Battle of Fort Nobrac

The **Battle of Fort Nobrac** was the first official engagement in the Rebellion of the Stag. It saw House Stroheim secure its place as a threat to House Igsum and the death of the first King of Vina, Arslum "The First" Igsum.

## History

Following disputes between Lord Gustavus Stroheim, Lord of House Stroheim, and Lord of Fort Nobrac and His Majesty, King Arslum Igsum, forces loyal to Lord Stroheim attacked and killed the Royal Architect of the Capital.

Both King Arslum and Lord Gustavus rallied their forces, however Stroheim was able to gather slightly more and gain numerical superiority. Furthermore, the Igsum Army was unable to properly equip many of their forces resulting in a largely peasant force. His Majesty summoned the Order of the Azure led by Sir Tristaen who's small but well equipped Order was able to meet with the King's troops before the combined force marched towards Fort Nobrac.

After reaching the Stroheim keep, the Azure Order approached the nearby bridge cutting off a route of escape and encircling the fortress. However, the Igsum Royal Army began to throw their javelins, expecting a siege, Sir Tristaen called for ladders to be gathered. It was at this point that the larger numbers of Stroheim sallied forth and struck the Royal Army. Quickly the army was overwhelmed and in the fighting the King, Arslum the First, was downed and executed ending his 3 week rule.

Drastically outnumbered and with the Royal Army either dead, down or fleeing. The Azure Order fought a fighting retreat, causing a few casualties before also fleeing the field.

Despite some intense fighting and commendable work at rallying forces for both sides, the Battle of Fort Nobrac proved to be a complete Stroheim victory.

The aftermath of the battle would see the controversial Sacking of Stroheim as well as the death of the first King of Vina and first Igsum King. It also led to Stroheim entering into a state of Rebellion along with House Bayern who joined them.

## History

***Daron Brightroar***, also known as **"The Spoiled Cub"**, is known as Lord Damon Brightroar's youngest brother. Daron grew up around his oldest brother's riches and wanted for nothing as a young cub, which led him to be selfish and deranged, and filled with a poisonous lust for power and approval.

House Seaborn

House Seaborn's coat of arms

Lord Petyr Seaborn

Sir Argon Seaborn

Sir Dalton Kraken

House Seaborn was founded by Arthur Seaborn. House Seaborn's arrival to the lands of Vina were led by Lord Maximus Seaborn and Leo Seaborn, 2 ambitious bothers wanting to expand their houses lands. The House came to an end when Lord Petyr Seaborn, disbanded the house and joined the Vinian Royal Guard and pledged to serve House Dresari as they were the ruling house at the time. The blood of House Seaborn still lives on in Petyr Seaborn and Argon seaborn, again two brothers who's future is yet to be decided.

House Seaborn traces its origins to the original people of Vina, the first settlers. Founded by Arthur, a Footman in the Kingdom of Raxoria who had a fondness for the ocean and always dreamt of exploring, when the collapse of Vina was upon him he got himself and a few friends to the new land, a home for new lives far from the chaos of his homeland. Arthur would live to become a Knight. He would eventually want to follow his lifelong dreams of exploration and he took a boat and sailed into the distance. Leaving everything behind. He would set up a small colony on a far away island and would take the name Seaborn to honour the ocean which had harboured him on all his greatest journeys. He would eventually pass away and his son would take over. Like his father his son would leave the colony and go on and explore where he would find a land and he would create a knightly house in honour of his father settling by a river to be close to the water which was so special to his family.

Family Tree:
Arslum Igsum

Lord **Arslum Igsum** was the first Archon (title for Lord used by House Igsum) and later the first King of Vina.

## History

Lord Arslum joined the Realm during a tumultuous time, many Noble Houses were openly at war with alliances being made and broken regularly and a fierce religious war between two sects of the Church of the Great Rock. Into this period of fighting arose House Igsum.

House Igsum, under Lord Arslum, called all the great lords of the land together to discuss a peaceful resolution to the numerous conflicts. In this Great Council of 105, it was decided that the majority of wars and hostilities would end, with the Church of the Great Rock being demilitarised. However as the proceedings came to an end, Lord Arslum made it clear that he wished to unite the realm as a Kingdom with himself as King. As the battle lines were drawn in this First Crown War, the two main claimants were House Frost and House Igsum itself.

