Have Some TWST Fan Lore Part 2: Corlux Key Seminary

Have Some TWST Fan Lore Part 2: Corlux Key Seminary

Quite literally the largest of the arcane academies, acting as an "all are welcome" paramilitary institution for mages of all sorts. It is revered for its music program, particularly its marching band. - the description that would be on Corlux's in-game info card if it were canon

------------------------

A Very Brief Background

According to legend, Corlux Key Seminary was originally opened by a collective of special forces mages led by a wizard of power so fantastic that he could supposedly create living worlds out of paint and paper. These mages guarded their kingdom of light with such ferocity that they were referred to as 'living locks', which was fairly ironic considering their weapons were shaped to resemble keys.

With that said, however, the lead mage truly believed that people of all talents and backgrounds were welcome to their land if their hearts were 'pure'; after all, unconventional talents had been proved to win the day over and over in the long lens of history. As such, Corlux Key Seminary was created in honor of that wizard and his friends by offering a variety of programs for students to harness their skills.

Tidbits & Trivia

Night Raven College and Royal Sword Academy can bicker about having the power; Corlux Key Seminary is content to boast about having the numbers. There are a grand total of twenty dormitories across the entire campus, though the joke among students is that there are actually twenty-three. This is due to some of the dorms having gotten a rebranding of name some years back, but people will use the new and old names interchangeably. It isn't uncommon for freshmen to be deliberately told to retrieve something from one of the dorms using the old name for it so that they will wander around for hours trying to find it.

Corlux Key Seminary is located in the far north of the Shaftlands; not exactly neighbors with Harveston, but close enough that the more troublesome youth of the town are threatened with being sent there if they don't shape up.

Corlux's inclusivity even goes as far as the dress code; as long as the students are wearing academy-issued attire and it's properly clean, they're golden as far as the rules go. This is actually a selling point for students who are exploring their gender identity, or even just for people who want to wear quote-unquote 'gender-specific attire' just for the sake of comfort. Rather recently, one student even turned down their invite to Royal Sword Academy specifically because 'they don't allow guys to wear skorts/skirts there; hard pass'.

As Corlux is currently under the reign of a fae, all students are granted protection from minor cantrips and spells by what is referred to as a 'pulchra osculum' ('beautiful kiss'). This is a TWST-fan!verse term created by myself which I will explain at a later date, but the basic idea is that it's a minor protection spell.

Corlux is officially listed as paramilitary due to their structure not being fully comparable to a traditional military school, though there is a kind of 'honors program' sponsored by official military institutes from across the nations to help those with serious aspirations for the armed forces. The way to distinguish those students from the general populace is an armband emblazed with a specific crown modeled after a symbol worn by a legendary 'Keywielder', as the military-aspiring students are called.

Even if students do not choose to enlist into any kind of military service upon graduation, they will receive top-of-the-line training for a variety of careers. As mentioned previously, one of the school's most famed aspects is their marching band that has seen several of its former members go on to be professional musicians of some kind.

Author's Notes

As previously mentioned, Corlux Key Seminary is an arcane academy created by yours truly to serve...well, a lot of purposes, actually;

Play around with the idea of what a TWST military school would look like while also having a bit of flexibility for fun

Give the girlies/girlie-identifying folks of TWST a place to be educated since there don't seem to be a whole lot of those in canon (at least from what I've seen)

Place a few extra Kingdom Hearts references into TWST (you mean to tell me that four of the Great Seven are the villains of the Princesses of Hearts, with one of those Seven even being Maleficent herself, because of sheer coincidence? I think NOT, friend!)

Because this is a fanverse for a piece of media, which means we live by the credence 'I did it because I could' xD

This is all in good fun between a small group of friends who are doing something fun with a game we all enjoy. Just let us have our thing and feel free to engage if you like it :)

So... I was wrong... they were never meant to be QPPs. They were always supposed to be romantic partners.

G-d I am fully back in my brain rot y'all. Once I swapped the roles between Ruggie and Trey in Emil's little poly dynamic, bruh everything fell into place on both sides and Im on the floor weeping. How did this go from being a meh dynamic to easily one of my favorite ships so fast?

On that note- How did all of my TWST OCxCanon dynamics become favorites of literally all time????

THE BABIES!!!

So I figured @cyanide-latte could use a bit of a pickmeup, and these two offered to assist... so I couldn't resist.

I mean, truth be told they are one of my current TWST OC related OTPs at the moment. It's honestly a surprise it took me this long to draw them.

Hope this brightens your day even a little bit, sib 💚

The “How is the English version of Twst different? (Character)” Series is complete! Here is a compilation of all posts:

・Riddle Changed ・Trey Changed ・Cater Changed ・Deuce Changed

No compilation for Ace! While he does have his dialogue changed in some places (more here) there do not seem to be any changes with a significant impact on the character.

・Leona Changed ・Ruggie Changed ・Jack Changed

・Azul Changed ・Jade Changed ・Floyd Changed

・Kalim Changed ・Jamil Changed

・Vil Changed ・Rook Changed ・Epel Changed

No big changes for Idia, Ortho, Malleus, Silver or Sebek as of this post!

(For Lilia: he never actually refers to Silver as his son, but this was changed on EN)

Idia’s greatest change might be his stutter, while Sebek and Silver’s use of “-sama” has been removed, but most honorifics in the game have been changed or dropped so that may not count!

(Everything above also compiled on twstnote.com!)
