The Celestial Academy had existed for thousands of years in the records that scholars maintained and the histories that chroniclers documented. Its Seven Halls were celebrated throughout every kingdom as the sources of the greatest wisdom and the most powerful inheritances. Every disciple who arrived at the academy knew the names of these Halls without requiring instruction. Every elder who served the institution honored the founders who had established each one with appropriate reverence. Every ancient record that could be examined confirmed the same history without variation or dispute.
Seven Halls. Seven Masters. Seven Legacies. It had always been that way since the academy's foundation.
Or so everyone believed.
