J.K. Rowling writes that Ilvermorny was a magical school of witchcraft and wizardry, founded by a pureblood Irish wizard named Isolt Sayre in the 17th century. Ilvermorny sat atop the highest peak of Mount Greylock enshrouded by powerful concealment enchantments.
Sayre was a descendant of Salazar Slytherin and the renowned Irish witch Morrigan. Sayre lived with her parents in a small Irish town till the day her mother's estranged sister Gormlaith Gaunt (pureblood zealot) murdered Sayre's parents and kidnapped her away to Hag's Glen to stop her from marrying a muggle.
A decade later, following imprisonment and continued attempts at indoctrinating Sayre, she stole her aunt's wand, and managed an escape.
Sayre went on to pose as a Muggle boy, sailing to the 'New World', where she came across a wealth of magical creatures and fellow wizards that'd ultimately help her create Ilvermorny.
The four Ilvermorny houses are named after magical creatures:
- Horned Serpent – a ‘great horned river serpent with a jewel set into its forehead’
- Pukwudgie – ‘a short, grey-faced, large-eared creature’
- Thunderbird – a creature that ‘can create storms as it flies’
- Wampus – ‘a magical, panther-like creature that is fast, strong and almost impossible to kill’

There are some new Legendary Creatures on the block.
The 2016 election, by all accounts, is chalking up to be quite ridiculous. So ridiculous in fact, that the only way to make it more tolerable is to turn the candidates into Magic: The Gathering cards.
Mighty God King is a genius for making these.
Mighty God King 4 Prez 2016!
