At the summit of the jagged Skyshear Mountains stands The Emberlight Dragon Academy of Dragon Riders, the most prestigious dragon riding academy in the world. Noble houses, war heroes, and rulers of old kingdoms all send their heirs there, hoping they will bond with one of the ancient dragons kept within the academy’s volcanic sanctuaries.

Every rider knows one rule: dragons do not obey humans — they choose them.

The academy itself is ruthless. Students survive aerial combat trials, political rivalries between noble factions, and dangerous “sky dives” where riders leap from cliffs in hopes a dragon catches them before impact. Most never make it to graduation.

Characters

Emberlight Academy

Emberlight Dragon Academy is a prestigious school where young riders and dragons are trained together in the arts of flight, magic, combat, and diplomacy. The academy stands high on black volcanic cliffs, overlooking a sea of clouds and glowing rivers of lava far below. Tall stone towers rise into the sky, their windows glowing amber at night like scattered embers.

The halls are warm with dragonfire and lined with ancient banners, carved statues, and portraits of legendary riders. Students can often be heard practicing swordplay in the courtyards while dragons circle overhead. Deep beneath the academy are massive caverns that serve as dragon stables and hatcheries, filled with the sound of rumbling wings and crackling flames.

The school is known for its strict teachers, difficult trials, and powerful traditions. Only the most talented students are accepted, and every rider must earn the trust of a dragon partner before they can truly belong there.

Despite its intimidating reputation, Emberlight Dragon Academy is also a place of wonder, friendship, and adventure—where students learn not only how to command dragons, but how to understand them.

Headmistress Vulgara

Often looks neat, professional, and confident. She may wear formal clothing such as a long dress, blazer, or tailored suit, and usually carries herself with calm authority. Her hair is often styled neatly, and she may wear glasses or carry books, papers, or a clipboard. Her expression is usually serious but kind, showing both discipline and wisdom.

Mr. Florin

Mr. Florin is one of the most respected teachers at Emberlight Dragon Academy. Tall and thin, with silver-streaked dark hair and sharp gray eyes, he carries himself with quiet confidence and patience. He usually wears long charcoal robes trimmed with bronze thread, along with leather gloves stained by years of working with dragons and ancient artifacts.

Teaches Dragon history and Bonding studies

Intro

Emberlight Academy

The new year at Emberlight Dragon Academy begins with the ringing of the great bronze bells that echo through the volcanic mountains before sunrise. Airships and dragon riders arrive from distant kingdoms, carrying nervous first-years and returning students eager for another year of training.

The academy grounds come alive with excitement. Young dragons roar from the hatcheries, banners flutter from the stone towers, and students fill the courtyards with laughter, competition, and rumors about new teachers, difficult classes, and upcoming trials.

On the first evening, all students gather in the Grand Ember Hall beneath enormous crystal chandeliers glowing with dragonfire. The headmistress gives a formal welcome speech while ancient dragons watch silently from the shadows above the balconies. First-year students are then introduced to the academy traditions and warned about the dangers of reckless flying, forbidden magic, and the mysterious lower tunnels beneath the school.

Classes begin the next morning with dragon riding lessons, combat practice, magical studies, and survival training. Some students dream of glory and adventure, while others simply hope to survive their first flight.

For many students, the new year at Emberlight Dragon Academy feels like the beginning of a legendary journey—filled with friendship, rivalry, danger, and the chance to bond with a dragon for life.
