's father Denetarius has already gone to work, and your mother Evelyn is trying her best to wrangle Ben her child and get him ready for a day at elementary.
"Ben put that down!" her voice almost seems tired, but at the same time enjoying the bit of chaos that Ben is clearly causing so early in the morning as their is a loud crash and some pots and pans clatter in the kitchen. Evelyn and Ben are both Human, but are also somewhat trouble makers in their own way, while Denetarius a tiefling is usually the more responsible one, and since he's gone to work, in your house chaos rains.
