Rumors have circulated that its location is somewhere in northern Scandinavia. However, because the school is so secretive about its location and practices, no one can be absolutely sure about its whereabouts. Durmstrang is completely unplottable, which means it is utterly hidden from view. Either it was completely removed from all maps, or is magically concealed. Any visitors who travel there must comply with a selective memory wiping charm, which only removes the memories of how they arrived, speak of stunning views and vast, sprawling grounds. One stunning sight happens to be the spectral ship docked at the base of a mountain lake. <br/><br/>There is a reputation at the school that has started to shift slightly over time, but not by much. Durmstrang is known for being very accepting of the Dark Arts, and although there have been a few nefarious wizards who hailed from Durmstrang, the dark reputation cast over the school was not entirely merited. The first; Harfang Munter, was a man who took over the school after the mysterious death of its founder, Nerida Vulchanova. He helped establish Durmstrang as a highly competitive duelling school and instituted marital magic, both of which are still part of the stringent curriculum today. Second; Igor Karkaroff, who was a Death Eater under Lord Voldermort and fled his position when the Dark Lord was exiled. As Headmaster, his ego knew no bounds and his moral compass was nonexistent. He single handedly created a culture in the Institute of fear and intimidation among students and staff alike. Many parents removed their children from Durmstrang during Karkaroff's rule. Finally, and probably most notably; Gillert Grindelwald, who was one of the most dangerous wizards of the twentieth century. <br/><br/>Despite these examples which helped Durmstrang develop its dubious reputation, the Institute has undergone some changes in more recent years. Viktor Krum hailed from Durmstrang, and became an international Quidditch star. He also danced with Hermione Granger at the Yule Ball during the last Triwizard Tournament. It may have been one of the only times that a Durmstrang student openly accepted a muggle-born witch. Viktor returned to Durmstrang fighting for the rights of muggle-borns. Though it took a long time to reach the ears of important people, eventually, the right connections were made and the proper people were swayed at the International Confederation of Wizards, and Durmstrang began to allow muggle-born witches and wizards into the Institute. Unfortunately, not everyone here shares the views of Viktor Krum, and there are still blood prejudices behind these doors. <br/><br/>The castle is not as large as Hogwarts, with only four levels, but the land is vast, surrounded by lakes and mountains. Fires are only lit for magical purposes and the schedule at the school is very strict, making it feel more like an army than a school, sometimes. German and Slavic are spoken most commonly, on campus, though English is known to be spoken often, too. The uniforms vary depending on weather, but generally speaking the students wear fur cloaks and fur hats in the winter time, blood red cloaks with tan britches, and black, leather boots. Students are expected to shine their boots every night, and keep their uniform in excellent condition, no matter what season it is outside. <br/><br/><br/>(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DQHG7DNUMAALM1e.jpg) (https://i.pinimg.com/236x/f3/67/1a/f3671a5b3443919057a0d4d51d67ba8c--harry-potter.jpg)</div><br/><br/><hr/><br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">Student Headers:</span></strong><br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://res.cloudinary.com/teepublic/image/private/s--IkVfisoU--/t_Preview/b_rgb:ffffff,c_limit,f_auto,h_313,q_90,w_313/v1446235579/production/designs/252341_1)</div><div