	The Imperial Academy at Anvil is an educational institution which is concerned with training the next generation of Imperial heroes. They are overseen by the [[Morrow#Canterspire\|Canterspire]] Academy in Urizen, whose Chancellor acts as its administrative and academic leader. Although the core members of the Faculty used to be Urizen scholars from Canterspire, they employ teachers from many other nations, and have a notable relationship with a number of Navarr stridings, whose view of the [[Navarr_culture_and_customs#The_Great_Dance\|Great Dance]] resonates with the Academy's mission of bringing future heroes to their full potential. The Academy offers free tuition to any Imperial child.		The Imperial Academy at Anvil is an educational institution which is concerned with training the next generation of Imperial heroes.

The Academy offers free tuition to any Imperial child.

	In the Autumn of 380YE, the [[Urizen\|Urizeni]] Abronsius Eldenheart stepped down from the position of Chancellor, and was succeeded by Zemira of Reumah's Redoubt from [[Highguard]], signalling a bold new era for the Academy. In the Autumn of 382YE ~~howeveer~~ the Academy was forced to take the sad decision to leave their offices at Canterspire and relocate to the heart of the Empire to stay safe from the [[Druj]] invasion. New Academy buildings near the Castle of Thorns have already been secured, and most of the staff have begun to settle in [[Dawn]]. Lady Jaycinda Griffinsbane, the Chancellor of the Academy expressed regret that it has come to this, but even before the Druj invasion there had been talk of transferring the heart of the Academy to somewhere closer to the middle of the Empire. With barbarians within a few weeks march of the spire, the safety of their charges forced the issue.

	The Academy sees 384 looking towards a new future in Dawn, and the prospect of bold new adventures with new students and teachers alike. Lord Florette Griffinsbane stepped in for a year to manage the Academy but has now passed the leadership of the Academy fully to Chancellor Hildebrand Von Holberg of the Temple of Nine Fingers.
