The Wizard's Sanctum houses the Academy of Arcane Sciences (also known as the Academy of Arcane Arts and Sciences). This vine-covered tower sits in the western part of Stormwind City. For a long time, the Academy was considered to be the second-best school of magic compared to Dalaran, but since that region's destruction by the demons and undead, the northern mages fled to Stormwind and took up residence in the tower. It is full to bursting with mages, and some say it is difficult to get a word in edgewise with the differing opinions inside. Yet, as it is the only magic school left in the east, few complain openly.
