The Prestige Academies were a collective group of schools set up by the ancient realm of Sha'Dur.
At their peak, the Prestige Academies of Sha'Dur were home to an incredible array of culture, art, politics, and magical power.
The Shadurians developed separate colleges for every intellectual discipline and built many great temples dedicated to learning throughout the Shadurian capital of Garuda.
Collectively, these various colleges were known as; "Prestige Academies," and, for centuries, their institutions taught noble children from all over Azoria.
One of the Academy's most famous students was Aristos; the historian and chronicler of Eloysia and the tutor to King Tilvanos, Queen Lorica, and Emperor Al'Dur Kharata.
The most powerful and influential school in ancient Garuda was the Prestige Academy of Magic, controlled by the wizards of the Iridescent Order.