Following a fierce battle, House Igsum was victorious and Lord Arslum was named as *King Arslum "The First" Igsum.*

As tensions between House Stroheim and the Crown House Igsum escalate over claims that the King had failed to grant territorial concessions and financial support promised from the Crown War to the Stroheim's for their involvement on his side, it all comes to a head as mixed reports of soldiers and serfs from both sides attacking those from the other side expanded. While history cannot point clearly to who struck first, what is known is that these small skirmishes had rapidly deteriorated relations between these once allied Houses.

This would lead to the events of the Battle of Fort Nobrac, where King Arslum I was slain and Prince Arslan, son and heir of King Arslum, assumes his father's Throne as King Arslan Igsum, First of his name, King of Vina, Lord of Capital City, and Archon of House Igsum.
Benedict Igsum

# Sir Benedict Igsum

> Make no mistake, for those who dare traverse my untamed realm, I now proclaim it loud and unyielding: you are subjects of the Outlaw King. In my audacious might, I shall impose a levy upon your very existence within these rugged lands. This is not a request but a ruthless demand—an offering, a tribute to the untamed dominion that bows to no throne but mine.
>
> Sigeberht Igsum, Castle Drakwald

## History

#### **The Ascension**

Prince Sigeberht's journey began as the Crown Prince of House Igsum, a legacy etched in the annals of Vina. The kingdom, under the rule of his father, King Arslan the Uniter, faced internal strife and the impending storm of a civil war. Crowned with the weight of responsibility, Sigeberht stood at the crossroads, torn between duty and the call of rebellion.

#### **Defiance and the Drakwald Gang**

In the crucible of chaos, the kingdom crumbled, and House Igsum faced dissolution. Prince Sigeberht, forsaking the path of a ruler, embraced the mantle of an outlaw. Forming the infamous Drakwald Gang, once loyal retainers transformed into audacious bandits, wreaking havoc against those who sought to erase the legacy of House Igsum.

#### **Death of the Usurper**

The climax unfolded on the 63rd day of Year Three, when the Outlaw King confronted Gustavus Stroheim in a battle that resonated through the corridors of history. With the recovery of the revered "King's Blade," Sigeberht orchestrated the execution of the usurper within the ancestral walls of Castle Drakwald—a resounding act of justice reclaiming the throne.

#### **First Siege of Drakwald**

Following the death knell of House Stroheim, House Dresari sought to fill the power vacuum. The first siege of Drakwald saw the Outlaw King and his loyalists standing against the forces of change. Defying the odds, they held firm, displaying unyielding resilience in the face of adversity, as the kingdom witnessed the rebirth of House Igsum's indomitable spirit.

#### **The Proclamation of the Outlaw King**

As Vina grappled with political turmoil and shifting allegiances, Sigeberht, with audacious might, declared himself the Outlaw King. The untamed wilderness became his dominion, enforcing taxes on those who dared venture into the rugged lands. The saga of House Igsum continued, with the Outlaw King rewriting the narrative, leaving an indelible mark on the landscape of Vina.
House Ramazanid

House Ramazanid is a minor house in Vina.

## History

House Ramazanid was founded by Emir Ramazan Ramazanid, A man who came from distant lands, from the desert city Setark' Emid, arriving to Vina during the later 4th generation. At the early stages of adulthood. Ramazan would bring forth his people, desert and steppe nomads, who would find a new home in Vina. Their people would call themselves 'Ramazanids' and 'The people of Setark' Emid.

## Recent Events

### The mass migration to Vina

After landing in vina, Emir Ramazan would spot James I of Frost-Allsop, the lord of what was once Frost-Allsop, south of the continent of Vina, outside Fort Frost. There, he would greet him, as hordes of nomadic tribemen would stand behind him. After a lengthy discussion, Emir Ramazan would throw his iron dagger onto the map of Vina, marking the Personal union between the Ramazanids and Frost Allsop, as they would unite to make House Frost-Allsop-Ramazanid. His people would now move near Frosthelm, as Emir Ramazan would mark a new age for the people of Setark' Emid.
House Stoneheart

House Stoneheart's coat of arms

**House Stoneheart** is a noble house within the Kingdom of Vina. While being relatively new to the realm, it has historic roots through previous members such as those who served within the Royal Guard with Lord Ulric's brother having served as Knight Commander of the Vinian Royal Guard.

## History

Having once landed within Vina long ago, the Stoneheart family was not considered nobility at all and was instead a simple family of commoners. This small family found themselves converting to the local faith at the time, the Church of the Great Rock.

