Return to the Potterverse with BYOV as we journey to the New World and visit the American school–Ilvermorny!
- Game Description – Fall Semester, 1774. Ilvermorny nears 150 years of teaching the wizards and witches of the Colonies. But unrest brews among the muggle governments (nomages, as some are now calling them). The new term is ‘Americans’, and they seem headed towards war with the British. But the wizarding world almost never gets involved in such things. At Ilvermorny, students and staff look to welcome a wonderful new gift from their allies at Beauxbatons – the towering Statue of Wizardry. With the protections the new statue can offer the school, will the wizarding world be able to stay out of muggle politics? New players and costume welcome, no experience or costumes necessary. Some mature themes, so mature players only please. A BYOV Potter-fest. Find us, and a cast list, at BYOV.com. Early character requests welcome.
