The Basics of Nightmare

[Sacred_Karcram]

Brief History of Nightmare Academy

Countless years ago, during a time of peace, four enemies of the good united. Their names were: Gary Growlkitten, Henry Dufflebaggies, Reyah Crowingraves and Seriah Slimythings. Together they decided to make a school, to teach those who wanted to become supernatural, monsters and troublemakers. They called this school Nightmare Academy. All of them worked together well until Henry Dufflebag married a heroine named Saundra. Eventually, Henry left the school to join the good side and things have never been the same there ever again.

There are four houses in Nightmare Academy. They each are different in their own ways. Also, they all have phantom toads (similar to Hogwarts ghosts). Here they are:

About Dogscream Village

This is the equivalent to Hogwart's Hogsmeade. Those who are 2nd to 8th year students come here for field trips. It is hidden from the Happy Grounds and the Neutral Land. The only way to get there is either over a troll bridge near the neutral lands or a tunnel from Nightmare Academy.

Magical Items and Pets

There are two things every student has to bring to Nightmare Academy (besides books and cauldrons). Those are magical items and pets.

Magical Items

Magical items in this Academy is the equivalent to a wand in Hogwarts. These magical items have to be able to fit in a robe pocket and they also have to be either glass or wooden.

More About Happy Grounds

Happy grounds is the place for heroes and good creatures. They are protected by Paladins and Angels mostly. However, there is a vigilante force called The Really Heroic Good Guys Brigade, which likes to plot raids on Nightmare whenever possible.
