Hogwarts is destroyed. Beauxbatons is in ruins. Durmstrang survives - barely.
But the Ministry has more important matters - like cracking down on Dark Arts, and struggling to contain the seeds of rebellion. They don't know - or don't care - about the rumors of a dark new power arising at Durmstrang...
Whose side will you choose? Who will you trust? Who will you betray?
Fri, 15 April, 2011
Cold and gray, threatening sleet or even snow.
The moon is waxing gibbous.

Dungeons
Poorly lit, perpetually cold, and smelling of mold and rot, these dungeons and corridors house several classrooms and the kitchens. Several areas are rumored to have been used as holding cells for troublesome students, but no one's used them for centuries...we think.

Ground Floor
The front doors of the school open into a wide atrium, lined with ornate stained glass windows, ancient suits of armor, and paintings of famous alumni and patrons. Directly opposite the door, on the far side of the lobby, a wide marble staircase leads to the first landing, with smaller stairways rising from it at that point to take visitors into other parts of the school. Doors also lead to classrooms and the school's Feasting Hall.

The left-hand staircase soars two floors to arrive at the third floor. Many students and staff spend long hours in the library, while others, troubled by broken hearts and rivalries, visit the school counselor in his office. Doors open into other classrooms as well.

1st Floor
The majority of the professors live within the confines of the school. Their rooms are unique, no two shaped or decorated the same, and contain both living space and an office separated by a lockable door. They can be found on various floors of the school.
Professors Potter, Rice, Smythe, Strange and D'Sigismund live in rooms off the first floor.

The Lake
The eerily black, placid lake that is just beyond the school. Come for a relaxing visit, an outing with friends, or a rejuvenating swim after a hard day's work. Just don't dive too deep - mysterious creatures live under the waves.
Out in the center of the lake, the Durmstrang ship, the Leviathan, rides tall upon the waves when not in use.

Graveyard
Magic doesn't come without hazards. While the school does its best to teach its students in relative safety, these are dangerous times, and sometimes people die. At the very edge of the Durmstrang grounds lies a small, tree-lined graveyard, where their bodies rest. The graveyard is warded by spells preventing Necromancy and grave desecration.

Muggle World
Beyond Durmstrang and the Wizarding World exists the World of Muggles. Durmstrang, once a haven for the pureblooded Dark Arts fanciers, now hosts refugees from other schools, including Muggle-born students. And some witches and wizards just like mingling with Muggles. Visit Muggle shops and friends here.
