Sinegard

Location from The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang

The most elite military academy in the Nikara Empire — a mountain fortress-city where the Empire's future generals, strategists, and weapons are forged, and where an orphan from the south learned that she was the most dangerous thing in the building.

Also known as: Sinegard, Sinegard Military Academy, The Academy
