Dear Aspiring Hunters,

I am delighted to inform you that the Committee on Admissions has approved you to attend the freshman class of 2025. Please accept my personal congratulations on your outstanding achievements that brought you to our door. Your application has demonstrated exceptional potential, and we are thrilled to welcome you to join the legendary hunters who have walked these historic halls.

As you prepare to embark on this epic journey we must warn you: life at the University of Dragonspire is not for the faint of heart. Here, you'll delve deep into training and harnessing your own Aura, discovering your unique Affinity-be it Augmentation, Telekinesis, Projection, Alteration, Summon/Creation, or perhaps even a rare Specialty. You'll learn to wield these abilities as you track mystical beasts, outsmart mischievous spirits, face creatures that haunt the darkest corners of your imagination, or even face down rebellious rogue hunters.

Your acceptance grants you access to:

• State-of-the-art training facilities, where you will forge your skills and represent Dragonspire in the infamous "Hunter Games"
• A vast library of ancient tomes on fantastical monster lore and hunting techniques that will fulfill your desire to learn about the world of Aerith
• A diverse faculty of experienced hunters, each with their own hair-raising tales to tell will guide you through this once in a lifetime quest
• The opportunity to forge lifelong friendships (or rivalries) with fellow monster-hunting prodigies
• World class meals and competition to fuel your appetite for adventure, ever tried Dragon's Tongue?

Be warned: the challenges that await you are as thrilling as they are perilous. You'll face spine-chilling challenges, heart-pounding field missions, and the constant threat of death or worse expulsion, should you fail to meet our standards.

Don't get ahead of yourself, you are a first-year student and although we take safety seriously at Dragonspire, accidents happen. We want you to complete all six years, whole. No hunter is invincible, and it will be best if you remember that during your time here.

Pack your courage, sharpen your wits, and prepare for a year like no other. The monsters are waiting, and the University of Dragonspire is ready to transform you into the hunter you were born to be.

We await your arrival with bated breath. That is, if you dare to accept...

Yours truly,

Magnus G. D. Holloway

Headmaster at University of Dragonspire
