## Lore (Notable Events)

### Founding

The server was founded April 16th 2018 originally by Ozzie and maintained together with sfu. The author TheSinisterMan joined shortly after which lead it to a bigger public exposure due to advertising of the server below story chapters.

Following a bigger controversy with the original founder of the server and said account deletion by the Discord admins, sfu became the new owner of the server on March 31st, 2019. The server ownership was passed onto TheSinisterMan the very same day.

### April Fool's Day 2020

For April Fools 2020, the Mod sfu decided to play a practical joke on the Discord server. Sfu added a false notification to the server picture, tricking the community into believing a new chunk had been released. This was met with mixed reception, but was generally accepted as funny.

Meanwhile, the author uploaded a prank chapter full of ridiculous Harry Potter fanfiction cliches. Among other things, Griphook tells Harry that he is the heir to all four Hogwarts Houses, Harry acquires a harem due to marriage contracts, and Dumbledore is treated as even more evil than Voldemort. Finally, Theo No-Name wakes Harry with a shout of April Fool's! The excerpt was eventually uploaded as the first part of Chapter 130.

## Lore (Cults)

### Cult of Dave

Some users decided that the dementor that has it out for Harry & Jim is super cool and have started to worship him. This cult holds that Dave is the true hero of the story, and have threatened to ressurect him if he is killed in the story. ​​​​​​As a matter of fact, Dave is ressurected by cultists at least once a week on Discord, as the mod Anne made a triple-Patronus meme that she uses to kill Dave whenevers someone mentions him. As of the end of chapter 129 (31st of March 2020) the Cult of Dave is dead.

### Cult of Davian

The Cult of Davian was born from the ashes of the Cult of Dave like a Phoenix. The name changed to Davian as a result of the reveal that the Dementor's name was not Dave, but Fabian. Discord user Sigurd gave us the name "Davian" and that has been the Cult's name ever since. All of the (former) Cult of Dave's history, alliances and rivalries are the same.

### Church of the Dark God.

While the term "Dark God" is a reference from the Potter Prophecy, the Church of the Dark God is based around a Discord user named "The Dark God. Their main goal is to ensure the continued success of The Dark God. To quote the leader, "we give away high ranking positions like they're expired." The Church of the Dark God is allied with the Cult of Dave.

### Church of Ron

The Church of Ron, the Red One, the Awesome, our Lord and Saviour, the All-Powerful, the True-personality-of-all-characters-but-the-main-third years.

Origins: The Truth of Ron was first revealed to Prince of Conspiracy as he was closely studying Harry Potter and the Prince of Slytherin. When discussing how it is possible for Good to triumph over Evil in such a world, it soon became obvious that the only sane explanation for the continued existence of the PoS world is that in every instance when something could go wrong, things happen in the best possible way because Ron Weasley is the ultimate power in Existence and everything happens from his Will as all characters (except the main third years) are actually aspects of Lord Ron.

Some proof of the Truth of Ron: For example, “Albus Dumbledore” saved the day many times, both Ron Weasley and “Albus Dumbledore” have blue eyes. So how else could it be explained how “Albus Dumbledore” knew when and how to do things to save the day? The only possible answer is for “Albus Dumbledore” to actually be Ron Weasley, pretending to be someone else to ensure that things happen the way they must. This is only an example and the whole Truth of Ron is too wide and complex to be explained briefly.

Controversies: Although the Power and Awesomeness of Lord Ron are without question, much is still not known about the true nature of Lord Ron. Did Ron Weasley travel back in time repeatedly to keep fixing the timeline and thus became every single character in PoS except the main third years? Or was Lord Ron always there, since the beginning of time and reality itself, being the beginning and end of all things? This and other deep questions are still not revealed to us, all we can know is that Lord Ron is the ultimate power in existence now and our savior.

Structure: Although Prince of Conspiracy was one of the first prophets of Ron, helping to uncover the Truth of Ron, he prefers to remain devoted to studying the revelations of Lord Ron and keeping records of his Glory. As such, it fell to Rdgbraz to spread the word of the Glory of Lord Ron, becoming a Bishop of Ron in his quest to convert others to the Church of Ron. Although all of us are only Pawns of Ron, particularly devoted Pawns can become other Chess Pieces of Ron to perform duties in Lord Ron name: for example, those who prefer to attack heretics may become Knights of Ron.

### Anti-Cult Cult

In response to the plethora of cults that have formed, parparc started the Anti-Cult Cult (ACC). The ACC has a "secret handshake," where they send a blank block quote that looks remarkably like a spoiler that can't be clicked open.

### Cult of Regulus

The Cult of Regulus is formed around Regulus' Metamorphagus abilities. According to this cut, everyone is Reg and Reg is everyone. They would also like it to be known that they offer all members free cookies once a day and that this is *not* a bribe.

### Anti-Bashing Cult

Discord user Jennifer Weasley started the Anti-Bashing Cult (ABC) to oppose Lily-bashing in #pos-chat, and expanded the scope to oppose all bashing.

### Cult of the Pastry God

The Cult of the Pastry God was inpired by a quote from The Sinister Man:

*Man, I hope you all aren't too disappointed when, in the end, Harry gives up all the fame and fortune and magical/political power to become a pastry chef.*

Although TSM was almost certainly joking, some users have seized upon the idea and started worshiping Harry's culinary skills. In the long term, the CPG wants Harry to become a pastry chef after Hogwarts. In the short term, they champion the idea that Harry's mind palace will be a kitchen. Sam Guduxin and fifthcentaurus co-lead this cult.

### Cult of FAAAAWKES

Discord user fifthcentaurus came up with the idea for the Cult of Fawkes, but after being sarcastically suggested by user Possum, renamed it the Cult of FAAAAWKES, worshipping the glory of the Fiery Lord.
