ADM TOP 2025: ARBES'DEUM

 

ARBES’DEUM’ is a science fiction tale set in the world of Arbes where Art is a cultural cornerstone of the world that also powers and sustains its society. The story centers around the Arbes’deum festival; a monumental event that arose after the leaders of Arbes defended Arbes from the totalitarian rule of their father who sought to destroy all art. In order to recover the losses of the Art War, the grand Arbes’deum festival was started as an initiative to celebrate the creation of art.

However, beneath these joyous festivities lies a malevolent scheme. Distracted by the festivities, the rulers failed to recognise that a secret alliance has unleashed a dark power. Disguised among the people, they sow seeds of distrust between the world’s five clans and begin to destroy their priceless artworks. With the trust and confidence between Arbes’ clans as fragile as glass, the leaders find themselves preoccupied with a power struggle, unknowingly letting the true perpetrator execute his secret plan.

With the fate of their world at risk, the five clan leaders must navigate a complex web of deception and betrayal, decipher cryptic clues and conduct trials to uncover and convict the one behind it all. The lines between allies and enemies blur, and the clans must confront a harsh truth — You can trust no one.

The School of Art, Design and Media (ADM) presents ARBES’DEUM as our Transitional Orientation Programme (TOP) this year. This will be a fully physical day programme which will take place in-person to allow everyone to experience a warm university welcome. Through TOP, freshmen will have the opportunity to have a taste of the ADM spirit. By the end of it, freshmen will be better equipped with the necessary tools to begin their journey in ADM.