Due to a particularly harsh winter, the family was forced to leave their home to search for other lands, however they never truly found somewhere to settle. Becoming nomadic they travelled from area to area living off the land and inviting in new families and members as they went, often adopting orphaned children or giving what little food and bed they had to welcome others to their small band.

Adorning themselves in chequered tartan, they began to become a more organised group and society always staying true to their faith and spreading the word of the Rock wherever they went. They frequently allowed members to leave their band and head on pilgrimages, it was through this pilgrimage that they heard of the changes and return to life in Vina.

As a younger man and leader of the band, Ulric Stoneheart prayed for wisdom for seven nights, on the final night he heard a voice whisper the word "home" and then felt a bite, as he looked down, he saw that a snake had bitten him but rather than die from the bite, the snake shrivelled and turned to stone. Seeing this as his sign, Ulric returned to his band holding high the snake wrapped in his tartan kilt which he proclaimed would be their banner as they marched back to Vina as House Stoneheart.
Nonverbal spell

A **nonverbal spell** was a spell which was performed without the casting wizard or witch speaking the incantation aloud. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry began teaching nonverbal magic to students in their sixth year in Defence Against the Dark Arts, Charms, and Transfiguration; the students were expected to use spells nonverbally from then on.

## Performance

Performing spells non-verbally was very difficult and required a good deal of practice, as it required concentration and mental discipline alone. Harry Potter noted that several students in his class looked "*like they had received an overdose in U-No-Poo*", (a product of *Weasley's Wizard Wheezes* that caused constipation), while attempting nonverbal spells.

Different wand-woods might also affect the performance of casting non-verbal magic. Many wands made from Dogwood were rather noisy, and refused to perform non-verbal magic, whereas wands of Pine were some of the most sensitive to non-verbal magic. Willow wands possessed a well-founded reputation for enabling advanced, non-verbal magic, but of all woods, Alder was known as being the best suited for non-verbal magic.

### Effectiveness

Some spells, such as *Levicorpus*, were easier to perform nonverbally than others. Most spells, however, seemed to be less effective than normal when the incantation was not said. For example, according to Hogwarts nurse Poppy Pomfrey, the unnamed curse that critically injured Hermione Granger during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries might have been fatal had Antonin Dolohov not been silenced when he used it.

## History

Sir O'rian killed Lord Damon IV Brightroar sometime during Year 4 shortly after him and some of House Brightroar's men broke into the Church of Sol located at The Capital.
Unsupported flight

This form of **flight** (*incantation unknown*) was a spell that allowed a witch or wizard to fly without the use of a broomstick or other form of support. The spell was notably demonstrated by Lord Voldemort.

## History

### Early attempts

Attempts to fly unaided had been made by wizards since ancient times. Levitation had been possible at least since the invention of the Levitation Spell in ancient England, and an attempt to improve upon this and achieve true flight made by Jarleth Hobart in 1544 led to the invention of the Levitation Charm. The flying broomstick, which allowed wizards to fly with relative ease and convenience, was invented around 962 A.D., and seemed to satisfy most wizards' desire to fly. Unaided flight of a human being, however, was long considered a magical impossibility, discounting any animagi whose form take on flight-able species.

A rare example of a wizard flying unaided happened in 1926, when the Obscurial Credence Barebone unleashed his pent-up abilities, transforming into his Obscurus form and flying around New York. However, for obvious reasons, this was far from the secret sought by wizards, since it was impossible to control by the wizard himself and an incomparable symptom of a deadly condition.

### Discovery

Sometime prior to 1997, Tom Riddle succeeded where most other wizards had failed and managed true flight. He first publicly demonstrated this ability during the Battle of the Seven Potters, using the spell to great effect and almost managing to defeat Harry Potter while he was fighting him from the sky. It was likely that he would have killed Harry if not for an odd reaction involving their wands.

### Later uses

Following his discovery, Riddle taught this spell to his supposed servant Severus Snape, who used it to safely escape from Hogwarts shortly before the Battle of Hogwarts. While forced to share Quirinus Quirrell's body in 1991-1992, Riddle had also apparently taught the secret to Quirrell, likely for his own convenience.

After his death, Riddle's daughter, Delphini, mastered the use of this ability as well, although how she did so without him to help her is unknown.

