ALL ADVERTISEMENTS GO HERE. GUEST-FRIENDLY

As a reference to those with enough power to access it, this is where all the information about everyone is at. If your file is not here then technically you don't exist~

For students to be admitted into the academy and know their dorm placements, they must first take the placement test. Depending on how well you do, you might get into a high ranking dorm.

Before participating in a duel, the deck being used must be registered for legal purposes. Any duels won with unregistered decks are invalid and subject to forfeit. This applies to all duelists.

Here is where members can post a variety of things. Character journals, relationship plots, requests for an RP and other similar things go here.

Upon first entering the academy, most people will find be greeted by the massive area known as the main lobby. Built around a massive pillar that acts both as the main support of the building and the main elevators, the main lobby is a giant, circular room with several smaller hallways branching off into different areas of the academy.

Located down the northwestern hallway out of the main lobby is many rooms reserved for clubs. All sorts of clubs can be found here, ranging from music clubs to dueling clubs to clubs based around sports or leisurely activities.

Even though the academy is based around dueling it is still, by technicality, a school and as such is required to hold classes. Located on the second floor of the academy, this is where all classes are to be held unless otherwise stated. Be sure to pay attention to your instructors and don't slack off.

Located on the third and final floor of the academy are the professors' offices. Professors come here to do their paperwork or lounge around in peace and quiet, though students are sometimes brought up for discipline.

Set against the base of the mountains, Odin Red dorms have the reputation of housing the best duelists in the academy in an almost elitist way. Though only those with good connections and outstanding grades can get in, the rewards of the most luxurious living spaces makes it quite satisfying.

Situated next to the edge of the academy's forest, the Thor Yellow dorms reflect what seems to be a typical average apartment. These dorms are for those students that are intermediate at dueling or have promising skills.

Set in the middle of the academy's massive fields, Loki Blue has the worst living conditions out of the dorms, though it's by no means dangerous to a student's health. These dorms are the lowest ranking of the three dorms and are for students who have barely passed their entrance exams.

These unfinished dorms, situated next to a small beach, are currently under construction. Only the headmaster and assistant headmaster know the true purpose this dorm will serve when it is finished. Students are forbidden from approaching the construction site.

Located just outside of the academy's main entrance, the rather large courtyard resembles a park more than an actual courtyard. Swings, gazebos, small ponds and benches are scattered around the area and there are many paths that lead around the area, making it a very accessible and relaxing place.

Located East of the academy's entrance, the Ymir Forest is named after the single, massive tree that stands at its center. The tree is nearly as tall as the academy's main building and it never loses its green. Rumors say that the boundary between realms is thin here.

Although this mountain range has no official name, it is well known by both students and staff of the academy. Located just North of the academy, this mountain range spans a majority of the Northern edge of the entire island. Only small portion of this range has been explored thoroughly.

These massive plains span a majority of the island, stretching from the academy all the way to Atherum City. There is little of interest on these plain except for the main road that connects city and academy and a field of flowers within the academy's limits.

The Residential District of Atherum City is full of houses and apartment buildings. There is a small park in the center of the district, but its nothing too special. Most citizens of the city live within this area.

Located in the very center of the city, the Industrial District houses branches of many of Duel Monsters' largest companies in the world. The main building in the center is the main headquarters of the Schroeder Corp, the main source of funding of the Atherum Dueling Academy.

Otherwise known as the Recreational District, the Atherum Market is famous for its wide variety of goods and items from around the world. You can find nearly anything you could ever want to buy here, though the prices may sometimes be rather high and some shops are in better condition than others.

Located on the Southwestern edge of Atherum City, these docks serve as the main junction between the island the city and academy are located on and the mainland. Boats that run across the world can be found here, but many are usually bound to and from Domino City to the south. A small arena for dueling can be found here for bored sailors and dock workers, but there isn't much more of interest here to students.

Often considered the biggest attraction that Atherum City has to offer, this beautiful beach stretched the entire city's length across the coast. A mini tram station is in place to help people get to their desired spot on the massive beach quickly, though most people tend to stay within the vicinity of the nearby bar, restaurant and parking lot.

Hidden on a plane of existence that moves near our own, the Shadows wait to feed upon fresh souls who are sent here by those who play the Shadow Games. Only those who hold Shadow Charms can control the darkness that exists in this realm.
