Horrors of the Salem Institute
The truth of this "school" exposed!
The Salem Institute has always been more of a reform school for children that didn't get a letter to the prestigious Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft & Wizardry. Come to find out, it's not that they didn't receive their letters because they were not invited to attend, but were either sent to the Salem Institute by their families for whatever reason or, more disturbingly, grabbed and forced into the so-called school without anyone, including any family they may have, knowing! That's right! This Institute literally kidnapped children! So how is it that no one knew about this?
Well, for years, the Institute lied about exactly what their actual goal was. Somehow getting away with being labeled as a school for troubled children, the Institute would not only not teach these children how to properly use their magic, but would hand them a wand and tell them, "Good luck!" with using it! They not only didn't really teach these children, but there have been reports that they would lock up many of them for the simple reason of being a werewolf! Once a month, these werewolves would be locked in a cage so they could "deal" with their transformations. They were treated like they were less than anything but a living soul! It's more than just an outrage, it's down right horrendous! And even this wasn't the worst of it! Oh no! It even has torture as one of their methods, if you can even fathom something this evil.
The biggest shock to MACUSA is the fact that there were quite a few students that have been tortured using magic, draining them mentally and also physically. Thankfully, the Magical Congress of the United States has immediately put a stop to the Salem Institute once they learned of what the actual agenda for the place was. Once the school had been cleared of all faculty as well as children, the government is making sure charges are being pressed to the fullest extent as well as working overtime to get these children back to their families.
However, the nightmare these children have been through isn't exactly over with yet. While some may end up back with their families, I've heard from sources that there are many that are actually orphans. The Social Services are putting in the extra work to make sure everyone makes it home to at least a loving family for the holidays this year, but it truly is an uphill battle, trying to find out the information for each and every one of these kids.
The Moretti surname is a Jewish Italian name. It is derived from the Italian word Moretto meaning dark hair and the Yiddish word Mordeven Zich meaning worker (or in some cases overwork). The name originated in the 1500s by Jewish immigrants to Italy who wanted to fit into the brand new culture they were entering. While choosing a surname, they took Italian words and combined them with yiddish or traditional Jewish words or names. In this particular case, the words combined were supposed to mean dark skinned worker, but the Jewish immigrants did not have a full understanding of Italian at the time and the Italian word that makes up part of the name actually translates to dark haired, a simple mistake made by a lack of knowledge of the Italian language.
When both the Yiddish and Italian words are put together to form Moretti it translates dark haired worker. During this time period, the enlightenment was spreading through Italy and Europe and many of the jews in Italy were converted. Even though many Jews were converted, their names carry down the ties to Judaism that were once prevalent among a group of people. To this day Genealogists can find the ties to Judaism through many names including Moretti.
One of those first families was the Moretti pack. They weren’t just immigrants, but werewolf immigrants fleeing from werewolf hunters. Only a handful escaped to rebuild their pack. Since that day the pack has grown and become fierce, not letting anyone get close enough to hurt them again. They have no ties to the Jewish heritage as they mixed themselves in with the Jewish immigrants. Oh they had lived in the same area, but they were actually from the Punjab region of Northern India.
Roma (Gypsies) originated in the Punjab region of northern India as a nomadic people and entered Europe between the eighth and tenth centuries C.E. They were called "Gypsies" because Europeans mistakenly believed they came from Egypt. This minority is made up of distinct groups called "tribes" or "nations." So yes the Moretti family was originally once Roma Gypsies.
Today the Moretti family is part of the Shadow Moon Pack in New Hampshire which borders Maine. The Moretti family formed the pack centuries ago. Long lasting tradition there has always been a Moretti Alpha of the pack. The current Alpha and Luna are Ambrose and Isadora Moretti. Their eldest daughter Bronwyn is training to be the next Alpha of the pack. Her husband Massimo who is her future beta marrying her and taking the Moretti surname as his own to honor her right as the next Alpha.
Howl at the Moon
Shadow Moon Pack is a werewolf pack in New Hampshire that was formed by the Moretti family centuries ago to survive from the outside world. Today it's one of the biggest packs in the United States. It is allied with a neighboring Maine pack by an arranged marriage that in the end was anything but an arranged marriage. As the couple had met at Ilvermorny not knowing the other was their intended and fell in love. Going to their doom after their fifth year ended in a happiness that will last a lifetime.
Werewolves In folklore, a werewolf, or occasionally lycanthrope, is an individual that can shapeshift into a wolf, either purposely or after being placed under a curse or affliction with the transformations occurring on the night of a full moon. In folklore a lot of the time they are bitten and the next full moon they change into a werewolf. In the heritage of our wolves they were born this way. With magic running through their veins they change magically and there is no pain.
The Gathering Place is a central location where families of Agawam gather as their ancestors did for town celebrations, to birthdays to anything and everything. Kids gather there to play and are protected by the magical barriers from the Outside world.
Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is where the families attended school from the time they were 11 till they graduated their 7th Year at the age of 17.
Agawam, Massachusetts was settled by Native Americans. Primarily the Mohicans which migrated here when their territories were taken over. Hidden by Magic, and nestled way back in the Valley, between the mountains were magical Native Americans that built the beautiful town of Agawam.
Mount Greylock is home to Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Down below the Mountain you will find Agawam and Greylock Grove.
The nearest somewhat large town, Greylock Grove, is but a few miles from Agawam, and where you can find Crescent Alley and Full Moon Alley. There is also a Magical College called Aupaumet and Pucakan Heath Center for the Magical community.
