Well, you have to be wondering where all these strange teams are coming from, especially if you don't own or haven't read a copy of Quidditch Through the Ages, but no matter. Here is a short description of every team, and if known, where they are from, to get you acclimated with each one before making a character!

appleby arrows.
Founded in 1612, this team originates in Northern England. They wear pale blue robes with a silver arrow emblazoned on their chest. The club supporters' old practice was shooting arrows from their wands, but this was banned by the Department of Magical Games and Sports in 1894 when a referee was injured. They still hold a fierce rivalry with the Wimbourne Wasps.

Originating in Northern Ireland, the Bats wear black robes with a scarlet bat across their chest.

caerphilly catapults.
Founded in 1402, this Welsh team wears robes of vertical light green and scarlet stripes.

While the Cannons have managed to win the League Cup twenty-one times since their inception, they have not won since 1892. They wear robes of bright orange, with a speeding cannonball and "CC" in black.

falmouth falcons.
Known for their hard play, the Falcons wear dark-grey and white robes with a falcon-head emblem on the chest.

tutshill tornados.
Wearing sky-blue robes with a "TT" in dark blue on the chest and back, the Tornados enjoyed the most success in the twentieth century, winning the League Cup five times in a row, the current record.

wigtown wanderers.
Founded by a wizarding butcher Walter Parkin and his family, they wear blood-red robes with a silver meat cleaver upon the chest. A Parkin descendant has often found a place on the team in tribute to their origins.
