Amid chaos and fighting, Headmistress Gitaren managed to preserve the Academy of the Arts, though not its reputation. Only sycophants willing to dash off odes to the highest bidder (primarily our king) stayed to work and study under her tutelage. One could say the academy still flourishes — though in the same way a pond covered with duckweed turns green on a sleepy summer day, slowly becoming a swamp. No one dreams of studying at the academy anymore — but for those more concerned with reality than dreams, it will always have a comfortable room.
