FINISHED Wampus Den--Term 9

Just to the right of the fifth torch, the wall is an illusion. There is no actual door into Wampus, though that doesn’t mean anyone can just walk in. Wards are in place to keep out unwanted guests.

If fellow students simply wished to try and wander in, they would find a solid wall and no entry at all. Were someone to try and pass the entry with the intent to do harm to those within, the walls of the castle will slam shut on them, crushing them. Only those with the password may enter.

Our password is Imperium.


As the students stepped through the walls, the Wampus Common Room opened up before them. The right wall was lined with tall windows that looked out over the mountain and forest outside. Two roaring fireplaces stood at each end of the room, casting long shadows on the dark crimson walls. The walls themselves were lined with various weapons, some familiar at least by sight, but others were fantastical in design and obviously from faraway lands. Alongside them were the weapons forged by each Wampus student during their first year. Below, against the dark wooden paneling stood bookcases and desks. Deep, dark leather couches and chaises were gathered in various groups around the room with plenty of light to read by, and relaxing scents for scholarship.

This is the Common Room. A place for you to relax, work on your studies and socialize. If you need a place to vent your frustrations, take it to the forge. Slamming a hammer into heated iron is a great stress reliever. The doors on either side of the southern fireplace lead to two hallways, the dorms are down there.

There is a picture of a panther-like cat on one wall. This is the Wampus, a magical cat which is described as fast, strong, and nearly impossible to kill.

Welcome to Wampus.
