Location from Volume 3 by Rooster Teeth
The premier Huntsman academy in Vale — host of the Vytal Festival, guardian of the Relic of Choice, and ground zero for the catastrophe that will scatter its students to the four winds.
Beacon Academy during the Vytal Festival is transformed. The campus buzzes with visiting students from Atlas, Haven, and Shade. Banners line the walkways. The dining hall serves cuisine from four kingdoms. The training arenas have been converted into warm-up spaces for tournament fighters. Amity Colosseum floats above, connected by shuttle airships. Beneath the campus, in vaults that most students and faculty don't know exist, the Fall Maiden Amber lies in a life-support pod — her power half-stolen, her life maintained by Atlas technology that Ironwood provided and Ozpin guards. The Relic of Choice is sealed deeper still, behind a door that only the Fall Maiden can open. Everything Cinder wants is here, defended by an academy that doesn't know it's under siege. Beacon Tower — the central spire housing the CCT communications relay and Ozpin's office — will become the focal point of the battle. When the Wyvern lands and Cinder climbs the tower, the spire will become a tomb.
A prestigious Huntsman Academy perched on the cliffs overlooking the City of Vale, decorated for the Vytal Festival with international banners and bustling with visiting students. Gothic-inspired stone buildings with green roofing, dormitory wings, a vast amphitheater, training arenas, and manicured grounds. Amity Colosseum floats above, connected by shuttle airships. Beacon Tower rises at the center, housing the CCT and Ozpin's clockwork office.
