M O R I O R I N V I C T U S "death before defeat"
Were you ever content to believe that witches and wizards were strictly confined to their various schools of magic and their surrounding areas?
If you did, you couldn't be more wrong.
In fact, these magic folk walk among us every day, posing as ordinary citizens with seemingly mundane lives and jobs. It's simply about who has the eye keen enough to see them.

S E T T I N G & L O C A T I O N S
Our coven of sorts is located in the peculiarly eclectic city of Portland, Oregon. It's the state's largest city, known for its young, liberal, hipster culture, innovative food scene, and excellent local music, and the diverse range of people makes blending into the crowd quite easy. The weather is mostly temperate for the majority of the year, and even though all four seasons can be experienced, the temperatures aren't extreme.
⋆ Expecto Espresso: A modest and quaint coffee place co-owned by Hufflepuff and Thunderbird residents. Used as a neutral meeting ground and relaxation place for our wizards., as well as a small income source.
Downtown Portland: Where you can get your freak on. It's a relatively compact area for a downtown and very easy to navigate by foot, making it a hot spot for weekend fun. Filled with great restaurants, galleries, entertainment, and shops. Visited by all, but mostly Gryffindors, Wampuses, Hufflepuffs, and Thunderbirds.
Powell's Bookstore: Literal book heaven--a must-visit if you're into books at all. Frequented by Slytherins, Ravenclaws, and Horned Serpents.
Waterfront Park: A beautiful park right by the water, as the name implies. festivals, outdoor concerts, and other exciting outdoor activities take place here. Frequented by Gryffindors, Hufflepuffs, and Thunderbirds.
Portland Art Museum/Oregon History Museum: An intellectual attraction, boasting both Native American and modern contemporary art. Frequented by Ravenclaws and Horned Serpents.
The Alder Street Food Cart Pod: A huge collection of both food trucks and carts, located downtown. Frequented by Hufflepuffs, Pukwudgies, Wampuses.. or anyone looking for quick and cheap (and delicious) food.

The Ravenclaws live in a minimalist, modern ultra-luxe apartment complex in the city, on one of the quieter streets. They're located close enough to downtown where it doesn't impede ease of access, but far enough so the craziness of the city doesn't encroach on their precious privacy.

Though it lacks some of the nice appliances newer homes might have, but you won't find a home much cozier than this one.

T H E W A M P U S H O M E Represents the body. Favors warriors. The Wampuses live in a rather plain, unassuming home located in a somewhat sparsely populated area outside of the city. The two-story home is surrounded by pine trees and other shrubbery. Their location gives these tricky folk the space they need to function, without sacrificing ease of access to downtown.

T H E P U K W U D G I E H O M E Represents the heart. Favors healers. The Pukwudgies live in a somewhat secluded cabin-style home on the edge of the city, backing up to Oregon's lush forests and hills. This location gives this fiercely independent house the freedom they need to escape, and is about a ten minute bus ride to downtown.

The inspiration for this roleplay came from a Tumblr post. All aspects of the Harry Potter universe belong to JK Rowling. Vɪᴛɪᴀᴛᴜs created the moodboards for each house. 𝘨𝘰𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘴𝘶𝘯, intentional, Lea (as well as the previously mentioned people) were instrumental in helping me develop the plot and flesh out the details. Thank you so much for all your help!
