Hogwarts is destroyed. Beauxbatons is in ruins. Durmstrang, the last to fall, is also the first to rebuild.
But what starts as a school struggling for survival quickly becomes a training ground for young Death Eaters - until the Ministry of Magic moves in once again, shattering the fragile peace with new suspicion.
Whose side will you choose? Who will you trust? Who will you betray?
Tue, 13 October, 2009
Cold and windy. Snow is possible overnight, or freezing rain.
The moon is just past half..

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 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.
