The History of the Gothic Ball

Humans would understand the idea of the event called Prom. If your a 'monster' then you don't even know what I'm talking about a very formal dance. This dance usually happens at the end of the school year. I often based on the age and grade levels and there are multiple dances based on grades that are common. What what a human prom is like.
The Gothic Ball is a dance, formal of course, that happens at the beginning of the school year. As a way to make us 'human' and have fun. It was a ploy by Vice Principal Richardson. Richardson appears in the school records at the age of 18 and a wizard. Records show that he worked as a part-time janitor. From there the next time he gets a job change is at 24 when he becomes a teacher and founded the dance. So for ten years this dance has taken place.

Veil Wars

Everyone knows about the Veil Wars and most of us were alive at that time. For those human born magic dwellers I'll tell you about it. First of all I was only 4 when it happened so my information is second hand at this time.
The Veil Wars was a one year civil war in the magical world. The groups were two different political parties who are well known to have certain types of members. Anyways the fight was over if the Veil should be removed and the magical creatures of this world should be allowed to roam among humans without the tough rules we have now.
The fight was taken to the streets and every few days the capital city would have a new toll on the death count. Many families and civil leaders left the city while these fights broke out. Each side had it's own political leaders though the names and who they are only known to a few. Most of the dead came from the side that was against opening the veil. There dead included mostly Elves, fairies, pixies, human turned werewolves, and witches or wizards. The dead from the other side are mostly vampires, lycans, succubus/incubus, and other creatures considered dark.
Since then the rules between realm travel have only gotten stronger and the debate still continues one what they would do. Our own Mr. Richardson, who was a fighter, is a strong supporter against opening the veil.

Black Was once considered a bad color. With the introductions of foreign ideas from the Humans and Dwarves it is now considered a color of morning and scholars. It is sometimes put under tunics and used as legs to show signs of mourning.
Blue A popular color to the Woodland Elves. Blue items are often worn at home or for special occasions. Blue is often associated with water and thought as another color of life.
