===== Look and Feel =====

Chalk timetables and corridor bells set the rhythm under timber trusses. Quiet rows of slate desks, lab glass on drying racks, and workshop benches hewn from crate wood speak to endurance over luxury. Luminofera bands cast an even study glow after hours while dorm wardens pace the walkways. It feels like a steady project camp for youth—part school, part small city—running on rosters, ledgers, and shared purpose in perpetual twilight.

===== Tactical Advice for Dungeon Masters =====
  * **Adventure Hook — The Valedictorian in the Wind:** On the eve of FGE week, the top senior vanishes between study hall and curfew. His bunk is made, locker cleared — but a ciphered set of workshop notes remains, hinting at catalysts and field caches. Whispers name the [[jane_bold_gang|Jane Mendoza Gang]], yet their purpose is unclear: cheat ring, drug precursor, or a bid to unlock war-era stockpiles? Uneasy about a wider plot, the Federal Sheriff quietly deputizes the PCs. Track forged weekend permits, swapped WFB crates, and penciled maplets through perpetual twilight before the exam bell tolls—and the trail goes cold.
