Est. five hundred years ago, give or take
The fan society for Escape This’s wizarding rooms: Magic School in Manly, Magic University in Melbourne and the castle of The Wizard’s Chamber where it all began. Meet the staff and the sorcerers, read four diaries, learn the legends and catch up on the Evening Scroll. Kept, with only a little sand in it, by the people who built the academy.
Latest from the Headmistress’s journal
Thursday. It has been decided, mostly by me, that these journals will be kept where parents and apprentices can read them. Corvus agreed, after some time spent staring at a wall, which I took as a yes.
Legend of the week
The staffroom on The Corso
Corvus and Selene have never met, yet they write to each other every week, his notes to her journal and hers to his. The legend is that the professor taught Corvus to write so that he would have someone to argue with, and then vanished so that Corvus would have to find someone else.
Their letters are real, in the journals. The professor’s motives are not on record.
Staff & sorcerers

Fiction. The diaries, legends, reports and some of the staff are invented. The academies are real.
