`H`OGWARTS CASTLE DEFENCES — Only Hogwarts staff and students are able to enter or inhabit Hogwarts Castle or the surrounding grounds within the dome. — There are two Knights located at every entrance to the castle, as well as two Knights located in the center of every hallway of the castle. — The Knights will be activated should anyone attempt to murder or seriously injure another student (eg. with a blunt force object, throwing them down the stairs / off a bridge, etc) or stab another person with a knife/sword/dagger/sharp object in the PRESENCE of one. Meaning, if something were to occur in the vicinity of one of the knights, activating it, then the others around the castle would subsequently activate as well. This does not need to be RPed. — Otherwise, Only Senior Staff and Head of Houses are allowed to manually activate the Knights. This needs to be RPed. — When the wards are attacked/breached, the Knights are activated and move to seal each floor of the castle. The Knights are magic resistant and will be difficult to take down without focused strikes. — The Defences extend across the entire grounds, including within the Secret Entrances and the mid-point of the Forbidden Forest. This means that using a secret entrance to get through the wards is currently not available for use. — Once someone is officially hired, they are given permission to enter the Castle and the surrounding grounds. Before this, they may only enter the grounds with permissions. — Apparation into and out of Hogwarts castle is limited to the Headmaster and Headmistress at any given time, and it is unclear why. — Only the Senior Staff are able to bypass the Gargoyle to the DHM offices without the explicit permission of the IS RP Admin. — Defences can be negotiated with the SS team in case of storylines. SPELL DEFENCES — Repello Muggletum (50 LTB) — Protego Totalum (200 LTB) — Salvio Hexia (200 LTB) — Protego Horribilis (200 LTB) — Fianto Duri (150 LTB) — Aruspices Mitte (activated once PT, SH & PH are destroyed) DEFENCES ACTIVATED WHEN DAMAGED — Piertotum Locomotor (15 LTB per knight, 2 knights per castle floor) — Commitimor (alerts the staff and students) — Non Decessio (50 LTB) — Non Decessio Duo (50 LTB) PASSAGEWAYS AND ENTRANCES — All passageways can ONLY be entered or exited by students or staff, as they fall under Hogwart's set defences, unless otherwise obstructed and restricted by the castle's Heads for safety reasons. Due to the castle's magical temperance and its tendency to sporadically move its rooms around, these restrictions are usually temporary. — The entrance to the Mirror of Erised is longer sealed by magic as it once was, but it is difficult to pinpoint it's exact location, no matter how many times someone has been within it. — If students are to leave the castle through a passageway without permission, you MUST roleplay doing so and proof must be provided if asked upon. PORTRAITS — There are portraits located on every floor of the castle. These portraits are semi-sentient and will report rule breaks to Professors (or Magical Law Enforcement when the situation significantly escalates; rarely) if questioned. However, they cannot verbally identify the individual (other than basic appearance and house) nor go into elaborate detail about what occurred, but can alert the authorities of something that did take place. — A portrait knows little if anything of its subject's life, and therefore could not hold a very interesting conversation about its subject. — A person depicted in a portrait can live forever but has a reason to fear their life, for example: if the portrait was slashed or vandalised in any way. FORBIDDEN FOREST — There are no defenses stopping students from entering the Forbidden Forest, save for the natural impregnability and danger that lay in wait for them there; however, defenses to keep students in and intruders out exists at the mid-way point to the Hogsmeade Outskirts. Students attempting to bypass the Forbidden Forest past this point, closer toward Hogsmeade, will trigger Monitum (the caterwauling charm) to alert professors as to an escape. Students who enter the forbidden forest will quickly see why it has been given that name: the flora and fauna there have, like the castle, been absorbing magic for centuries. Tangled, nigh-impenetrable without guidance and home to legion of dangerous creatures such as the Acromantula hives that call the deep forest home, trespassers will also likely be met by roving Centaur tribes, who consider the end of the forest their territory. Students are only encouraged to enter the forest with a Professor, who will be able to lead them through for a specific purpose. — If you are seen roleplaying in the Forbidden Forest, any member of Level 4 or Hogwarts Staff are permitted to RP antagonistic forces for realistic danger. Creatures may only be roleplayed by chief and head magizoologists, or if none are available you may ask for permission to roleplay creatures. — Students infected with lycanthropy may, instead of being taken to the Ministry, request use of the Forbidden Forest for their transformations on the eve of the full moon. Uninfected students who find themselves at odds with a werewolf in the forest, if not currently accompanied by a professor, will be considered having acknowledged the risks should they incur any serious injury from encountering one there. HOGSMEADE TRIPS / LEAVING THE CASTLE — Hogsmeade is still available to all students who are of age, however (like in canon) Hogsmeade trips are supervised by at least two Professors who take a head count and permission slips from a students parent or guardian before departure. During the trip, Professors will allow students to do as they please, but will always maintain a vigilant eye over their charges. — Professors conduct head counts and permission slip checks during trips as well; if a student is shown to have slipped the Professors vision and gone somewhere else without supervision, they will be reported to the Headmaster and Deputy Headmistress. Should an incident occur, Professors will immediately summon Law Enforcement as well as staff from Hogwarts to assist the students there. If no professors (OOC) are available, then presume a NPC would be and roleplay accordingly. — Students may go places other than Hogsmeade on weekends, but they will be escorted to their destination and back from it by a Professor, unless the staff decides that they will be taking a multitude of students to another village than Hogsmeade over the weekend, in which case the above restrictions apply. Students require permission from their Head of House in order to take personal, solitary visits to other locations during school time. These visits will be supervised by a Professor to ensure student safety. There are no restrictions on student movement during holidays. { CORRIDORS }
