-Mistress Marta (Friends or Foes p38) started running a small dame school in Ongus about fifteen years ago. Her pupils came from diverse backgrounds -- mostly from the children of merchants in the surrounding community, but with more than a few children from more privileged, even noble, backgrounds, and even more poor children and orphans who she took on as charity cases. These good works seem to have attracted some sponsorship and patronage from the wealthy -- nobody seems entirely sure who -- which has allowed her to buy a large warehouse in the Southgate ward of the city and convert it to a larger school. The location seemed perfect to the new owner -- although she would have reconsidered if she had known that the 'church' across the road is, in fact, the headquarters of the Crooked Rooks, the closest thing Ongus has to a guild of thieves.

 What few know is that Mistress Marta has an ulterior motive behind her school -- albeit one she sees as benevolent. Marta is a powerful sorceress, a retired adventurer, who saw the Magical Academies of the south and works towards a day when her school might stand openly among those. For now, she works in secret, taking those pupils who she sees as having the most potential and training them as apprentices. But her school truly is a place of learning for all its pupils, whether they have that potential or not.
