[COMPLETED] On the seemingly endless cliff face of the Dawnwall, one wrong step means a long fall and a slow death. In a place where airships fill the sky and cities rest in alcoves of stone, a fear of heights is an embarrassing affliction, not that Aelyn Ellis will ever admit it. At fifteen years old the young shepherd is perfectly content spending his life buried in books, studying swashbuckling adventure from the comfort of a wool-cushioned chair. Unfortunately, as it is said on the Dawnwall, no one is above that which lies below. It is a cold and windless morning when Aelyn's non-paternal grandfather dies in an accident at the town's pier. Without a will, Aelyn loses everything: his home, his flock, and his library. Aelyn is left with only the clothes on his back and a single book in his pocket, a book that holds a dangerous secret. Burdened with the knowledge of a treasure unlike any other, Aelyn makes the choice to face his fear, setting forth on a voyage across the high-skies. Pursued by bloodthirsty sky pirates and haunted by ghostly apparitions, Aelyn must band together with a crew of privateers to unlock the secret of a fortune so valuable it could change the future... and the past.

Sunrise School. A boarding school for kids to get an amazing education and great communications skills. Perfect for those who aspire to become successful and rich. To outsiders it seems like a faultless schooling experience, but we know that the stigma behind the school is not quite what it may seem. During class hours, the conditions are ideal-everyone is hard working and well mannered. However, once classes are out, and we are left with free time to socialize, scandals and drama arises without fail. Even the most unproblematic of students get wrapped up in their own incidents. Everyone in Sunrise has their moments, but not everybody recovers. My story at Sunrise begins with my parents dreams towards my success, but things do not necessarily go as planned along my pathway throughout my schooling.
