The Salem Institute

Main Board | Setting Information | Rules | Character Application | Ads


America. For generations, it was Europe's dumping ground for people from races, cultures, castes and creeds deemed undesirable by those in positions of power. For Wizardkind, it was the repository for mudbloods, half-bloods and blood traitors who dared to rear their heads among purebred society -- the ones they sneeringly decided were not good enough to walk among them. Those were our ancestors, the pioneers. They struggled and toiled and finally managed to eke out prosperity from America's rough and dangerous frontiers.

Nobody here cares about blood purity. While they're waging a grisly, secret war over who can lie the most about their heritage over in England and Europe, we concern ourselves with more important things. Like fast food, pop music, thursday-night sitcoms and money.

But now something new has arisen, a secret cabal that wants to kill off muggles and forever change the face of our world. And the key to their success lies at the Salem Institute. In a desperate attempt to warn the students and faculty of the coming dark times, the school's sentient, prescient lighthouse offers them a cryptic warning - Something wicked this way comes. But will this warning be heeded in time?

American pop culture and Wizarding magic collide at the Salem Institute. We don't take your favorite characters and ruin them; we create new ones and offer them a wonderful and sometimes frightening adventure through the Potterverse. American style. Come and take a look, we have a board full of talented and eager writers who are looking forwards to sharing their talents with you.
