Find your classroom →Chapter I / Brightwell Academy
Your first home in Kalana.
A proposed first week of adventure: meet your cohort, explore your discipline, learn to work together and prepare for the world beyond the gates.
The spaces between lessons
Shared meals, libraries, dormitories, bathhouses and playfields leave room for friendships to form.
Explore campus life →A very tall welcome
Giants are visitors, not playable students. Oversized doors, a giant bell and generous public routes make them feel at home.
See the Tallfolk route →Tallfolk welcome
Please mind the lintel.
The proposed giant route leads from the southern Tallfolk gate through admissions and the high central cloister to the refectory, with a branch to the western fields. Nine-metre visitor doorways sit beside ordinary student entrances. The little bell is for students. The other one is rather louder.
