Military academy and company headquarters of Niers Astorgeon — where the world's greatest [Strategist] trains the next generation of tacticians and runs a mercenary empire from a desk he needs a ladder to reach.
The Forgotten Wing Company is one of Baleros's Great Companies, and its headquarters doubles as the most prestigious military academy on the continent. Students come from every species and nation to learn strategy, tactics, logistics, and the art of not dying in a world where a single high-level individual can turn a battle. The campus sprawls through jungle-reclaimed architecture, training grounds, and war rooms where students fight simulated campaigns that sometimes become real ones. Niers Astorgeon runs it all. He's a Fraerling — roughly six inches tall — and the most dangerous [Strategist] in the world. He teaches by humiliation, tests by near-death experience, and has never lost a war. He's also been playing chess by correspondence with Erin Solstice and has fallen for someone he's never met, which is the most Niers thing possible. The Forgotten Wing Company is feared on the battlefield and respected in the classroom. Its graduates run armies. Its enemies lose wars. And its commander sits on a tiny chair and sees everything.
