-The single largest and most impressive Sword School in the whole of the region, its extended training and classes makes it count as a full blown Military Academy in its own right.  First Sword Lord, Lady Jamandi Aldori, a half-elf, who is not only the best duellist in the city but also claims to be descended directly from Sirian Aldori, the original Sword Baron id the honorary chancellor.   Day to Day management is provided by the head teacher, Sword Lord Aldori-Porter.  They still pay lip service to the original Sword Pact, and all senior students who achieve Sword Lord status are expected to add Aldori as part of their name.  Mind you, that is seen as an honour by students and alumni of the academy.

-The Academy includes three smaller schools all operating in the same area, led by their own (more junior) sword lord teacher.  Some are formal, with live in students who enrol for a yearlong package of training. Others are more casual, with live out students and shorter courses.  However, all of them recognise Senior Sword Lord Aldori-Porter as Head Master, and the First Sword Lord as their patron.  Lady Jamandi gives occasional master classes to the whole academy.

 The four Southern Schools are scattered across Riverside, and don’t have a formal court, college or academy. However, Duelling Master Lord Ambu Goffin is seen as their leader and represents them on the Council of Restov.  While the other schools are more popular among Nobles, the southern schools cater to those with less money to spend.
