The Commons

With a widely varied student body, we accept those the humans do not know exist, in part to help protect them from those who would harm them. We do not condone fighting on campus. species listings will be added as the excerpts from our text are released. Questions are welcome at any time. Our counterparts are the deities, who think they are better than we simply because they see themselves as one of a kind. We highly encourage our students to put them in their place. They are no better than we.

Welcome

The School for the Commons is secret to all humans. We do not wish them to know of us, as this has led to persecution in the past. Please regard the Salem Witch Trials and the huntings for the wolf in France as example of what humans will do to us if they learn we exist.

This particular school is for the gifted and privileged of the "common." We do not discriminate race, but rather wealth, power, and skill, as we are a private school for the elite. We want to find the talent that is left among our kinds, and we wish to nourish that talent while maintaining good relationships between the races themselves. The wars between the were-wolves and the vampires are long over, and we wish to keep it that way. We wish to save the dragons from their extinction, and preserve the life cycles of the phoenixes. We are honored that the Court has allowed the fey to attend.

Our ambition is to preserve, not to destroy. Our goal is to nurture, not to neglect. Our wish is to keep the peace, not begin a war. Our dream is to survive and to better the younger of our generations.