## Nature

Unsupported flight was different from levitation, which only allowed objects to fly a few feet off the ground and did not work on humans. Unsupported flight was specifically designed for human use, giving one the ability to fly far up without the aid of an object. It is unknown how long a person could stay airborne or if it worked over vast distances.

## Known practitioners

* Lord Voldemort (creator)
* Quirinus Quirrell
* Severus Snape
* Delphini Riddle
* Alexandre Durand
House Frost

House Frost's coat of arms

House Frost is led by Lord James I Frost-Allsop due to his cousin, Lord Richard Frost falling ill and being unable to continue leading House Frost

Motto: "Mori quam foedari."

## History

Withstanding the test of time, the Frosts trace their roots to the very beginning of Vina's population, with it being the founders of the Religion of The Great Rock.

Frosthelm was the ancient seat of the first Lord Frost, with his descendants ruiling it until the migration to a new land by Earl Nobby Frost.

The ancient dynasty of Frost has many cadet branches formed from its many heirs, including the Praetorian's, Brightroar's and Allsops. The great dynasty of Frost's last direct heir is the former Lord Richard Frost, who left his realm to his cousin, Lord James I Frost-Allsop, head of a cadet branch of the main dynasty.

## Recent Events

### War of the 3 Kings

Lord Frost fought against the Igsum and Stroheim pretenders in a doomed battle to secure the crown, losing to the Igsum alliance.

### *Retirement of Lord Richard Frost*

Lord Richard Frost retired in the 3rd year due to ailing health, leaving his cousin, James I Frost-Allsop to rule in his stead.

### Loss of Planchet Farm

Lord James I Frost-Allsop challenged the Lord Daemon Brightroar to a duel over his ancestrial land of Planchet Farm, with James I Frost-Allsop assigning his squire, Jon Frost-Allsop as his champion. The squire was quickly slain by the Lord Brightroar and the farms ceded to him.
Non-magic world

The **non-magic world**, also known as the **Muggle world** in Great Britain and the **No-Maj world** in the United States of America, was a society in which non-magic people lived and interacted separate from wizarding society. The two communities were kept separate through the wizard's use of charms, spells, and secrecy. Non-magic people were forbidden by wizards to know anything about magic due to the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy in the wizarding world which was governed by Ministries or Councils of Magic, sparing some relatives of wizards such as parents and spouses.In Muggle Studies at Hogwarts, students learn about the non-magical world

## Government

The non-magic government was very different from that of the wizarding world. The British Muggle world was nominally headed by the King or Queen, but he or she did hold little power in practice. The reigning Queen in the 1990s was Elizabeth II. The Prime Minister was the central authority of the Muggle government, and there were other ministers heading different departments. The Muggle government maintained numerous departments and offices and was highly organised and efficient

## Notable Events

The Occupation of The Capital

House Kuvell is lead by Lord Icarus Kuvell with Sir John Kuvell as his direct heir. Residing in the stone keep of Violetstone, Icarus Kuvell and his household protect the serfs & freemen under them.

## History

Long ago in the times of ancient Vina stood a noble house by the name of House Apeiros. It had a rich and powerful history spanning many years but as times grew tougher in the region they were forced to board vessels and travel to new lands to explore, colonize and survive. These journeys were not kind however and through the decades the Lords of Apeiros slowly died one by one until the lineage came to an end.

Yet all was not lost, a female of the Apeiros line took a husband called Sir Yonas Kuvell and although much of the memory of Vina was lost, this new family was able to grow while travelling in other lands. It was while in these lands that word of Vina came to the Kuvell's and with vague recollection they checked their ancient documents. Seeing an ancestor linked to the Apeiros and to Vina, they saw that they were not in fact a nomadic House but had a homeland, one which they could at last return to.

The House of Kuvell is most notably known for it's vast militia formed of serfs & freemen. When House Kuvell is not at war, it produces bread from the Riverside Mill for the realm, and maintains a hefty stockpile for winters to allow even the poorest of Vinians to eat during those cold months.

## Recent Events

### *The War of Two Dukes*

House Kuvell came to the aid of House Dresari at the last moment, to fight against the werewolves that House Brabant attempted to use to steal the crown away from the former Lord Chancellor, Devon Dresari. Lord Icarus Kuvell mustered 23,000 (23) militiamen to assist.

