Laurel, Violanna
Professor and Administrator of Social Affairs. The Animal Magic, Decorum, and Courtly Etiquette instructor. She is responsible for encouraging the students to have any sort of social lives by organizing the Winter Ball. She has a natural aptitude for animal sympathy magic. She has a gentle demeanor, and she generally avoids conflicts unless anyone threatens her beloved Decorum classes or the Winter Ball. She is bubbly, sweet, and thoughtful. She is often underestimated, but is stronger than she appears. Many do not know that she is the third Nianzu, a façade she successfully keeps up with her gentle demeanor and somewhat fluffy exterior.

Valint, Joe
Professor. He teaches Introductory Runes and Magical Ethics. Valint is striking, laid-back, and unflappable. He speaks with a drawl.

Halden, Rui
Professor. She is famous in Norn for her exploits and successes on the battlefield, often referred to as the “Firecracker of the North” for both her fiery temper and quick blade. She is more famous than her husband, Kherif Halden. Much like her husband, she is hot-tempered, impatient, and impulsive. She would rather fight first and ask questions later. When she is not badgering her husband, she is teaching the higher-level Warrior classes, specifically training those who take an interest in Nornese martial arts and weapons-work.
