Choose your path

Sixty-one professors. Ten wings. One rule that matters: the creature must be a point-of-view or major character — a passing mention never counts.

📖 The 61 Professors

The Academy's main challenge: read one book per professor, from Bloodworth's vampires to Crag's ogres. Log each finish in your grimoire.