### *The Occupation of The Capital*

In the eerie silence that was now The Capital of Vina, House Kuvell rallied to stop House Brightroar from ascending the Throne, to become King of Vina. House Kuvell had 18000 men, while House Brightroar had only 9000 men, among them a few thousand of House Frost, and House Exaltos. House Stoneheart had brought 7000 of their own men, to support House Brightroar, but upon hearing Lord Icarus Kuvell state that he would not let House Brightroar ascend the Throne of Vina, Lord Ivar Stoneheart decided it was in both his, and the realms interest to support House Kuvell. The ensuing battle resulted in the death of nearly 8000 men on House Brightroars side, including the heir to House Brightroar. Lord Damon II Brightroar was spared from the blade by, now King Icarus Kuvell.
Educational Office

The **Educational Office** was an international regulatory body, subject to the International Confederation of Wizards. The eleven long-established and prestigious wizarding schools around the world were registered with the Office, and those wishing to know if there was an approved school of magic in their region could send an owl to the Educational Office.
Paris

**Paris** is the largest city and capital of the country France.

## History

The wizarding hat-maker Madame Bonhabille was based in Paris in the late 19th century. Headmistress Eupraxia Mole commissioned her to make a bespoke hat for Peeves, the resident poltergeist of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, as a conciliatory gesture in the wake of then-Hogwarts Caretaker Rancorous Carpe's attempt to get rid of him.

In the 1920s, the wizarding community in Paris was quite glamourous and beautiful. It was much freer than in New York and was similiar to the wizarding community in England. In the 6 December 1926 issue of *The New York Ghost*, it was reported that an international manhunt for Gellert Grindelwald was underway in several cities, including Paris.

In September 1927, Newt Scamander travelled to Paris to find Credence Barebone. This happened on Albus Dumbledore's orders.

According to himself, Victor Ketsueki attended all-night parties in the catacombs beneath Paris after he was allegedly turned into a vampire during the summer of 1990.

Vernon and Petunia Dursley took a holiday to Paris at some point.

The Which Witch? fashion show took place in Paris in early 1992. It was attended by London clothier Madam Malkin, who closed down her shop while she was away.

The *Daily Prophet* once reported in its section on international weather that it would be 21° in Paris.

Remembrance Charm

The **Remembrance Charm** (*Meminiate)* is the counter-charm to the Memory Charm, and undoes the erasure of specific memories from an individual's mind.

## Description

The counter-charm is only able to restore one's thoughts and/or memories, as long as the Memory Charm was correctly applied to the victim.

## Etymology

The incantation "*meminiate*" is be derived from the Latin *Meminisse*, meaning "to remember".
Ardennes

The **Ardennes** also known as the **Ardennes Forest** is a region of extensive forests, rough terrain, rolling hills and ridges primarily in Belgium and Luxembourg, extending into France. It is also the home to the House of Durand and the Ardennian Scalecrest dragon.

## History

The ardennes was first inhabited by Gallic tribes before becoming Roman. Afterwards it was Merovingian before being part of the Stavelot–Malmédy abbey (747-1770), the Austrian Netherlands (1770-1790), the United Belgian Countries (1790-1792), France (1792-1815) and the Netherlands (1815-1830).

Some time before 1889, a Hogwarts professor holidaying in the Ardennes discovered a mysterious Jewel-Encrusted Tortoise Shell and took it back to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, placing it on display in the Faculty Tower at the school
Ministry of Magic

A **Ministry of Magic** was the primary governing body of the magical community in many countries. Headed by a Minister for Magic, a Ministry of Magic was responsible for regulating and enforcing laws for the magical community, as well as keeping said community hidden from the Muggle world.

In Great Britain, at least, the term "Ministry of Magic" seemed to be synonymous with "form of wizarding government", since the term was, on occasion, loosely applied to also refer to the Wizards' Council that preceded the British Ministry.
Draconifors Spell

The **Draconifors Spell** (*Draconifors*) was a transfiguration spell used to transform objects into small dragons.

## History

It was developed by the Durand family in the early 1500s.

This spell was taught in third-year Transfiguration class by Professor Minerva McGonagall, during the 1993–1994 school year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Hermione Granger easily mastered how to cast this spell in class.

There was also a spellbook which contained information on the casting of this spell.

## Effects

The Draconifors Spell transformed the target into a dragon. However, it was only a very small transfigured dragon, around the size of an infant, significantly limiting its potential for violence and breathing fire.

## Etymology

From Latin "*draco*", meaning "*dragon*", with the -fors suffix attached.

