## Hogwarts Castle & Grounds

The Hogwarts Castle was built at the end of the 10th century, in the year 993AD to be exact. Its construction and design was made possible by the unknown architect who assisted the four greatest witches and wizards of their time in this ambitious endeavor.

The castle itself is an architectural marvel, ages ahead of its time. The main building counts seven floors connected by a series of enchanted stairs. A number of towers adds to the grand layout of this structural wonder. Magic supports this large structure making it an impregnable fortress too.

Chosen for its defendable position, Hogwarts Castle was built in a valley deep in the Scottish Highlands surrounded by mountains and protected by the Black Lake to the South. To the West one finds the Forbidden Forest, a place inhabited by many mysterious creatures while the castle itself is located atop a lone hill. The grounds around the main keep are sloping and only three entrances are available for access to this formidable castle.

All threads in the Within the Castle subforum and the Upon Hogwarts' Grounds subforum are restricted in access to Student and Hogwarts Staff characters. Only during cult announced events or with the approval of staff, will adults be permitted in the roleplay threads of these two subfora.

## Within the Castle

The castle holds many secrets for the students and staff to discover. Rumors has it that even the Four Founders don't know the full extend of this castle with its miles of corridor and hundreds upon hundreds of rooms to discover. To make life easy on the new members, the Horcrux staff provides you with a detailed overview of all the threads in the Within the Castle subforum. The pages of those threads here will contain more information along with a roleplay events overview of all important events that occured within those threads.
