Origlyph Interpretation and Navigation Guide

The Magical Cartograph of Arthur Royal Institute

The Origlyph is an enchanted origami map in the first pages of the student handbook. When unfolded, it forms a semi-flat magical diagram of the institute's entire internal structure — across eight distinct floors.

How to Navigate:

At the bottom edge of the Origlyph, you'll find a scrollable floor numeral. Gently sliding your thumb across and the number will shift in the visible layer.

Only one floor may be viewed at a time to prevent spatial confusion and magical overload.

Floor Breakdown:

Ground Floor – Central Services

Includes: Grand Gallery, Dining Halls, Archives, Reception, Administration Offices, Medical Wing, and several other departments.

First Floor – First-Year Classrooms and Resources

Second Floor – Second-Year Classroom

Third Floor – Academic Departments

Includes: Faculty Offices, Departmental Libraries, Research Labs, Demo Rooms

Fourth Floor – Third-Year Classroom

Fifth Floor – Fourth-Year Classroom
