Rutherford Elite Academy for the Magically Gifted
Once an orphanage for young mages, Cornelius Rutherford purchased the home after it shut down following a yellow fever outbreak in 1801. Falling out of love with the prospect of renewing the institute, Cornelius gave the children's home to his daughter, Cordelia, an aspiring magi-scientist. She was enamored by the old orphange and dreamed of turning it into a research institue where science-driven mages could come together and study magi-science together. Following Cordelia's disappearance, the institute fell into the hands of her colleague, Magnus Crenshaw. Devastated over the loss of his friends and wishing to honor them, Magnus turned the institute into a schoolhouse as Cordelia once dreamed for it to be. Rutherford Elite Academy for the Magically Gifted was established. It is a place of learning and home to young mages who need a little extra guidance when it comes to more powerful magic types.