class="floatright">(https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/harrypotter/images/f/f3/DurmstrangCrest.png/revision/latest?cb=20160112161151)</div><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td><strong>NAME:</strong> CHARACTER NAME (http://LINK TO CS)<br/><strong>YEAR:</strong> THEIR HOUSE and YEAR<br/><strong>BLOOD STATUS:</strong> MUGGLE BORN, PUREBLOOD, or HALFBLOOD<br/><strong>WAND:</strong> LENGTH | WOOD | CORE<br/><strong>WEARING:</strong> URL LINK or DESCRIPTION<br/><strong>DATE | TIME:</strong> DAY and TIME of day<br/><strong>LOCATION:</strong> WHERE are they<br/><strong>CONTENT:</strong> WHAT is happening in the post<br/><strong>MOOD MUSIC:</strong> OPTIONAL - Include a link, please no embedded videos<br/><strong>TAGGING:</strong> WHO are they talking to</td></tr></tbody></table><br/><hr/><br/><div class="codeheader">Code: <a class="codeoperation" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="return smfSelectText(this);">[Select]</a></div><pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"><code class="bbc_code">[floatleft][img height=200 padding=5]CHARACTER IMG URL[/img][/floatleft]<br/>[floatright][img height=150]SCHOOL CREST URL[/img][/floatright]<br/>[table][tr][td][b]NAME:[/b] [url=http://LINK TO CS]CHARACTER NAME[/url]<br/>[b]YEAR:[/b] THEIR HOUSE and YEAR<br/>[b]BLOOD STATUS:[/b] MUGGLE BORN, PUREBLOOD, or HALFBLOOD<br/>[b]WAND:[/b] LENGTH | WOOD | CORE<br/>[b]WEARING:[/b] URL LINK or DESCRIPTION<br/>[b]DATE | TIME:[/b] DAY and TIME of day<br/>[b]LOCATION:[/b] WHERE are they<br/>[b]CONTENT:[/b] WHAT is happening in the post<br/>[b]MOOD MUSIC:[/b] OPTIONAL - Include a link, please no embedded videos<br/>[b]TAGGING:[/b] WHO are they talking to[/td][/tr][/table]<br/><br/><br/>[hr]</code></pre><br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">Staff Headers:</span></strong><br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://res.cloudinary.com/teepublic/image/private/s--q7kJspad--/t_Preview/b_rgb:191919,c_limit,f_auto,h_313,q_90,w_313/v1505543701/production/designs/1904314_1)</div><div class="floatright">(https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/harrypotter/images/f/f3/DurmstrangCrest.png/revision/latest?cb=20160112161151)</div><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td><strong>NAME:</strong> CHARACTER NAME (http://LINK TO CS)<br/><strong>OCCUPATION:</strong> THEIR HOUSE and YEAR<br/><strong>BLOOD STATUS:</strong> MUGGLE BORN, PUREBLOOD, or HALFBLOOD<br/><strong>WAND:</strong> LENGTH | WOOD | CORE<br/><strong>WEARING:</strong> URL LINK or DESCRIPTION<br/><strong>DATE | TIME:</strong> DAY and TIME of day<br/><strong>LOCATION:</strong> WHERE are they<br/><strong>CONTENT:</strong> WHAT is happening in the post<br/><strong>MOOD MUSIC:</strong> OPTIONAL - Include a link, please no embedded videos<br/><strong>TAGGING:</strong> WHO are they talking to</td></tr></tbody></table><br/><hr/><br/><div class="codeheader">Code: <a class="codeoperation" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="return smfSelectText(this);">[Select]</a></div><pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"><code class="bbc_code">[floatleft][img height=200 padding=5]CHARACTER IMG URL[/img][/floatleft]<br/>[floatright][img height=150]SCHOOL CREST URL[/img][/floatright]<br/>[table][tr][td][b]NAME:[/b] [url=http://LINK TO CS]CHARACTER NAME[/url]<br/>[b]OCCUPATION:[/b] THEIR HOUSE and YEAR<br/>[b]BLOOD STATUS:[/b] MUGGLE BORN, PUREBLOOD, or HALFBLOOD<br/>[b]WAND:[/b] LENGTH | WOOD | CORE<br/>[b]WEARING:[/b] URL LINK or DESCRIPTION<br/>[b]DATE | TIME:[/b] DAY and TIME of day<br/>[b]LOCATION:[/b] WHERE are they<br/>[b]CONTENT:[/b] WHAT is happening in the post<br/>[b]MOOD MUSIC:[/b] OPTIONAL - Include a link, please no embedded videos<br/>[b]TAGGING:[/b] WHO are they talking to[/td][/tr][/table]<br/><br/>[hr]</code></pre>
