The Golden Swordsmen Academy is a renowned training facility for nobles interested in learning the art of the sword. While other establishments may play to their students’ egos, the instructors will have none of that. Those training at the Golden Swordsmen will receive real blows, and – if they graduate – will have a very real competence in the weapons and styles they studied. The Academy used to be located in the Wharf District, but was relocated to the Shield Quarter when the city expanded.
The elven headmaster of the Academy, Gilidan Treesword (Elf Fighter 9) is always looking for new instructors, such as Gruffudd Castlemaine, the young paladin who caused such a stir when his friends and allies defeated the Bloody Axes Gang.
Gilidan is a regal looking elf, but one who has fused the traditions of his people with those of humans. He wears expertly-crafted mitheral chainmail, and wields a beautifully crafted, gold-griffin-hilted longsword. He is a respected member of the community, having adventured with the Griffins Guild for several years before retiring to start his school.
