Since the beginning of mankind, there has always been a division of powers. The most obvious is that of Magical Folk versus Non-Magical Folk. This has become a well known division within the human race. However, few remember the division within the Magical folk. Once upon a time, there had been a distinct difference between the abilities of those with magical distinction. The group had been divided into five sub-categories: Time, Elemental, Creatures, Mental, and the Darkness.
However, as time passed these different groups blended together and eventually appeared to die out. Their skills and lore appeared to become lost within the passage of time and many people seemed to have forgotten about them entirely. Within the world, it appeared that only small sections of each of the lores remained and were taught.
Before the five lores were completely lost, five people who still followed faithfully to their lore banded together. Working together, they found and compiled all the lore they were able to find that remained within the magical world. This done, the five were at a loss on what to do with the information they had strove so long to compile. Until, one made the suggestion of putting it to use for future generations. The idea of a school surfaced and became reality.
The school would collect those strongest in the particular lores and teach, along with the standard curriculums, the teachings of the lore magics. They would bring the five lores back into the world with the students they taught. At first the school was sparsely filled but as the years passed, turning into hundreds of years until a century had passed the school built up, accepting over a hundred students yearly until it became what it is today.
Karthen Academy was originally located off the coast of Ireland. At the time, the school and grounds had been magically hidden away from Muggle eyes. However, disaster struck the school in the form of nature and the area the school had been located in was flooded. However, the school did not close but was merely moved to North America where is has been located for the past few hundred years. The school is still magically hidden from muggle eyes and is located near the Great Lakes, it's exact location still largely unknown by most.
The Academy accepts students from all over the world, largely for the fact it is one of the few, maybe the only one, that teaches the Five Magical Lores. |