## Behind the scenes

* It is possible that this is how the Model dragons used in the First Task of the Triwizard Tournament were created.
House Galencourt

House Galencourt's coat of arms

House Galencourt was founded by Lord Argon Galencourt alongside his first born son and heir, Ser Feydrid Galencourt who became a drunk at the local tavern, forcing Lord Argon to choose his third born, Ser Lamorak Galencourt as his rightful heir. House Galencourt is currently led by Steward Floris de Vries

## History

Lord Argon I Galencourt was slain by the heir of House Brightroar, Veran Brightroar. Among the men killed by Brightroar that day were serfs and freemen of both House Galencourt & House Bayern. On Y3 D136 Lord Argon II Galencourt was captured by Lord Icarus Kuvell and ransomed to Lord Damon Brightroar for 25 copper coins. He later executed by House Brightroar, leaving Lord Argon III Galencourt as the Lord of House Galencourt, however he is too young to lead so Steward Floris de Vries is currently leading House Galencourt

On the 146th day, Year 3, House Galencourt was approached by a passing force of 4,000 House Brightroar men, including Lord Damon Brightroar, Ser Veran Brightroar and Daron Brightroar, who had rode to House Galencourt to witness how much construction they had managed. While dismounting, javelins were thrown from the wall of House Galencourt towards the passing army which instigated the battle, striking at least one Brightroar soldier, who had lived due to their extreme resillience and determination in the face of adversity. In response, The forces of House Brightroar had retalliated by entering Galencourt's plot, slaying all 7,000 Galencourt men, 2,000 of which's bodies were too mangled to be carried (logged). This event would hereby be known as the Slaughter of Galencourt, or the Rains of Galencourt. Famously known for the 0 casualties suffered by House Brightroar as they had cornered, and killed all House Galencourt soldiers using their famous speed and agility to outmaneuvre their enemies.

Lord Steward Michiel de Vries was killed in single combat by Veran Brightroar, the natural born son and heir of Lord Damon Brightroar. Who has inflicted many notable casualties towards the lineage of House Galencourt.
Captain badge

The **Captain's badge** was a distinctive sign on the Captain of the Hogwarts Quidditch teams.

## Description

Like Prefects, Hogwarts Quidditch Captains were given a silver badge to wear on their school uniform, and on their Quidditch robes when they were playing in a match or practising. However, a prefect on the Quidditch team would not be required to wear his or her prefect badge on his or her Quidditch robes. The captain's badge was suspected to have the letter 'C' on it for 'Captain', as the prefect's badge had 'P' for 'Prefect', and the Head Boy's and Head Girl's had 'HB' and 'HG' respectively.

## History

Oliver Wood was seen wearing the badge in the 1991–1992 and the 1992–1993 school years when he was captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team.

Harry Potter received the badge with his letters and book lists from Hogwarts in the summer holidays of 1996. Ron Weasley stated that Charlie Weasley used to wear one during his captaincy of the Gryffindor Quidditch team. Harry wore the badge in the Gryffindor common room where Katie Bell saw it and joyfully remarked that she had predicted him would get it.
Chaser

**Chaser** is a position in the wizarding sport of Quidditch. There were three Chasers per team. The Chasers controlled the Quaffle and attempted to get it through the goal hoops past the Keeper.

Each goal was worth ten points. This made them similar to the forwards in football, as the game was generally started with the referee releasing the Quaffle into the air for the Chasers to try and claim possession of.

## History

The Chaser was the oldest position in the game of Quidditch, as the purpose of the game once consisted solely of scoring goals. They were formerly known as *Catchers* in the early days of the game.

The one major change to the role of the Chaser was in 1884 when the rules were changed that allowed only one Chaser into the scoring area while trying to score a goal. This was done in an effort to stop Stooging during a game. Two other fouls that could be committed by Chasers were Haversacking and Quaffle-pocking.

Chaser Dragomir Gorgovitch of the Chudley Cannons held the record holder for the most Quaffle drops in a season. Chaser moves in the modern game of Quidditch included: Hawkshead Attacking Formation, Parkin's Pincer, Porskoff Ploy, and Reverse Pass.

