Symbol of the Starfall Academy

Starfall Academy

The day that changed the world of Hollandos forever. Queen Kenau I Kroon beheld a vision: a mighty light shining deep within the forests of Zeelos. Compelled by wonder, she journeyed south 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. In that moment became the first ever mortal blessed with magical power.

In her 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 planted seven seeds, which rose into seven mighty trees. Each tree embodied one of the elemental forces, serving as a bridge between humankind and the magic of the Seven Stars. 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 aspects of Hollandos. The trees have grown into towering, living citadels, with 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 Academy.

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