Day of Graduation

Day of Graduation
The day of graduation was the day when the students of the Academy completed their studies. Males would done ceremonial robes and gather in benches placed against the walls of the hall of Arach-Tinilith. They would sit in silence while circles of priestesses sat in a circle around a large lit brazier. The priestesses would start chanting and the matron mistress of the Arach-Tinilith would call forth the best female student that would graduate in the same year. While the priestesses continued the psalmody, the matron mistress would start coaxing a vivid red smoke from the brazier, which was a potent narcotic that warped the senses, affecting both males and females alike.

The student would strip naked, and at the behest of the matron mistress, she would start an invocation on the brazier that would bring forth a powerful fiend from the Lesser Planes, likely a Glabrezu. Priestesses would start selecting males from the benches and inviting them to lie with them, leading to a sexual orgy that was be nothing but enhanced by the shroud of red smoke pouring from the flames. The Glabrezu is also implied to engage in sexual activities with the summoning student, that could do nothing but to acquiesce to the orders of the matron mistress.

If a male were ever to refuse the advances of a priestess, he would risk her wrath, punishable by death. Despite that,the only concession that may be conceeded was that of privacy, looking for a more private place instead of the multitudinary orgy that took place in the lobby enclosure of Arach Tinilith.

It may be that this is one of the only occasions where draegloths are conceived, begetting half-demon, half-drow offspring like Triel Baenre 's son, Jeggred.
