(Outdated. Will eventually be edited.)
Of all Of the Magikal castles in the world Valcentica is the most noble. Valcentica began with a wander group of students lead by the first member of the Maesto family. This particular witch needed a place to house her aspiring students. As legend has it she was found by the king on one of his hunts, he had almost killed her by accident, when a misfired arrow came in her direction she stopped it using magic. Upon seeing this he agreed to take in her and her students.
However eventually A neighboring highly religious kingdom found out (mind you this was still during the witch burning times) about the king holding the as he called them atrocities. When the neighboring king confronted him, the king refused to expel the students and their headmistress. Later the castle came under siege by the same king, whom had attacked the castle only to force the students out.
However, this siege would not have any effect, as this primary document makes clear
...and if all of the water in the world vanishes then we shall replenish it with our wands, and if all of the livestock is eaten then we shall make the most succulent meals from our wands too....
FROM THE DOCUMENTS OF THE MAESTO FAMILLY
After about nine years of siege the opposing king seemed to realize that his siege was having no effect. In hopes of flushing out the garrisoned inhabitants of the castle he set fire to hit by shooting flaming arrows over the castle walls. While this would have proved effective if there had not been peoples of magikal decent inside the castle. They quelled the fire effortlessly with a water summoning charm.
Three days later the king managed to breech the castle entrance and enter it with small amounts of soldiers. At this point even with the help of the witches and wizards the soldiers were overwhelmed. At this pont the headmistress of the students preformed a highly complicated bit of magic and transported the castle and its grounds into an alter dimension.
After several centuries of use by wizards Valcentica muggles soon had acquired magical abilities, This is part of the legacy of Valcentica because no muggle born wizards were seen until after the liberation of Valcentica. Valcentica still remains a great castle today, as do the students who attend it. While valcentica is only known to those to attend it is a very very important school, this the students must keep in mind if the castle should ever come under siege again as it did many centuries before. Any students who ever read this in a time of peril should act as the first students did and defend the castle with every bit of magic and strength they have.
