The year is 1000 A.D., and the Wizarding World is in awe. Four of the world's most renown sorcerers have finally finished their project. They have built a castle -- no, a school. A school that, for years to come, would house children who wished to learn the arts and skills of the various branches of magic. Godric Gryffindor, Salazar Slytherin, Helga Hufflepuff and Rowena Ravenclaw had built a safe haven for their kind, and the whole world was excited about it.
Everyone knows the story of the four founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. What they don't know is that there was a fifth founder. One who was rejected before the school ever opened, as his ideals were more sinister than even Salazar himself. He had different ideas for the school the five of them built. This man, known as Darwin Draconis, wanted to use the castle not as a school, but as a training facility. Much like the Dark Lord of our time, Draconis wished to rule the wizarding world. It was not a matter of blood purity, but simply of power and fortune. It was these ideals that sparked an argument between the founders, and Draconis eventually attempted to assassinate the other founders. He was locked away for the rest of his life, and left to rot in prison.
Draconis was the only wizard of his time to -- or any time, truthfully -- to master the distant magical arts of time manipulation. He was, after all, a brilliant wizard. Before he was thrown into a cell and left to rot, he cast a spell upon the school. Various parts of the school -- walls, artifacts, floor tiles -- were hit with enchantments that would last for years to come, if not forever. When touched by anyone with a wish to escape the school -- for whatever reason, be it a tiny bit like being hurt and angry and wanting to get away from it, or actually wanting to leave the school -- would be ripped from their time and thrown into a realm created by this master of sorcery.
Now, students and teachers alike, from all walks of time and realities, are finding themselves thrown into this world where nothing exists. There is no one aside from themselves and no way, at least that they know, to escape. They don't even know if a world exists outside of the school's grounds. Little do they know, Darwin Draconis has sent himself to this realm as well, and is plotting to fulfill his greatest desires -- to return to the Wizarding World he knew, with an army of sorcerers, and reign supreme. But, when Draconis lets himself be known, will anyone want to follow this regime?
The game is based loosely off of an old game the mods took part in over at greatestjournal, TMF. We have revamped the story and made it darker and what not. But, at the beginning, the dark wizard Draconis will not let himself be known. He is watching from a distance, watching as the ranks build. The first few months of play will simply be characters getting to know one another, interacting with people they might have never otherwise interacted with. Themselves from different times and realities, ancestors they've never met. Tempers and prejudices are at a high, and there's bound to be some drama. Join today!
