The current year is 1000 AD.
Hogwarts has been running for 10 years, founded by four witches and wizards from each corner of Britain: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin. The greatest wizarding families have sent their children to the school to learn how to use their magic, but there are tensions. The founders each prize one attribute over another, and Slytherin isn't happy that his companions have decided to allow half bloods and muggleborn students into the school. Will he learn to accept their decision or will he concoct something more sinister?
Outside of Hogwarts, the situation is just as volatile. In a time before Ministries of Magic, society is left with a Wizards' Council, a court that revolves around the Council Chief, the equivalent of the muggle Kings. Both England (combined with Wales) and Scotland have separate Councils and, whilst their muggle counterparts are at war with one another, the Councils aren't finding it so easy to work together either.
