Drachenwald Academy · Year One Friedrich Vogt An eighteen-year-old village blacksmith's son who has somehow ended up at the most elite institution on the continent. He earned the place through the federal examination. He has never seen anything like Drachenwald in his life. First Impressions Eighteen, of average height and a working-class build — lean but with the shoulder and forearm strength of someone who has been at a bellows since he was small. Light brown hair worn short and practical. Plain unremarkable features. His hands have known forge-work for half his life — small old burn-scars across the knuckles and forearms, callused palms, fingers that move with the precision of someone who has held heated metal at a steady distance from his face for years. His Drachenwald uniform is the standard navy long-coat with cream-white center panel and bronze-gold federal eagle heraldry on the back panels — regulation cut, unaltered, and finer than any cloth he has ever worn in his life. A single plain gold cord at his chest, first-year commoner regulation. Plain black boots, recently issued — his old boots are wrapped and stored under his dormitory bed because they were the only pair he owned for four years and he cannot quite bring himself to throw them away. A small bronze federal officer-cadet token on a leather cord beneath his shirt — the most valuable object his family has ever held in their hands. Origin Born in Hellbrunn-am-Forst, a small federal township in the central Astorian heartland — the kind of unremarkable place that exists because the Federation built it after the Unification Wars. Family run the village forge: his father is the smith — horseshoes, plowshares, hinges, the occasional knife, never a commission for nobility — and his mother manages the shop front and what little there is to manage of the accounts. Two siblings: an older brother already working at the forge alongside their father, who will inherit the smithy in time; a younger sister still in the township school. The forge brings in bread and shelter. It does not bring in savings. Why Drachenwald He took the Federal Officer Cadet Examination at sixteen — the federation-wide annual test that screens commoner youth for the federal officer corps pipeline. The township schoolmaster, an old federal-loyalist named Ehrhardt, identified him at fourteen and fought to get him entered. Lent him the books no one else in the village owned. Wrote the recommendation letter that put his name in front of the provincial federal magistrate. Friedrich placed top of his district. Top decile of the province across all categories combined. He is the only child from the Hellbrunn district to place high enough for a Drachenwald assignment in the last fifteen years. At the Academy Enrolled in the Federal Officer-Cadet Track: federal law and administration, foundational defensive magic, martial fundamentals (bladework, drill, riding), and federal strategy. Specialization track to be selected at the start of Year 2 — officer corps, federal magistracy, or diplomatic service. The cadet scholarship covers tuition, dormitory, uniform, books, and a small stipend. It carries a five-year post-graduation federal service obligation in the assigned branch. He is the first member of the Vogt family — and the first child from the Hellbrunn district in fifteen years — to attend any institution beyond a township school.
