Guest!

Welcome
CATALYST is a Riddle Era roleplay.

It is currently November of 1942, three years after the beginning of World War II and Grindelwald's campaign for the Greater Good. The Chamber of Secrets opens this year.

We are accepting canons and originals.


Hogwarts 1942
Wizards, unchanged for centuries, are now more sensitive to the kind of magic they blissfully avoided for so long - that which builds airplanes and bombs, and abolishes tradition. War has never been so difficult to ignore. London is a city strangled with propellers and guns, and Grindelwald sifts through the ashes of Europe performing his Greater Good.

Hogwarts has long been a sanctuary, but even its ancient walls are not immune. Deep beneath the dungeons stirs a new danger, the likes of which are as old as the castle itself. "All who behold its eyes fall dead upon the spot..."

Tessa Moon

Congratulations to Pan for being selected as the March member of the month for Catalyst!

Pan joined Catalyst on Jan 1st 2013, and since then she has been a wonderful addition to the site -- her characterisation of Tessa is unique, funny, and undeniably human, and she brings something fresh to every thread she turns up in. As a member, she contributes regularly -- even with a broken wrist! Her part in the IC unity of Ravenclaw house is undeniable, and she created the fabulous Adventuring Club, which everyone should join!

We're so pleased to have her as part of the site, and can't wait to see what Tessa gets up to next! Congratulations, Pan!
