[close] The great North American school of magic was founded in the seventeenth century. It stands at the highest peak of Mount Greylock, where it is concealed from non-magic gaze by a variety of powerful enchantments, which sometimes manifest in a wreath of misty cloud. There are four Ilvermorny houses, named after four magical creatures: • Horned Serpent – a ‘great horned river serpent with a jewel set into its forehead’ • Pukwudgie – ‘a short, grey-faced, large-eared creature’ • Thunderbird – a creature that ‘can create storms as it flies’ • Wampus – ‘a magical, panther-like creature that is fast, strong and almost impossible to kill’ Where do you fall in Ilvermorny? We are now in league with Mahoutokoro School of Magic

[close] Fort Loyne is an old town, with the eponymous fort having been a major site in a war during the 1800s. The fort itself is actually a "beacon" calling out to supernatural people and creatures, formed from a convergence of telluric currents and intersecting ley lines running under the town, which focus energy into a nexus of power beneath Fort Loyne. Everything from werewolves to gods themselves can be found in Fort Loyne. Here, the paranormal is the new normal. We hope you enjoy your stay!
