Scholas

Scholas is the kingdom that holds the most intellect. It is is mostly inhabited by angels, Omega Lycanthropes, spirits, and peaceful demons. Rather than having a ruling monarch, Scholas has a council of leaders. The council of leaders consists of six people.

Council of Scholas
The first council leader, being a demon named Malachite, is the most respected and tries to maintain peace in Scholas.

The second is an elf named Aeril, both her and the first council leader of them oversees the archives of Capellus information and the Academy of Aether.

The 3rd council member is an Omega Lycanthrope named Goro. He came to Scholas in aid of the archives. He left the Empire due to internal conflict, and as Scholas was known for its peace, he went there.

The 4th council member is a kinetic aether spirit named Myra. She has lived in Scholas all of her life and reached the highest rank in the AoA during its earliest stages. Due to her high ranking in the Academy, the council's elf took notice and decided she was worthy to be inside of the council.

The 5th member is surprising to most. This member is not just an Angel named Kyrian, but one of the seven on the Angelic Council. He realized that most inhabitants of Capellus are most likely unaware of the events prior to and during Jaysus's conquest, and so with Jaysus's permission, he came to Scholas to add information about the Sanctuary and early history into the archive as long as he could have a position in the council.

The final member of the council is not seen in public often due to his cursed tattoos. This member is a reptilian ex-cultist named Suric who is adept at corrupted aether. Due to how taboo and rare this type is, he was allowed into the council as long as he only sacrificed criminals on death row who were sent in from other kingdoms.

Security and Justice System
The guards of Scholas are the most advanced at aether and prefer non-lethal methods over lethal ones. Once they take down a convict, they either sent them to the Circus, place a sigil on them that bars them from Scholas for a certain amount of time, or they put them on trial. Once they're on trial, they can either be reduced to a slave for Scholas, put into rehab and become instructors for the Academy's declining students, or are outright sent to death row. The last of those options ends in the 6th council member sacrificing them, or he makes them a slave.

Academy of Aether
The Academy is the most advanced school in all of Capellus. This school can improve the academics and aether capabilities of any student drastically. There is a class for each aether type and element. The better you do in the Academy, the more access to information you have. If you start declining, you have to start paying a tuition to stay enrolled, which increases the more you decline. If a declining student improves, their tuition lessens and is eventually nullified. Students have to duel in the Academy tournament that occurs every three months to increase their rank. Those who reach the highest rank achieve access to the highest level of information the Academy has to offer, the archive of Capellus, and the taboo library. The taboo library contains info of demonic aether, corrupted aether, and alternative aether shrouds. The archive contains all lore of Capellus and current events of haurthalessy.

The Prison Of Suric
The prison of Suric is a maximum-security prison off the coast of Scholas that accepts prisoners from any kingdom as long as Suric is notified before the prisoner or prisoners are sent. The prison was an Idea Suric proposed as a way to reduce overpopulation in every kingdom's prison, and to further his corrupted aether research with live subjects. Suric acquired the funding and permission to create this prison with some of the AoA's best earth users because of a bet he had with Malachite. It is still unknown what this bet was since it was done in secret but Malachite describes the bet as a dumb regret he has. The only real way to access the prison besides flight, swimming, or teleportation is the bride of Suric (Suric is narcissistic when it comes to naming things). The bridge is heavily guarded by ex AoA students. There are 10 students in total and each one has a different aether element. There is also an A.M.P tower to negate any intruders aether setting them up for an easy takedown. Those who are prisoners of the POS are either referred to as a number combination they are assigned upon incarceration or their rank, but the high tiers are referred to as their names due to the severity of their crimes. Most kingdoms send their top tier prisoners to the POS due to the POS having very powerful Aether users as staff, and the council of Scholas (some of the most powerful aether users in Capellus) would come if there was ever a breakout. Although some kingdoms take advantage of the whole "overpopulation" incentive and send some petty criminals there as well despite being very capable of sending some to their own prisons. Suric preforms daily siphonings on the prisoners (weekly for the savages and dogs), and has his very own laboratory (funded by the council) to further his corrupted aether research. It is constantly under watch by spies from the council so they can make sure Suric never double-crosses them and to make sure Suric sends his weekly report of his research back to the council for taboo documentation.

Rankings
The POS has many different classifications/ranks that they assign to their prisoners. The low tiers are called low-lives. The low lives get fed daily, have recreational time, and are actually treated pretty decent by the staff. To low-lives are the petty criminals who haven't done anything that wrong, like someone who's done a crime on the same level as a petty thief. The mid-tiers are called dogs. For someone to be labeled as a dog they must've done something on the lines of a heist or treason, even a few murders here and there. If you have committed a murder you will be labeled as a dog or the top tier rank. Dogs are treated more cautiously than low-lives. They only receive an hour of recreational time, their cells are smaller and only have the normal toilet sink and bed, but they are fed the same as low-lives to keep their aether potency up for experimentation. The high tiers are known as savages. The savages have no recreational time. They are belittled by the staff and frequently tortured for their crimes. These savages are only fed a slab of meat each week but get experimented on the most since they usually have the highest aether potency. Some of these savages have been killed by others due to Suric purposely grouping them in twos in small cells. Due to the isolation and the low amount of food some resort to cannibalism or go insane and kill their prison-mates. The savage block of the POS is the worst place in the prison.
