Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry - a play-by-post rpg

The year is 1983 in America and the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is the American magical school in America. It is the American equivalent to Hogwarts from the Harry Potter Series. It was created shortly after the Puritans arrived in Massachusetts. When the new students enter they will find Marble statues of Isolt and James (founders) flank the front doors of Ilvermorny Castle. The doors open onto a circular room topped by a glass cupola. A wooden balcony runs around the room one floor above. Otherwise the space is empty except for four enormous wooden carvings representing the houses: the Horned Serpent, the panther Wampus, the Thunderbird and the Pukwudgie.

While the rest of the school watches from the circular balcony overhead, new students file into the round entrance hall. They stand around the walls and, one by one, are called to stand on the symbol of the Gordian Knot set into the middle of the stone floor. In silence the school then waits for the enchanted carvings to react. If the Horned Serpent wants the student, the crystal set into its forehead will light up. If the Wampus wants the student, it roars. The Thunderbird signifies its approval by beating its wings, and the Pukwudgie will raise its arrow into the air. This is how each 1st year is put into a House.

After being sorted out into a house they students will hear the headmaster give a speech to welcome them and mention the high expectations. They will spend the next seven years learning many things such as classes, spells, animal husbandry, frog choir, dueling and Quodpot which is a spin off of Quidditch. Besides classes the student will get involved in a few mysteries as well.
