Wisteria Willow Academy experiences the Fading?

Opinion by Jem Stone

Sources say the school is experiencing it’s smallest class of first years in 36 years. 9 students suspected to be Normborn.

Even the halls of one the few prestigious academies around aren’t safe from fading. Wisteria Willow Academy of Magical Arts, established 1702, has always been a large part of the community of Deeproot. For 348 years students have sought and fought to attend, as only those with strong magical aptitude are admitted. By magical birthright you are an applicant, however that does not guarantee your admittance to the academy. Thus the problem: Wisteria Willow’s discriminant practice of who is worthy of the best education is upholding Normling systems of oppression….cont. pg. 27a

MANA to Conjurer new research center in Elderstone Forest

by Tara Ott

"This is something that will benefit all magical communities," Mayor Peach enthusiastically announced at this morning's round stump. That "something" is MANA's next move to expand its research bureau.

Elderstone, Deeproot's oldest natural stronghold. Wildwood like these are odd, scant and inestimably precious. Ask anyone around and they will sing the tales of a magic forgotten by Wix; an Æther that can only thrive in the harsh thicket.

by Lemm Awn

“Positively, wretched things! But don’t you worry! We have it under control! Nothing that we haven't seen before!"

The resurgence of the Glumpkin Grub took greenthumbed Wix by surprise last Fall. According to Adora Everfields, this was to be expected. "I warned 'em! The growing season is long, and this year with all the extra rain, it gives varmints a better chance to thrive!" Glumpkin are a staple for Fall recipes and various Autumnal Equinox rituals in Deeproot. While it's too early to tell how deep the grubs have burrowed, this year the gargantuan gourds could be scarce. "You know they were first grown right here in this soil! Phaseolus Everfields, my great great great—you know the guy! He hybridized, cultivated and perfected the growing method to yield the biggest, toughest Glumpkins and that's why I'm not worried about ours here on the Farmstead. Other farms should be worried, not Everfields!"...cont. pg.11
