Lore
Houses
Similar to Harry Potter, there are different houses within the school. However, unlike Harry Potter, your house also determines what classes you take. In the list of classes, the houses that are required to participate in that class will be listed. If a class does not have any houses listed, that means that all houses can take that class. There will also be advanced classes for older students.
Tygeros
“If the Mind is like a candle, the Heart is like the sun.”
With hearts that burn with fury, Tygeros give everything to their passion. Those in Tygeros are tempestuous, quick to anger, and consumed by whatever drives them at that moment. They tend to walk a fine line. Having great passion and enthusiasm for one’s loves in life is good, but watch out! Passion can burn you up and consume you, leaving nothing but a charred husk of your former self.
Harpysong
“. . . with Persistence, Victory is assured.”
In Harpysong dwell the patient minds. Those who know to bide their time. Harpysongs are all about persistence, slow but steady progression and advancement, like the great glaciers forever sliding across the landscape. Those who are sorted into Harpysong exhibit great patience and strength, but as a result they sometimes become rigid and inflexible.
Wyvernscale
“That which can be imagined, can be achieved.”
Those of Wyvernscale possess power untold, moving heaven and skies with the power they hold. Wizards of Wyvernscale are driven by the thrill of investigation and discovery, the joys of invention and ingenuity, the power of creating and building. The drawback to such pursuits is the tendency to get lost in the maze of thoughts and being paralyzed to make a decision.
Chimeros
“To control the Future, one must look to the Past.”
In fair Chimeros you will find, those who create the past, present, and future using only their minds. Chimeros is imagination. The power of the mind, and everything it can create is what drives them. They take illusion and dreams and make them real. If the Wizard can conceive it, it can be brought forth and even brought to life. Beware, though, for when imagination becomes too fanciful and whimsical, dreams can escape control and run wild.
Satyrhorn
"As we have been Created, so must we Create."
In Gentle Satyrhorn growth awaits. From the tiniest seeds they all life do they create. Satyrhorns are positive, enthusiastic people who seek to appreciate the simple pleasures. At times, however, they can be too flighty or frivolous when circumstances demand otherwise.
Cougarshade
“Timor mortis conturbat me.” (The Fear of Death Confounds Me)
Those of Cougarshade show no fear. Facing down all foes be they man, beast, nor even the end of all things near. Cougarshades accept ending and closure. All things pass eventually, and time cannot be held back forever. They understand this fact about everything around them and strive to face it without fear. They try to make the most of their time. Beware, though; some Wizards become morbid or try to cheat death through undeath.
Tree of Worlds
As stated in the intro post, the Tree of Worlds is similar to what you would call the Multiverse. Of course, with the multiverse in effect, there are dozens of worlds hanging on the branches of the Tree of Worlds. Listed below are some of the known worlds. If you wish to create a new world for discovery, send me a PM and give me some info about the world and its lore/culture.
Nafiara
Nafriara is the world that the Tree of Worlds' seed was created and planted by Grandfather Spider and Grandmother Raven. As such, it is considered the main realm within the Tree of Worlds. Very few creatures here are actually considered to be native to Nafriara, most come from other worlds. In the center of town is where one may see the magnificent sight of the Tree of Worlds. For the most part, all classes that students take are located within the world of Nafriara. However, some classes do take place in other worlds, but most of these classes are for students with more experience than the younger students who are in their first or second year.
Avernus
Avernus is considered the most barren hellscape to have ever existed. It resembles most interpretations of Hell, fire, sharp jagged rocks, and even worse, bone drakes. Avernus is such a dangerous world, that it's completely off limits to students of any age, unless they are actually native to Avernus. The natives are dragon-like humanoids with scales, sharp teeth, clawed fingers, and wings. Avernians aren't actually that bad, but their world's hellish landscape gives them a bad reputation
Lala Land
Humans may think of Hollywood when they hear the name of this realm, but the real Lala Land is nothing like Hollywood. In fact, it's the strangest world of all. The laws of physics here change completely randomly. More often than not, people enter Lala Land by accident, since even the Tree of Worlds is affected by it, the location of the realm moves around the Tree from day to day.
Karamelle
The sweetest world in all the Tree of Worlds, Karamelle is a rich landscape of Gumdrop Forests, Soda Lakes, and Rock Candy Mountains. This is a world of happy Gnomes and Fairies, smiling Hamsters, industrious Nibbelung Moles, and the ever-charming Gobblers. All are whistling away a cheery workday making candies and treats for Nana’s Olde Fashioned Karamelle Delights, the Spiral’s foremost provider of sweets and savories. Karamelle is a world where bad things do not happen, where there is Nothing to fear. So come visit and have yourself an olde fashioned delightful day.