Moretti Family
Ambrose Moretti Taken by OPEN
57 · Alpha of the Shadow Moon Pack · PB: OPEN
Ambrose is the Alpha of the Shadow Moon Pack. He's not as tough as his father was, but he definitely holds his pack together.
40 · Future Beta of the Shadow Moon Pack · PB: Matt Dallas
My name is Massimo James Moretti and I was born into the Shadow Moon Pack. My father is the Beta. Growing up I was best friends with the Alpha's daughter who I was betrothed to. Which was just fine with me because I more than loved her. None of our kids with be betrothed though. I have two younger brothers and when I married Bronwyn Isadora Moretti I took her last name since she is the next Alpha of the pack. Or Luna or maybe I'll be the Luna not for sure there. Never have discussed it.
40 · Future Alpha of the Shadow Moon Pack · PB: Jaimie Alexander
She is very protective over her family. She's loyal and will not tolerate anyone even looking at them unkindly. Besides being fierce, she's also a lover. She loves her husband with every fiber of her being. Some of her favorite moments are when they are cooking together and doing runs. She lives for spending time outdoors, but she also lives for the moments at home too. Her children are also at the top of her list of priorities for now. Sooner than she'll ever want, she'll be taking over as Alpha though. She hates that her life has been chosen for her, but she'd rather do it than one of her younger siblings. She wants them to live their lives as they want to live them.
She is a Daddy's Girl and not afraid to admit it. Not only is she the only girl, but she's also the youngest in her family, but she doesn't think she's spoiled. She knows she does get different treatment than her brothers, but that's just because she's the only girl. She still gets responsibilities and she enjoys being able to contribute. Besides enjoying helping where she can, she loves to read and write. If there's a new book that comes out that looks to be something that she'd like, she's always wanting to get it right away. Being a Daddy's Girl has its drawbacks though. Well, drawback is probably not the right word for it. But if she wants something, she generally goes and asks her dad and he gets it for her. So is she spoiled? Not really in the "brat" sense, but yes in the she does get mostly whatever she wants. But she also has big brothers that make sure she's taken care of too.
38 · Ilvermorny Keeper of Keys and Grounds · PB: Joe Manganiello
I come from the Shadow Moon Pack in New Hampshire. I was second born to the Alpha and the Luna. My older sister will be the next Alpha of the pack. For me I had an arranged marriage since birth. We weren't to meet till right before we changed the first time at sixteen. In the meantime I met Elaine on the Ilvermorny Express and we became the best of friends, and I fell in love with her over time. Saying goodbye to her at the end of my fifth year was hard knowing I wouldn't be able to ever be with her. To my utter surprise who was my betrothed but Elaine herself. I couldn't have been more elated! We were inseparable after that! Married shortly after graduating from Ilvermorny. We have two boys and a girl. Elaine Louise Moretti is the Head of Horned Serpent, and I am the Keeper of Keys and Grounds.
She is a Leo, so she's a fierce lover. She will be the last person you want to see if you mess with her family. She loves her family more than life itself. She does have a soft spot for students. She may have a hard exterior, but she is really a lover at heart. Her husband is her world and she would do anything for him. She hates staying idle, so if you see her, she's always doing something. She enjoys her position at Ilvermorny. It keeps her busy and enjoys teaching students who have the appetite to learn. When she's not working, she loves to spend her time cozied up to her husband, but she absolutely adores supporting her children at the same time.
17 · 7th Year Horned Serpent · PB: Thomas McDonell
He loves Quodpot and playing it! It's probably his favorite thing in the world followed very closely by school. That's right, he loves school! He loves challenging himself to learn new things. He also loves to flirt with the girls and hang out with his friends. However, if he could just get the courage to flirt with the one girl he wants to claim as his mate, he'd be even happier. All the other girls are just not for him, but he doesn't mind getting them to smile. He doesn't anger easily, which is not normal for someone like him. He's a werewolf and they're notoriously easy to piss off. The easiest way to get him mad is to mess with someone he cares about, especially his siblings or Fallon Crow. She's the one that he believes is his mate. Maybe one day he'll get the courage to claim her.
Silas is an easygoing guy. Very laid back, and not very serious at times. He’s always going everywhere and anywhere with his twin, Selena, who he loves dearly. Silas loves all of his family members. While he is aware of finding true love, it seems that arranged marriages are the way to go, and he has not objected to it yet. But he wishes his family would’ve found their love their way. While keeping these thoughts to himself. He knows they mean well. Silas is a calm guy and doesn’t get angry very often unless you hurt his family or are disloyal toward them. He enjoys nature walks and going outdoors. He enjoys all things nature and sports loving. Silas enjoys hiking, bird watching, photography, and anything outdoors. Silas dislikes being cooped up, in a house, for very long. He is very loyal to his family and friends, and will not give up on them and even give them second chances.
My name is Selena Elaine Moretti and I'm the youngest of my family. I'm a born werewolf and have a twin Silas and an older brother Samson. My mom is the head of Horned Serpent and dad is the keeper and keys of Ilvermorny.
My name is Crispin, but I go by Cris. I'm the youngest of three. I have an older sister Bronwyn the future Alpha of the Shadow Moon pack. My parents are the Alpha and Luna of the werewolf pack right now. Both of my siblings had arranged marriages and they are the love of their life's. Being a third I didn't have an arranged marriage. Which is fine one day I hope to find my mate, but for now I'll have fun while I'm playing Professional Quodpot.
