An announcement made by Councilor Reev at the Town Hall on Tarsakh 5th, Yr 152

Citizens of Sanctuary! I am pleased to announce the refurbishment of the Arena and its transformation into the Sanctuary School of War.

This project is one I've been working hard toward since being voted onto the Council, and now I return your thankful votes with something tangible.

The School of War shall be a place of learning, of teaching and of growth. A place where citizens of Sanctuary may come and learn the arts of warfare, and therefore protection and survival for both themselves and their families. In time, as our community becomes more skilled, when the majority of our citizens can all lay claim to having some battle prowress, we will be ready. Ready to fight for what we all long for. Ready to fight for the sun-kissed lands above, for the mountains and the rivers and the meadows. Ready to fight, and trained to win.

A special thanks to my fellow Councilors who saw the great wisdom in opening an academy like this, and further accolades to those donaters who helped me finance it; Jastaro Roark, Zachlt Kemorach, Otto Lonmore and Alderec of Yhaunn.

The following Charter is posted outside the Arena building:

Sanctuary School of War

The Sanctuary School of War shall serve as a place and institution in which Sancturians may come and learn warcraft free of charge or discrimination. The vision behind this endeavour is to offer training in physical and tactical battle prowess and thereby embolden Sancturians to a greater and more able defence of themselves and their city when it comes to the dark enemies that lay without.

- The School of War is a volunteer body which shall receive no funding from the city authorities unless said authorities deem it appropriate to do so.

- The School of War shall be run by the Headmaster and the rest of his team, who will simply be named the Staff. The Headmaster will be elected by the Council every election term. The Staff members will be chosen by the Headmaster. The Headmaster will be in direct charge of running the School. The Headmaster shall be held personally responsible for seeing the School's charter upheld.

- The Staff body of the School of War will receive no payment. They will however, be afforded a place of rest as well as storage. They will also have the mandate to eject troublemakers from the School building.

- The Staff body will be charged with holding daily training sessions for the citizens of Sanctuary. Such training encompasses both physical and tactical measures. Moreover, the Staff shall be charged with the hosting of a tournament every tenday, any proceeds of which shall be returned to the city treasury.
