Sanctum Noctis

L
Lauvren

Here, candlelight flickers against endless corridors, whispers travel through walls, and ghosts of former scholars sometimes attend lectures. Students study alchemy through forgotten poetry, linguistics of the dead, and emotional cartography — the mapping of human hearts. Magic isn’t flashy; it’s subtle, psychological, and deeply personal, rooted in rituals, memory, and feeling.
