Deneb
Tower College Armand
College Armand was the first of its kind built by the Tower. In fact, it was this building that earned the splinter group from the Salbei Sages their name. Armand was a Salbei Sage and court mage to King Hugo of La’Certa over 1,300 years ago. Armand wanted a tract of sovereign land, and resources to build the college. King Hugo agreed in exchange for the slaughter of the Pegasus Nakbeast tribe, who had recently inflicted a stinging defeat against Hugo’s armies. Armand and some like-minded Salbei Sages agreed to the terms and used their mastery of magic to commit an act of violence that the modern day Tower would perhaps prefer was forgotten.
Based in the pleasant climate of Southern La’Certa, halfway between the Capital and the city of Bourbon. The open plains and farming country of La’Cera stretch far out to the east. To the west, and much closer, are the foothills of the Typhon mountains.
The College Armand is now the most prestigious place in the world for students to study the art of Aethermancy and be inducted into the ranks of the Tower.
The Tower are one of the playable factions in Deneb and will be one of the factions included in the starter set.
This is one of the many specially created pieces of artwork for Deneb. This is part of a small selection of pieces aimed at revealing a little bit more about the world itself and some of the key locations.

This was making it difficult to browse the whole project, so moved to the comments on this post for anyone who is interested.
Awesome artwork, I love the low-angle perspective and the blue-purple color scheme, centered on the the flame atop the tower – and of course the people on the staircase for scale. 😀
Key dates in the history of “Tower College Armand” 63 P.D. – King Louis Laurent of La’Certa permanently retains a court mage provided by the Society of Salbei. They agree to a never-ending contract, as they have been much reduced in recent years after splitting into three sub-factions, one of which left the society entirely in 49 P.D. The yearly funding provided in exchange was dearly needed. 150 P.D. – King Hugo (grandson of Louis) orders the conquering of the Nakbeast tribes. The first assault ended in a massacre of Nakbeast tribes-folk in the city of Nyadalgaakhot. Hulagu of the… Read more »
Hello. Great description, I’m glad to read it. The College Armand is now the most prestigious place in the world for students to study the art of Aethermancy and be inducted into the ranks of the Tower. Also they follow the students’ scam and you will not be able to order your work somewhere like https://pro-papers.com/research-proposal-writing. Because they really want to provide education at the highest level.
Cool stuff, keep sharing!
Thanks, appreciate the kind words!
