๐ House Heads
General Strongarm
Head of House Iron
Retired military commander who embodies Iron's values of discipline, honor, and structure. Strict but fair - he's seen too much war to tolerate petty drama. Students either fear or deeply respect him. Usually both.
Domus FerrumProfessor Fauna
Head of House Briar
Ancient dryad with roots in the Forbidden Forest itself. Maternal, passionate, and fiercely protective of her students. Understands that sometimes you have to make mistakes to learn. Her office always smells like wildflowers.

Teaches students with seer abilities how to interpret and cope with visions. Works closely with Orion Starseer on his increasingly disturbing prophecies. Her classroom is filled with star charts and the smell of incense.
Professor Verdana Lifegiver

๐ Academic Subjects
