Main Building

The main school building appears on the outside to be something out of the 18th century with stonework and a castle feel. An old style building with a gothic feel until you enter it. The inside has been renovated and is complete with modern electric sconces along the walls and a streamlined layout though many features have been kept from the old structure. Spiral staircases, the large doors, restored authentic furnishings, and original woodwork still decorate the interior. This is where classrooms, computer lab, and staff offices are located. Offices and computer lab are on the first floor and classrooms are on the floors above it.

Library

The library at Cluskia Academy is massive. It contains an immense volume of books ranging from ancient to recently published. The library is multilevel and the staircases leading to the upper floors are out in the open, there are no stairwells. The main level is for study and has many tables as well as some closed rooms for study groups. Keep things quiet in here or you may be kicked out or banned from the library for a time.

Athletics building

This was built slightly away from the main building but is styled the same. On one side is a large gymnasium and the other is an Olympic sized pool. The training grounds are behind this building.

Arts Center

AC for short, this building retains the same style as the main building and is on the opposite side of the school as the Athletics Building. Music, dance, and theater classes are located here. Also the basic art classes are located here such as painting, drawing, pottery, etc.

Courtyard and Gardens

The courtyard is in front of the main building before you walk into the main entrance, and the gardens are in the back of the building. The gardens are more expansive than the courtyard, though both are abundant with plants and trees of many kinds. There is a large fountain in both the courtyard and in the garden. The garden also has various bridged ponds. Disciplines of a physical labor kind are often carried out here.

Cluskia Farmlands

Cluskia Academy is very self-sufficient and strives to be environmentally sound. This is why here you will find fields of crops growing on the farm and a range of animals grazing on the ranch and in the stables. Needless to say, the entire Cluskia Academy grounds are gigantic.

Cluskia Forest

This is at the back of the grounds and it is an extremely large and very old forest. There are numerous types of trees here and it is quite a beautiful place. However, if you stray too far into the depths of this wood you tread further into danger. The surroundings begin to appear more sinister and the light turns to shadows. Many creatures make their home here and not all are friendly or even from the human realm. Be careful in here because there's no staff on watch to save you.

Student Store

In this section of the dorms, there are shops where you can upgrade and update your character information and items whether you be student or staff. You only need one topic with your character name as its title. All updates and upgrades for that character will be done in that thread. This topic is in the Hidden Plaza for organization's sake only

Armoury

This is the place to go if you need weaponry, hard to find if you've not been told the location and sometimes difficult to spot even if you have. It does take custom orders but those can be pricey depending on what you want. The owner is a gruff man of few words but knows his trade better than most and has plenty of skill to speak of. He answers to the name Smith, though no one knows if that's his real name or occupational title.

Apothecary

A small and odd shop mostly hidden due to its odd hexagon shaped entrance, this is where you go when you need items a pharmacist won't give you. Potions, poisons, serums, and more. Fae, the owner, appears young yet seems to know more than you ever will. Every once in a while she will do a custom request, but be careful because there's always a price and it's not always in the form of money.

Antiques

A shop that looks like any other antique shop on the outside, but on the inside all manner of eerie relic lie about in a loosely organized manner. The odd man who runs it, Lennon, somehow knows every story about every item and looks like a relic himself. While seemingly boring stories, it is wise to listen to everything in case there's an important detail to know about your item. Depending on what you uncover, he may want money or a trade and it's best to be wary of the trades.

Staff Dormitory

This is basically a lavish apartment building where the instructors and faculty live. These rooms are a good deal larger than the student dormitories and are always single residence. These are more like one bedroom apartments than dormitories. There is a full bathroom and modest kitchen in each unit. Students are allowed in this building only by temporary key card loaned by the faculty member themselves (every member has one extra card) or accompaniment. The only way in is a key card.

Female's Dormitory

This is where the female students live. It is a very nice dorm in the same style as the main building. Rooms are double occupancy and they are assigned. There is a large sky-lighted (tinted glass) communal shower room with private stalls on each floor. Two neighboring rooms (side by side) will share an attached half bathroom (no shower/bath).

Male's Dormitory

This is where male students live. It is exactly the same as the female dormitories. The building is styled after the main building. Communal shower rooms with private stalls on each floor. Two neighboring rooms share a half bathroom (no shower/bath).

Town Square

A location in the middle of the City To Be named. It's a square shaped area centered by a large stone fountain which portrays many geometrical features until the triangle at the top from which the water flows. Around the fountain is a large spaced out area in which running vehicles are not permitted. Surrounding the paved area are various Cafes and restaurants and other various stores. A perfect place for an afternoon date, or a simple snack.
