-GAME ON: School is just about to start, collect those things and get into action, school will be held off until further notice. Until we have more teachers and the site is more active. Also enjoy those few days before school start, last minute good byes and the whole nine yards.
-LOOKING FOR: Teachers for Hogwarts-including all staff jobs, not taken yet. Also Adults, who live in one of the few places to live. Not to mention, more students! ALSO: We are always looking for our Canon characters, so please don't be afraid to sign up for one, but you will have to follow a life line as to who the character is dating, or where they live, things like that. This site is a remake off an old one, so the older members are living it like they came back from summer.

Keep a careful eye out though, for the keywords!

Elves: The dainty pointy-eared race, somehow more magical than the rest of us.
Giants: Fee Fi Foe Fum... well, there's not so many Englishmen about, but that doesn't mean there aren't giants!
Dhampirs: The part-vampire beings, though just as alluring and dangerous as their full-vampire ancestors.
Werewolves: Mortal enemy of the were-cat, just another reason why you should never pet strange dogs.
Vampires: Creatures of the night, so beautiful and dangerous. Also known as blood-suckers and fang faces... depending on how strong your death wish.
