In the fifteenth century, a castle near Barcelona was sealed off into another dimension to protect wizards from the forces of the Spanish Inquisition. The setup worked out, and even after the Inquisition had long since been disbanded, the castle remained locked away in its parallel world. Over the centuries, the last bastion of Spanish wizards became a boarding school, which reached out to young wizards all over the world. Pure-blood, half-blood, or Muggle-born, it didn't matter. Everyone was invited and welcomed to the school, called Valcentica.
Today, the school is still a haven for those students who wish to attend it. The tolerant atmosphere still exists, and extends beyond magical heritage. Some of the students aren't even human...
But the school has its enemies as well, throwing its ancient motto of 'Harmony and Peace' into peril. Aside from the usual, more banal forces of darkness, various so-called descendants of Voldemort, and the like, the prime piece of interdimensional real estate has drawn other prospective residents, many of whom don't care for the current tenants. Half of the professors have other affiliations than mere education, and the Spanish Ministry of Magic is breathing down the necks of the staff, eager to control the alternate dimension and the resources it contains. And on top of everything, there's a demon horde banging down the gate.
It's just another day in Valcentica...
Harmony&Peace...to a point
