Ilvermorny School Of Witchcraft And Wizardry

Unfortunately there is very little canon about the school and its transportation systems. Personally I like to think that it employs a number of transportation methodologies, but I am also of the opinion that the actual location of the school would be better suited somewhere in Montana than stay in Massachusetts. 

If you find any canon, please share it with us!

I appreciate this report. I don’t want to make any assumptions as of yet, but we will make sure to make a note of it in case this happens again.

follow the page and whenever we post stuff, use it to help you either learn more about the school or expand your imagination to what is possible in the world.

More of a silly fun school rp page. Welcome!

Ilvermorny is both a fictional middle/high school for witchcraft and wizardry AND there are infinite collages on this school that can be found online.

What a great ask! I had a lot of the same feelings when I was learning about the houses. These two seemed pretty intermingled, and a lot of people might say they are the same things. 

Mainly, the differences have to do with the desires of the heart or soul. Thunderbirds tend to have a more adventurous nature, while Pukwudgies are more attuned to helping and healing. Which is also hard to limit, because you can both want to heal and want to go on adventures. I am one of the many who fall into both camps. At this school, you can choose which house, depending on which ones accept you.

Thunderbirds can tend to be more flighty, because they want to be and feel free. THis can mean forgetfulness, spontenaity, and a pension for mischief- where Pukwudgies are more cautious and low key. Pukkies also tend to be a little more reliable. If they say they are going to do something, it’s going to happen, come hell or high water.

I think one of the many reasons we separate the heart from the soul is that the soul is known for wanting to be free and fly, much like a Thunderbird. They are famous for their inability to be kept in captivity. Only two known wizards have ever successfully captured and tended Thunderbirds before. I believe the Muggles are making a movie about one of them right now...

If you are facing a decision, a Pukwudgie would probably focus more on how their choices will affect their stability and their ability to help others, while Thunderbirds would probably care more about how it will affect their ability to travel and keep their adventures a priority. 

I will also add that, while many Thunderbirds tend to be more outdoorsy and use adventurous in a traditional sense, there are quite a few who use adventure as an internal term, taking adventures of the mind to task, often researching and discovering for months at a time.

Thank you for asking these kinds of questions. The more we have discourse about this, the more we can fill up our world with information about it.

What is a werewolf?

Unlike the way werewolves are presented in most films, werewolves cannot turn into wolves at will. A werewolf can only transform into its wolfish form when it catches glimpse of the full moon, or the moonlight touches its body. When in the wolfish form, the werewolf loses all human sense of right and wrong. If placed in front of their best human friend, they will not know who she/he is until the effects of the lycanthropy wear off for the night.

           Unlike an actual wolf, werewolves are more aggressive and have a general difference in terms of appearance. The tail is more rabbit-like, the pupils are smaller and the snout can be shorter. Werewolves target humans and have very little concern for any other animal.

           When attacked by a werewolf in human form, one would not become a werewolf; one would instead merely posses the traits of a genuine wolf. The victim, for instance, would have a certain fondness for rare meat. Bites and scratches given to a human by a werewolf will leave lasting scars, whether or not the werewolf was in human form or not.

To Become A Werewolf

             When a werewolf’s saliva mixes in with the blood of it’s human victim, Contamination occurs. Contamination is the process in which the blood of a human mixes in with the saliva of the werewolf, it can only occur then. Scratches cannot Contaminate a human, but can leave scars. When this occurs the victim does not become a werewolf.

Government Decisions

Because werewolves are humans at heart but suffer from uncontrollable lycanthropy, they have been flicked back and forth between the basic sorting of Being and Beast for years. The Magical Congress of the United States of America has the Werewolf Registry and Werewolf Capture Unit under the title of Beast, but the Werewolf Support Services, however, under the title of Being.

In 1637, the Werewolf Conduct of Code was written. It was a contract that all werewolves had to sign, signing it meant they agreed to lock themselves up every full moon and never to hurt anybody. Just like the Werewolf Registry, the WCC failed. Those who were werewolves did not want to risk exposing their condition to everyone and thus did not sign.

Ilvermorny in the winter would be snow covered in which teachers would have to clear paths to get to buildings that were not attached to the castle such as the puckwudgie dorms. Icicles would hang off the barren trees turning Ilvermorny into an ice-kissed castle.

Ilvermorny in the summer would be a dull green forest. Hot summer air would turn the fields of grass yellow. The coolest part of the castle was the basement where the kitchens and wampus dorms were. Under the cloudless sky were the fragrant hills of Mount Greylock.

Ilvermorny in the fall would be orange and red leaves falling off the trees. The forests that were draped across the mountain sides were popping with color. The sugar maple trees that surrounded the horned serpent dorms provided the school with the sweetest maple syrup.

Amazing submission by a student! Keep these coming.