## Traits

Chasers were generally considered the most exhilarating to watch by spectators during a Quidditch game, at least until the Golden Snitch had been spotted. Chasers were typically swift and agile flyers (second only to the Seeker).
Headmaster

A **Headmaster** or **Headmistress** was an individual who headed the staff of a school, be it Muggle or magical. They had the final say on the safety and the day-to-day functioning of the school; though at Hogwarts, this was with the possible exception of the Board of Governors, and, during the 1995–1996 school year, the "High Inquisitor".
Rosier family

**Rosier** was the surname of an old pure-blood wizarding family, and one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight. The family possibly originated in France. They were related to the wizarding Lestrange, Perrot, Gage, Black, and Malfoy families and the Muggle Tonks family, and more distantly to the Lupin and Greengrass families. Also, the female line also continues, at least illegitimately, through the Riddle family, of Muggle origin but with some magical members.

Given these relations, as well as the participation of one Rosier in the Global wizarding war as a Grindelwald acolyte, and later two Rosiers in the First Wizarding War as Death Eaters, it is likely that the Rosiers placed great importance on their pure-blood heritage. They most likely felt disdain for Muggles and Muggle-borns, and practised the Dark Arts.

## History

It is likely that members of the Rosier family had thick eyelids, as two of the daughters of Druella Rosier and Cygnus Black III were described as having "heavily-lidded eyes" by Harry Potter. It is unlikely that this is a characteristic inherited from their father's side as no mention of this physical feature was ever made in relation to any member of the Black family.

By the 20th century, the family had branched out of France, and into Great Britain.

## Known family members

* Minette Rosier — wife of Corvus Lestrange II and mother of Manon Lestrange, Josette Lestrange, and Corvus Lestrange III.
* Vinda Rosier — a witch who lived in the early 20th century and was one of Gellert Grindelwald's most loyal acolytes.
* Rosier — a wizard who was one of the earliest Death Eaters.
* Druella Black née Rosier — wife of Cygnus Black III, mother of Bellatrix Lestrange, Andromeda Tonks, and Narcissa Malfoy.
* Evan Rosier — a Death Eater who died in the First Wizarding War.
* Felix Rosier — a Slytherin student made Prefect in the 1980s.

## Behind the scenes

* The inclusion of the Rosiers in a French family tree of the Lestrange family suggests that the family originated, or had branches in, France.

## Etymology

*Rosier* is French for "rose tree" or "rose bush" and is a common surname in Francophone areas. It is also the name of a fallen angel who was considered the patron demon of tainted love and seduction.
Sigeberht Igsum

# King Sigeberht Igsum

> Make no mistake, for those who dare traverse my untamed realm, I now proclaim it loud and unyielding: you are subjects of the Outlaw King. In my audacious might, I shall impose a levy upon your very existence within these rugged lands. This is not a request but a ruthless demand—an offering, a tribute to the untamed dominion that bows to no throne but mine.
>
> Sigeberht Igsum, Castle Drakwald

## History

#### **The Ascension**

Prince Sigeberht's journey began as the Crown Prince of House Igsum, a legacy etched in the annals of Vina. The kingdom, under the rule of his father, King Arslan the Uniter, faced internal strife and the impending storm of a civil war. Crowned with the weight of responsibility, Sigeberht stood at the crossroads, torn between duty and the call of rebellion.

#### **Defiance and the Drakwald Gang**

In the crucible of chaos, the kingdom crumbled, and House Igsum faced dissolution. Prince Sigeberht, forsaking the path of a ruler, embraced the mantle of an outlaw. Forming the infamous Drakwald Gang, once loyal retainers transformed into audacious bandits, wreaking havoc against those who sought to erase the legacy of House Igsum.

#### **Death of the Usurper**

The climax unfolded on the 63rd day of Year Three, when the Outlaw King confronted Gustavus Stroheim in a battle that resonated through the corridors of history. With the recovery of the revered "King's Blade," Sigeberht orchestrated the execution of the usurper within the ancestral walls of Castle Drakwald—a resounding act of justice reclaiming the throne.

#### **First Siege of Drakwald**

Following the death knell of House Stroheim, House Dresari sought to fill the power vacuum. The first siege of Drakwald saw the Outlaw King and his loyalists standing against the forces of change. Defying the odds, they held firm, displaying unyielding resilience in the face of adversity, as the kingdom witnessed the rebirth of House Igsum's indomitable spirit.

