The Ascalon Academy is the training facility of the Ascalon Army. It is located in Ascalon City. Players enter the Academy by accepting the respective offer from Sir Tydus. He will only make the offer once you have received a secondary profession. After completion of the Academy training, you get to see the Searing happening in a cut-scene. After a time warp of 2 years, you find yourself in the Post-Searing ruins of Old Ascalon. The Academy itself is destroyed in the Searing, and the location is used for the Ascalon Arena in Post-Searing.
