Earth Training Academies

Two military academies on Earth, mentioned only.

Earth Training Academies first surface in Golden Son as a pair of elite military institutions on humanity’s cradle world, their existence alone hinting at the vast scope of the Society’s martial infrastructure. Across the later books they evolve from mere background detail into strategic assets whose graduates, facilities, and political loyalties become decisive in the Rising’s campaign to topple the Golds. Their transformation mirrors the larger conflict: what begins as an exclusive finishing school for the ruling color becomes contested ground whose control can tip the balance of entire planets.