#### **The Proclamation of the Outlaw King**

As Vina grappled with political turmoil and shifting allegiances, Sigeberht, with audacious might, declared himself the Outlaw King. The untamed wilderness became his dominion, enforcing taxes on those who dared venture into the rugged lands. The saga of House Igsum continued, with the Outlaw King rewriting the narrative, leaving an indelible mark on the landscape of Vina.
French Ministry of Magic

The **French Ministry of Magic** (French: ***Ministère des Affaires Magiques de la France***, lit. 'Ministry of Magical Affairs of France') is the governing body of the wizarding community in France. The French Ministry's motto was *"Incanté, Envouté, Conjuré"*, meaning "Cast, Bewitched, Conjured" in French.

## Headquarters

The French Ministry of Magic had a spell that stopped witches and wizards being able to disapparate on their premises.

### Visitor's entrance

A Wallace fountain served as the visitor's entrance. It was located in the grounds of Place de Furstemberg (in Furstemberg Square) found in the 6th District of Paris. If a person stood in the middle and coughed, the roots of surrounding trees rose up into a birdcage elevator and descended into the ground.

### Levels

The atrium was found on the main level. It welcomed visitors and found out what business they had at the Ministry.

In the next two floors down, was a long corridor guarded by portraits on the wall, which could detect those walking by and sound a warning via an emergency alarm when they found an intruder. It led to a mailroom. Three floors down from the atrium was the Records Room.

## History

The Ministry was founded in 1790.

In September 1927, Newton Scamander and Porpentina Goldstein infiltrated the Ministry. Having used Polyjuice Potion to disguise himself as his Auror brother Theseus Scamander, the effects faded when he went down the long corridor two floors down from the atrium. Portraits on the wall detected who he was and that he was a tracked wizard. The portraits sounded a warning, and he ran through a door in the same corridor to the mailroom.

In 1932, the office celebrated Santos's election victory.

Because of her participation in the world-famous Battle of Hogwarts on 2 May, 1998, Fleur Delacour was awarded medals of bravery from both the French and British Ministries of Magic.

## Government structure

### Bureaux

The French Ministry of Magic had several *bureaux* in all, each dealing with different aspects of the wizarding world. They were equivalent to the departments of the British Ministry of Magic and MACUSA.

Some of the *bureaux* include:

#### Bureau de la Justice Magique

The *Bureau de la Justice Magique* (B.D.L.J.M.) (English: *Bureau of Magical Justice*) was a wizarding government agency operating under the jurisdiction of the French Ministry of Magic. This department was the equivalent of the British Ministry of Magic's Department of Magical Law Enforcement. *Bureau de la Justice Magique* contained the French wizarding justice system services.

#### Bureau des Aurors

The *Bureau des Aurors* (English: *Bureau of Aurors*) served as the headquarters of Aurors of France, and was presumably a main division of the *Bureau de la Justice Magique*. It specifically dealt with the capture of dangerous criminals.

Le port du Chuckridge Cuttlebrander Patch augmente les dégâts sur une seule cible à 48-96 et toutes les attaques à 22-54.
Dark Arts (class)

**Dark Arts** was a class taught at several wizarding schools. Unforgivable Curses and numerous other forms of Dark Magic were taught in this class. It is possible that students were used as victims as a form of punishment.

## Durmstrang Institute

The Dark Arts were taught at Durmstrang Institute. This, along with their pure-blood supremacy, were reasons why Lucius Malfoy considered sending his son Draco there, and why the school had a negative reputation. Sirius Black claimed that since having been released from Azkaban for having been a Death Eater, Igor Karkaroff taught the Dark Arts to every student who enrolled at the school.

## Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

### Salazar Slytherin

Early after Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was founded, in c. A.D. 993, disagreements sprung up early around the teaching of the Dark Arts.

Salazar Slytherin may have wanted to teach his students spells of which the other three founders disapproved, and it is a possibility that he had initially constructed the Chamber of Secrets as a place in which to teach the Dark Arts.

### 1997-1998 school year

During the 1997–1998 school year, Amycus Carrow was appointed Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor at Hogwarts, and changed the subject to just Dark Arts. The seventh years learned how to cast the Cruciatus Curse (which was to be practised on students who earned detention), and possibly how to conjure Fiendfyre and other Unforgivable Curses; Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle were said to be top students due to their inclination to cruelty. However, Crabbe apparently did not pay attention to how to control or stop Fiendfyre, which was what led to his demise later that year in the skirmish in the Room of Requirement.

After that year, Carrow was replaced and the subject returned to teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts.
Ministry of Magic Classification

**classification** was given by the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures of the British Ministry of Magic to all known beasts, beings and spirits. These offered an at-a-glance guide to the perceived danger level of a creature. There were five categories.
