Academy Barracks

The Academy Barracks was the place in the Knights Academy of Sanctaphrax where Dengreeve Yellowtusk's academics-at-arms[1] and four of the knights academic-in-waiting lived[2]. During the Battle of the Knights Academy, Daxiel Xaxis and his gatekeepers locked the academics-at-arms in the barracks while the slept[3] but they eventually managed to break through[4].

Architecture

The Academy Barracks was a multi-leveled building located on the southwestern side of the Knights Academy, with a southwest-facing massive round window, referred to as the "north window". The southwest wall abutted four of the Thirteen Towers[2]. Its main doors were made of leadwood and the interior was lit by hanging copperwood lamps.[1]

The space of the bottom floor was taken up by drilling infantry; floating sumpwood dummies, tables, and chairs.

A suspended staircase led up to the top floor, which was home to study alcoves that used tilderwool curtains as doors. Belphinius Mendellix's room was located on the northeastern end of the top floor.
