One day, Queen Kenau I Kroon beheld a vision: a mighty light shining deep within the forests of Zeelos. Compelled by wonder, she journeyed there and discovered a source of pure energy resting quietly among the trees, later known as Kenau’s Light. She knelt beside it and prayed to the Seven Stars, and in that moment became the first mortal ever blessed with magical power. In gratitude, she blessed the place by raising a great wooden dome around the light.

Eager to share this gift, and to learn how to master it herself, Kenau caused seven mighty trees to rise from the earth. Each tree embodied one of the elemental forces, serving as a bridge between humankind and the mysteries of magic. Through them, the people of Hollandos would be taught to harness their newfound power.

In the centuries since, the academy has stood as one of the great pillars of Hollandos. The trees have grown into towering, living citadels, their mighty trunks housing halls and classrooms. Each tree is entrusted to a professor, while the Magister oversees the safety and guidance of the entire community.

To this day, Queen Kenau I is honoured at the annual Grand Starfall Open, when people gather to display their most dazzling magical abilities in remembrance of the queen who first discovered the light.
