The mysterious Training Grounds is the starting area of Norman adventurers in Ragnarok Online. Each new Norman adventurer begins their journey on a small island and crosses a bridge to get to the entrance of the castle. The castle itself is split into two parts as a deep ravine runs through the middle. A bridge connects the two parts, allowing Normans to traverse both parts of the castle. Inside the castle are 3 large halls, all of which are populated by tutors ready to teach the newest generation of adventurers.
It is not marked anywhere on the world map as adventurers cannot return once they leave the area. Based on the architecture of the castle and the surrounding areas, it can be inferred that it is part of Rune-Midgarts.
