The inaugural day of the Bloodstone Learning Hall dawned under a vast, unblemished spring sky. Radiant beams of light poured through windows that had been painstakingly restored to their former glory, bathing the expansive stone corridors in a gentle, ambient warmth. The air within the halls carried a pleasant mixture of scents, ranging from the sharpness of freshly sanded wood and crisp parchment to the delicate perfume of wildflowers gathered from the nearby meadows.
