Refectory

The Refectory in Walytja Academy is the main gathering area in the school, located off the Entryway. It is a large hall where students and staff dined and came together. Three meals a day are hosted in the Refectory.

This is the main place where students receive meals and mail. It is also where special events, such as the Sorting Ceremony and school dances, are held.

The Refectory has enough space to hold all students, as well as the staff and guests. It has tall walls that reached up to the ceiling, which has prisms to provide light to all below.

At the front of the hall is the staff table. It seats all of the staff, though the places in the center are reserved for the Heads of House and the Director.

Description
The Refectory is a large hall with five long tables where students of each House sit during the day and mealtimes. The staff table is at the front, where all the Walytja staff sits. In the center are the chairs for the Heads of House, each marked with the emblem of their House, and the Director's chair.

From the staff table, the House tables are as follows, from left to right: Amphibian, Bird, Fish, Mammal, Reptile.

The ceiling of the Refectory are covered in prisms, which illuminate the area. When bored people look up, the prisms are enchanted to show various entertaining scenes, from crystalline fish swimming and jumping, to birds soaring past mountains and many other sights, the ceiling's backdrop changing to give the show. Otherwise, it is a non-disturbing cascade of soft-hued colors.

Around the sides of the Refectory are small waterfalls, with different gems suspended in midair instead of water. These are how the Houses keep track of points for good conduct. There are also windows, to make the area feel brighter.

For holidays and special events, the Refectory is often decorated.
