Greetings from the Spelljammer Academy! You have been recommended by one of our peers of your potential and this is your chance to study the art of Spelljaming. Whether you be part of the crew that mans and defends the ship, the spelljammer that deftly flies through wildspace avoiding asteroids or chasing down others, or the captain that rouses the crew or finds a creative means for their goal. We're here to give you the education you need to safely venture into the wild, wildspace. Here at our academy we shall run you through many exercises, drills, and tests to help familiarize one self on a Spelljamer as with having an understanding of the races you may encounter out beyond. Whether those encounters be friendly or hostile, we're here to prepare you, especially for those that have yet encounter any space-faring peoples as well.
But why stop at just wildspace, the astral sea is not out of reach for a Spelljamer. Exploration beyond our realms is always an adventure, full of treasure and equal risk. So head down to the docks of your closest city and show them the seal on the back of this letter, they'll take you to our academy free of charge(All expenses shall be paid out to Bralian Monarchy). From there we'll carry out your orientation. And a quick word from our Academy's Founder to sign off.

Hello all, this is a recruitment thread for Spelljamer's Academy. As per the source, most of the races will be based in the Forgotten Realms setting but that does not mean that the race will be unavailable. Making one's race lore friendly would be easy as saying they come from another world, was made this way, or trying to find out how they came to be. As such, there will be no exemptions from this recruitment, homebrew will have to be discussed as to ensure game balance. The only other things to mention is as it is the Forgotten Realms setting, no usage of backgrounds from

Brief Backstory: Beshlog grew up on a primitive world, surrounded by strong yet simple people. But from a young age, he knew he wanted something more... he wanted to explore the universe, and he wanted to learn about the arcane powers that his people feared. One day, his chance came when he was hunting in the woods and came upon a group of smugglers hiding out on his little planet. He approached them, and, seeing the young goliath's potential and keen mind, they offered him a place in their crew. He learned everything he could from the smugglers, and after saving the captain's life was even gifted a spellbook, which Beshlog cherished as his most prized possession. But eventually, he knew that it was time to move on. Saying farewell to his smuggler friends, Beshlog set off to meet more friends that he could learn from while exploring the vast universe.

Somehow, he wandered into a teleportation portal where he was blasted outside the academy....
