♔ DURMSTRANG INSTITUTE ♔

Durmstrang Institute was founded sometime during the Middle Ages by the great medieval witch Nerida Vulchanova who served as the very first head of the school, followed after her mysterious demise by Professor Harfang Munter who established Durmstrang’s reputation for emphasizing martial magic as an impressive part of its curriculum. The institute is a wizarding school that is notorious for teaching the Dark Arts. It is located in the northernmost regions of Norway or Sweden. The school has, however, taught students from as far afield as Bulgaria. Durmstrang was one of the three schools that competed in the Triwizard Tournament in the 1994–1995 school year. It is an old school, having existed since at least 1294. The students wear fur cloaks, fur hats, and blood-red robes. Durmstrang does not admit Muggle-borns. [x]
