Karga began as a secret school deep within the Giant's Footsteps for the followers of the Prince of Air following his imprisonment by Mother Owl. Over time the school grew a community of outsiders to trade with students and supports operations, and eventually the academia spilled over into the founding of a number of specialized satellite schools, with their own communities for trade and logistical support. Reverence for the Prince of Air still dominates the halls of power within Karga, and those halls remain firmly situated within the academies, but nowhere else on either shore of the Seerbrine Sea boasts such ready access to centuries of arcane tradition.
