Battle Praxium
Purpose
The Battle Praxium (Praxium) is a training organization based in Zoluren. It was founded in Year 442 with the mission to impart combat (read: PvP) knowledge to its participants, as well as the necessary experience to correctly apply that knowledge. "Knowledge by itself is nothing," Rakkor Solari said upon founding the school. "Instead, we strive for combat knowledge correctly applied."
Meaning
prax•i•um (noun, form the Greek /praksəs/)
an institution where knowledge and/or skills are applied or used in practice, rather than in theory alone.
Structure
There are only three designations within the Praxium. Instructors, those who teach. Students, those who learn. Alumni, those who have achieved the goal of combat knowledge correctly applied.

Methodology
Each semester consisted of an 8 week course where Praxium students will learn the in's and out's of PvP combat. From the most basic of concepts to advanced strategies designed to maximize your guild's strengths and capitalize on your opponent's weaknesses, each lesson follows a four-part structure:
- Attitude - mental/emotional approach to PvP
- Instruction - accumulating knowledge of mechanics
- Implementation - practical in-game usage of the learned mechanics
- Application - you learn to fight by fighting
Enrolling
Each lesson is open to public audit, with the curriculum published in advance for those looking to read ahead. Auditors will be able to participate in every aspect of the training, save the Application component. Application of knowledge is reserved for those who have indicated a willingness to accept the sharpening and encouragement that comes from enrolling as a Student of the Praxium. Enrolling is as simple as signing up with one of the Instructors, and then participating during the weekly lessons.
Graduating
A Student graduates from the Praxium when all 8 lessons (which can take place over multiple semesters as necessary) are completed, and they have returned to Instruct one lesson of their choosing. Upon completion of the instructed lesson, the Student receives the honorary title of Alumni.
