The Academy of Arcane Arts at Bayard was founded in 277 EC by the brothers Henry and Pierre LaFoilette. The school was built in an old Yadosian militia building, a whitewashed, castle-like masonry with red bricks.
The academy teaches the arts of hermeticism, wizardry and white magic. It is one of the most prestigious houses in the human realms, graduates of the school enjoy great respect among the gifted. Well-known teachers such as Albert Johanson from Hadewald or Anette Brehmstedt from Toran have taught here.
In the time of the Serpent, this school, like all other Bayard institutions, has been closed. Not much is known from Yadosien after this time, however this building is said to be empty. It is said to be haunted.
