Since the Dark Faction used to be comprised of just clans, there wasn't really a base of operations for all the Dark Clans to gather. At the same time, there wasn't even an official leader of the faction itself.
What those who lived on the Dark Faction's continent did know was which were the top five clans that had far more power over the others and who they chose as their leader.
The system was believed to be set up in such a way that the five top clans could always have one of them representing the top, always in control.
With Murkel taking the position of principal of the academy, the meeting place for the five main clans, as well as all the clan's merchants and kingdoms that operated within the territory, would often be at the academy.
Today was another day when all from far and wide had gathered at the academy. The students were told to stay in their respective dorms for the day, while the courtyard had been cleared.
