Storytelling is an art deserving of greatest reverence1, and storytellers ought to be
considered guardians2 of Llyrian cultural heritage. As such, the literature college will be the
most exclusive of the university’s undergraduate programs, requiring the highest exam
scores and fulfillment of the most stringent3 requirements. Pursuant to that, it would be
inappropriate to admit women, who have not, as a sex, demonstrated great strength in the
faculties4 of literary analysis or understanding.
From a missive by Sion Billows upon the founding of the University of Llyr, 680
BD
“So you’re really going,” Rhia said.
Effy nodded, swallowing a burning sip5 of coffee. All around them, other students had their
heads bent6 over their books, pens gripped in ink-stained hands, lips bitten in concentration. There
was the grind and hum of the coffee machine and the sound of dishes clinking as tarts7 and scones8
were served. The Drowsy9 Poet was the favorite café of students in Caer-Isel, and it was a mere10
block away from the Sleeper11 Museum.
“I’m not trying to rain on your parade—or, Saints forbid, sound like Maisie—but don’t you
think it’s all a bit odd? I mean, why would they pick a first-year architecture student for such an
enormous project?”
