Ilvermorny was founded over six centuries later than Hogwarts in 1620, and the school started small though magically expanded to accommodate more people. The school officially became a boarding school in the 18th century, and it's reputation slowly grew, soon becoming as widely known as Hogwarts and the other schools of magic. It currently teaches many students, since after all, many are magical in America, and Ilvermorny is considered to be one of the greatest magical educational establishments in the world.




Sorting is a little different at Ilvermorny. The first year students step into the center of the entrance hall with four statues, each representing a house, facing them. When a student steps between them, the statues will react if they want the student in the house while older students watch from a balcony above. Occasionally, though the situation is rare, more than one statues will choose a student, and in that case, the student has the liberty to choose which house they rather be in. After sorting is finished, they are chosen by their wand, which they get at school unlike in Europe.




Ilvermorny is located in a remote part of Massachusetts, and is at the peak of a mountain, disguised as a cloud of mist to non magical folks. This roleplay is set in modern times, for example, today when this is being written, it is August 12, 2016, and so is it that date in the roleplay.
