The training courtyard lies near the heart of Aura Academy. Circular, perhaps two hundred feet in diameter, its stone-paved surface allows for acrobatic work and arms training. Various practice dummies, hurdles, weights, and ropes lie about, ready for the exercise work of the Academy students. The sky is visible overhead past the walls of the Academy, and a massive door equipped with weighty bars stands ready to close off the Academy against a possible aerial attack into the midst of the courtyard.
