## Description

Mystic Falls, which was once a hotbed of supernatural events, became one of the few places (if not the only one) in the world where non-traditional magic had no effect (although all magic, including Traditional Magic, was ineffective); therefore, the majority of supernatural species and magical artifacts had no effect in the town. As a consequence of the spell that the Travelers cast to undo non-traditional magic within the town borders, a vampire or a hybrid who entered Mystic Falls would have the magic that keeps them vampires slowly stripped away until they finally reverted to the stage in which they existed before being reawakened as a vampire-- a dead body. They would then die the exact same way they died before reawakening in transition to become a vampire (e.g. drowning, snapped neck, a slit throat, etc.) and will stay dead due to the lack of magic reanimating their corpses.

The magical energy that empowered the Travelers' anti-magic barrier spell, was absorbed by Malachai Parker. As a result, magic can once again exist in Mystic Falls.

## History

Over 1,000 years ago during the Viking era, the Mikaelson Family heard of a mystical land from which the inhabitants were blessed with the gift of speed and strength. Desperate to leave the place they currently lived due to the plague and death of a child, they moved to this land where they lived among the special people as equals. Until one day, when the family's youngest was killed as he snuck out to watch the beasts turn from human to werewolf. This prompted their mother to create a superior race. The remainder of the family fled the village not long after. The magical place was discovered some centuries later in 1860 by the Founding Families and named Mystic Falls.

In *Pilot*, Mystic Falls is introduced as a small, picturesque town located in central Virginia. While nothing much is explained about the town, it is shown that there is a Mystic Falls Cemetery, where Elena Gilbert frequently goes to write in her journal.

After the tomb is opened by Bonnie, the vampires in there try to take back their town, supposedly trying to get revenge on the founding families for putting them in the tomb for 145 years.

## Throughout The Originals Series

### Season One

In *Always and Forever*, Elijah is seen talking on the phone with Rebekah who was still living in Mystic Falls at the time. Elijah also mentions to Klaus that if he were to go back to Mystic Falls it would be a place where everyone hated him.

### Season Three

In *Behind the Black Horizon*, Elijah and Finn are on a rescue mission for Freya who was located by Davina's locator spell since Lucien wanted to go to the original site for becoming The Beast. The brothers run into Matt who tells him Mystic Falls is no longer a vampire friendly town pulling a gun on them. Elijah tells them they are not there to cause trouble they need to rescue their other sister which stuns Matt since he never heard of her before. Matt volunteers to help since it's highly implied he remembers losing Vicki. After the rescue mission is over, Freya and Vincent are taken back to New Orleans by Elijah with a sickly Finn.

### Season Four

In *The Feast of All Sinners*, Hayley and Hope go to Mystic Falls, visiting Alaric's boarding school for magical children. They are seen waving to each other, and Alaric comments that Hope seems to be fitting in.

### Debut In Five

In *The Tale Of Two Wolves*
Due to the spell cast by Markos and the Travelers, Mystic Falls is uninhabitable by vampires and hybrids. The only residents in Mystic Falls are witches and humans. The Travelers also adjust the town line, to accommodate the location in which the spell takes effect.

In the seventh season, the Heretics came to Mystic Falls, what eventually caused Mystic Falls to be a ghost town. Julian had taken over after Lillian Salvatore died and turned it into a party town. However, control is later taken back although the vampires were blackmailed to move out by Matt.

In *I Was Feeling Epic*, Vicki Donovan returns to Mystic Falls for the first time since the collapse of the Other Side. Vicki planned to ring the Maxwell bell and reign hellfire upon Mystic Falls. Despite the attempts of both Damon and Matt to stop her, Matt eventually orders the evacuation of the town due to a "gas leak"; a regular occurrence in Mystic Falls. Vicki is successful in ringing the Maxwell bell and does bring hellfire, however, due to the efforts of Bonnie Bennett, Mystic Falls is not consumed by hellfire. However, the Clocktower is badly damaged, so too are the tunnels connecting Mystic Falls and the Armory.

Furthermore, it is shown that the Salvatore Boarding House is transformed into a school for the gifted young by Caroline and Alaric. The school is named *"Salvatore Boarding School for the Young and Gifted"*.

## The Founder's Council

*Main article: Town Council*
 File:CouncilS03.png
The Founders Council is an association of the Founding Families, townspeople who are descended from the original settlers of Mystic Falls, as well as various municipal officials. Such as Alaric Saltzman. Outwardly, it appears to be a civic organization dedicated to celebrating local history. Secretly, the council's mission is to protect the town from supernatural beings, especially vampires. Journals written by members of the Founding Families describing vampires and how to catch and kill them are passed down through subsequent generations.

### Members

As of Debut In Five, all supernatural beings cannot cross the border into Mystic Falls. But, later in *Christmas Through Your Eyes*, the Travelers' anti-magic barrier spell was absorbed by Kai, allowing all the supernatural beings to cross the Mystic Falls border again.
