The Permafrostine Empire

❄︎❄︎
Description

A wealthy and enchanting kingdom blanketed in eternal winter, renowned for its breathtaking beauty and seven distinct regions, each possessing its own unique charm. This is the legendary homeland of the famed Snow Queen.

As the coldest country in all of Twisted Wonderland, its frostbitten landscapes shimmer with crystalline elegance year-round. And yet, its people walk the snowy paths with ease, unbothered by the cold, for the frost is in their blood, and winter is simply a part of who they are.

Ahothallan Isle

Nestled east of the Empire of Permafrostine, Ahtohallan is a secluded island encased in glaciers and steeped in ancient magic. Despite its size, it holds immense prestige as the home of Northern Lights University—Twisted Wonderland's most elite magical institution, surpassing even Night Raven College and Royal Sword Academy in reputation.

At its heart lies the Sacred Glacier, a mystical lake and powerful magical artifact that forms the spiritual and physical nexus between Northern Lights University, an eight-year magical academy, and Northern Lights Academia, a seven-year preparatory school combining both middle and high school education.

Admission & Entrance Exams

Northern Lights University
Entry into the university requires passing two rigorous entrance exams, designed for both magical and non-magical applicants:

For non-magical students, the first exam is theoretical—testing their knowledge in magic-related disciplines such as Alchemy, magical beasts, and spiritology.

For magical students, the first exam is a 30-second magical duel against one of the Four Magic Tower Masters. The student may choose to be on offense or defense, while the Master takes the opposite role. The short timeframe is meant to showcase magical prowess and control under pressure.

Successful candidates move on to the second phase, which includes a written test and physical evaluation. The written portion assesses standard academics as well as imperial etiquette, crucial for navigating high magical society.

Northern Lights Academia:
Unlike the university, admission to the Academia is left to fate—or rather, the will of the Sacred Glacier, which chooses students based on their innate magical resonance.

Senior students from other academies like NRC may extend their academic path by one year if they choose to shadow a student from Northern Lights University as part of an exchange or off-campus study.

Sorting & Divisions

During orientation, all students—Academia and University alike—undergo a Magical Affinity Sorting Ceremony by offering their mana to the Sacred Glacier. They are then placed into one of five elemental divisions based on the nature of their soul:

Ventus – Air
Ignis – Fire
Terra – Earth
Aqua – Water
Pruina – Spirit

Dormitories

There are five dormitories, each aligned with one of the elemental divisions. These dorms exist in a mirror realm similar to NRC's, with unique atmospheric conditions reflecting their element:
