Hello again friends!
Another time to write for The View?! Color me excited!
If you haven’t met me, I am called Dream Mender Chrysanta Morris, Oathsworn of Voraniss.
For any who have never seen a college before, you certainly missed out on seeing the Wyvern College this day! How wonderfully new the whole process was for me to enroll for classes and learn from some of the best and brightest here in The Realms! I even wore a very special hat inspired by Friend James Swift! Though, I do not believe pink is his color…
My experience started by having some very yummy jam with crackers while my friends started their first classes. I was very behind on signing up for classes so there were only so many spots and I honestly just wanted to drink in the environment.
Then, it was time for my first class of the day with Friend Kindrianna and Friend Elwin on how to interpret magic. It was very informative, and a very full class! Both Friend Kindrianna and Friend Elwin have so much knowledge that I do not think forty five minutes was enough! I do appreciate learning and understanding the new magic of this world. It feels so different and I love every second of it!
Next, I sat in on a very intimate class with Friend Phee teaching about how to be a herald! I am naturally quite skittish and nervous so I thought, who better to teach me to speak up than a herald? Friend Phee’s class was very informative and they gave me so much encouragement that even if I never take up the heralding title, I can at least have the knowledge to share with any friend interested!
My last class was my very good friend, Friend Rowan, teaching about plant identification. Who knew there were so many different leaf shapes! I will admit, learning so much about all the edible things that grow on the campus did make me very hungry…
To finish my report, seeing everyone that day was humbling for a young Faun such as me. You never know who you will meet, or meet again, on a campus like this or what you can learn from them. It makes me excited to see where this knowledge brings us. I hope that knowing how to better ourselves will make not only us as individuals better, but The Realms as a whole better.
With that, ends my report on Training Day!
Sweetest of Dreams,
Dream Mender

P.S.
A quick OOC add on.
I want to thank all of those who stepped up to teach classes so we can better ourselves both in and out of character with their knowledge. Thank you to Kelly for throwing a spectacular event. I feel like events like this are severely underutilized and can be so beneficial for not only our newer players but veterans as well. Seeing people participate not only in the classes but also the Bake Sale and Auction was very humbling for me to watch knowing the money is going to folks in need of comfort and love. In hard times, it’s easy to sweep things aside to push forward. So, during the turbulent times we find ourselves in, it’s comforting to know we can rely on each other for kindness, compassion, and faith in humanity to be good and caring.
Lead with kindness, respect, and love and we can make it through this.
Warmly,
Emma Harvey
