Oki doki now for some IMLAD lore >:D
so, when looking on the Sage’s Island map, you might wonder where this island could host such an event for so many schools, while also not displacing citizens?
well, the venue comes to them!
The Island called “Scholar’s Key” used to be apart of the Sunset Savanna continent, however due to a mysterious magical event, the island broke off from the landmass, constantly moving throughout the world.
It’s course changes from year to year, however, people have named each route the same thing. “The Flow Of Knowledge.” This is due to the belief that wherever the island stays for at least 4 days without disruption to its flow, that area/continent is sure to have some sort of magical or historical breakthrough.
The island has inhabitants, and those are the people who plan, invite, and correlate the entire IMLAD event, since they pride themselves on the pursuit of knowledge. (It’s what their island stands for)
They offer internships for magical history, as well as theoretical studies to investigate what exactly caused the island to break off and why breakthroughs across the land correspond to its 4 day “rest period”.
The IMLAD specifically is hosted every 2 years :3
