Founders
Sir Herbert
&
Sir Ichabold

|
Sir Herbert and Sir Ichabold founded Dragon Slayers' Academy on a simple principle still held
dear today: Any lad–no matter how weak, yellow bellied, lazy, pigeon-toed, smelly, or unwilling–can
be transformed into a fearless dragon slayer who goes for the gold. After four years at DSA, lads
will finally be of some worth to their parents, as a source of great wealth to their distinguished
academy. * ** ***
* Please note that Dragon Slayers' Academy is a strictly-for-profit institution.
** Dragon Slayers' Academy reserves the right to keep some of the gold and treasure that any student
recovers from a dragon's lair.
*** The exact amount of treasure given to a student's family is determined solely by our esteemed
headmaster,
Mordred. The amount shall be no less than 1/500th of the treasure and no more than 1/499th.
