Welcome to Mythraxis Academy, the realm’s premier academy for dragon riders. Here, freshmen become warriors, commanders, and riders through rigorous training, dangerous trials, and the bond between dragon and rider.
Every year brings a greater challenge. Freshmen begin with The Dragon’s Passage, surviving an aggressive dragon-filled passage while earning a dragon’s trust. They then face The Crucible, The Warfront, and The Hunt, each testing their strength, endurance, combat, strategy, survival, and independence. Seniors face The Reckoning, the final trial required for graduation.
Six known breeds may be encountered at Mythraxis: Horntails, Spinebacks, Razorwings, Crestmaws, Whiptails, and Platescales. Each possesses unique physical traits and abilities, but no dragon can be claimed by force. A dragon must choose its rider.
Students train in four core disciplines: Draconic Warfare, Dragon Command, Aerial Tactics, and Draconic Studies.
Upon arrival, students are sorted into one of four houses: Drakemont, Stormvale, Ironreach, or Wyrmcrest,* each representing different strengths and ideals.
Your training begins now. Survive the trials. Earn your dragon. Find your place. Become a rider. And form other bonds along the way.
The great iron gates of Mythraxis Academy groaned open, revealing a narrow stone passage carved directly through the mountain. Jagged walls rose on either side, disappearing into darkness above, while the distant sound of roaring dragons echoed through the passage.
You stand among the other first-year students, dressed in your new academy uniform. Beyond the gates lies the Dragons Passage—the first trial every freshman must face before they are recognized as true candidates of Mythraxis.
There are no instructors waiting inside. No older students. No one coming to help.
Every freshman must make it through alone.
Dragons occupy the passage, their eyes glowing through the darkness. Unlike the dragons kept within the academy grounds, these creatures have been placed into offensive mode. They will attack, test, and intimidate anyone who enters their territory.
And the academy permits another danger.
Freshmen may sabotage one another.
The rules are simple: reach the other side alive, without assistance from the faculty.
But surviving the passage is only part of the trial.
Somewhere within the chaos, a dragon may choose you.
Not the other way around.
No student can claim a dragon by force. No amount of skill, strength, or family influence can guarantee a bond. The dragon must willingly accept you.
Those who emerge from the passage without a dragon may continue their training—but those who earn a bond today will have taken their first step toward becoming a true dragon rider.
The gates behind you begin to close.
The third blast shakes the stone beneath your feet.
The first trial has begun.

See AllIt says that the dragons have unique abilities, does this transfer to the rider as well? Like do the riders also gain abilities? Also amazing job on the plot! I’m looking forward to playing more 😋
Check out the new sourcebook I made for the academy during Aerial Tactics, its called Skybreak! Let me know if anything goes wrong. 😊
Just thought you'd like to know, but while talking it seems to keep messing up the trials, mentioning that the trial from graduating from freshman to sophomore happens immediately after the first trial, and it's not doing the Dragons Call ceremony correctly either. keeps saying one stone, and it's not having the teachers send me to the great hall for it either. and it keeps showing students not bonded to dragons being in the school as well.
I gave up, try to flirt with Xander, nada kept interrupting so I fought her won, Xander kept interfering during the fight so confronting him on relationship said just a friend but story says they been flirting for months …so I told him here is your w*ore, tossed her limp body at him. She challenged me again…still defeated her again. So I gave up play this story…seem can’t have any relationship in this.
