Divided amongst four distinct elements, the four planes can only be united by talented alchemists. Too bad our students are still in training!
Inspired by media like The Illuminae Files, Ouran HS Host Club, and Fullmetal Alchemist, planarposting is an ARG-adjacent blog-based narrative. Through several student blogs, the politics and identities shaping an elite university are explored in a modern-fantasy world. At its heart are themes of storytelling, grief, and the power of transformation.

The school year is about to begin at Cavillier Academy! As the top university in the Kingdom of Farrago, known across the four planes for its alchemical education, students from all over have begun to plan their arrival. Among them are ten whose path may first cross at Guild rush. As they shape one another's lives, they will shape the planes, and long-kept secrets may begin to come to light...

Who broke the treaty first—Faerie, or the other side?
Skim: Treaty? Which one? There were seventeen.
The first was made in laughter. The second, in spite.
But the last one?
Faerie broke it, yes. But only because the Other Side never signed it.
The Archivist: The matter is... contested.
Historical accounts suggest Faerie violated Clause Three first,
but only after the Unknown Party breached the temporal seals.
Both sides claim justification.
Only one is lying.
(Unfortunately, we cannot recall which.)
