Magical Readathon | 2022 — Orilium Spring Equinox

I’m a wee late with this, but it’s time to start my first semester at Orilium Academy!! 😀
If that sounds a bit odd, I mean that the Magical Readathon has officially started.

Quickie About the Readathon

This is a month-long readathon created and hosted by G, a booktuber. For background and details about the readathon’s redesign, see my first post about the Novice Path. However, for details on this part of the readathon, see G’s video. The gist of it is:

• There are two semesters at Orilium Academy called equinoxes.
  • Spring equinox = month-long readathon in April
  • Autumn equinox = month-long readathon in August
• The readathon structure is similar to when the Magical Readathon was based on the Harry Potter world and we’d do OWLs and NEWTs, so:
  • Spring equinox — April — one prompt per course
  • Autumn equinox — August — three prompts per course; the number of prompts completed determines the grade you get for the subject
• The courses (prompts) you take are based on the Calling (career/vocation) you choose for your character. There are many Callings but four are exclusive to each guild:
  • Archmage — for House of the Arcane members
  • Master of Elements — for Order of the Crescent members
  • Godseer — for Archivist members
  • Dream Walker — for Mind Walker members
• Optional: Guild Tiers — a way to acquire social status within your guild via points your character can gain by completing semesters, mini readathons, and other tasks like random quests that’ll pop up on the adventure board (on Twitter, for now).
  • Each level on the tier comes with perks for the readathon.
  • Everyone starts at the lowest tier — Initiate.
  • Those who completed the Novice Path last year earned 50 points!
    • (Completing the Novice Path and character creation prompts and all that aren’t required, but you can do it if you want.)
  • Optional: Guild Wars — competition between the guilds
