Lost & Found:
Quantum Artifact
Lost & Found:
Quantum Artifact
Recently during a demonstration of quantum mechanics in Introduction to Arcano-physics, a one of a kind quantum mineral was lost.
Professor Ruxa informs us that the artifact's location is only certain while being actively observed, otherwise it will exist in a potentially infinite number of possible locations. If sighted, keep your vision of it unblocked until returned. He also warns that blinking will likely interfere with your ability to observe the artifact.
If found, please return the artifact to Professor Ruxa's office on Quandrix campus for a reward of 100gp!
Last year's final match with record-breaking attendance.
LET THE GAMES BEGIN
LET THE GAMES BEGIN

As end of term nears, so too does the illustrious Battle of Strixhaven Championship held annually at the Strixhaven Stadium in the Center Campus. For all of the new students who are experiencing the season for the first time, I'll give you a brief rundown of what it is, but I'm sure you've all heard plenty from your excited upperclassmen and may have even played in some off-season games with peers.
Mage Tower is a game common among students played with two teams of five (though other team sizes are common in unsanctioned games). Each team is represented by their chosen mascot that sits upon high towers at opposite ends of the field. The goal of each team is to steal the opposing team's mascot and transport it back to their home tower, which wins the round. Unsanctioned games and preliminaries are usually played as a best of one, with only one round of play determining the winner.
The Battle of Strixhaven itself is an intramural Mage Tower championship held during the late season of every school year. Games are held in a best of three format. The winners and their supporters get bragging rights for life, not to mention the winning players receiving a full paid scholarship to cover their next year's tuition. Graduating students that are part of a winning team or show exemplary talent are offered a nomination to be drafted to a professional team in the Astral Circuit.
Every year, our esteemed deans and professors invite the student body to field six teams for this test of magical prowess and wits. These six teams consist of both full-time and part-time students, typically all from the same college. With most of last year's students having graduated, there are plenty of spots open still, but act now before they start filling up!
If you think you have what it takes and would like to register for a position on one of the six teams, I encourage you to visit Professor Mavinda Sharpbeak in the Campus Counselor's office near the Hall of Oracles. Professor Sharpbeak is handling registrations, scheduling qualifers for the tournament. She can even help part-time students meet some requirements to be allowed to participate.
Good luck everyone! We here at the Chronicler's Club are as excited as you are for this event! Keep that spirit up and we'll see you there.
Stay Strixhaven Strong!
Grayson's Gossip
Grayson's Gossip
by Grayson Wildemere
Welcome back, Gossipers!
Today, I'd like to discuss the rumors surrounding the missing books from the Biblioplex. Students all over campus are stating that they cannot find the texts they need and that the catalogs have no record of them being recently checked out. Is codex functionality becoming faulty? Is someone stealing these texts? Has the Biblioplex magic waned and instead of filling with magical knowledge began emptying that knowledge? Were those books ever there in the first place? What will the Strixhaven deans do about this to bring justice down on possible perpetrators?
Come back next issue for more gossip, rumors, and questions unanswered in Grayson's Gossip!
