The New World Magischola universe is entirely unique, including a whole different set of school founders and houses. "You'll be sorted into one of the five houses of New World Magischola, and meet friends (and rivals) among your housemates, classmates, and peers," promises the Kickstarter. The LARP's art director, Lars Bundvad, designed unique house crests that represent every sort of New World Magischola student.

To learn more about the school and its magical history, you can read plenty of in-depth descriptions on the Magischola website. And even better, you can take a quiz online to see which house best suits you!

Honorable and courageous, members of this house are associated with cryptozoology and "value tradition, honor, and bold action to uphold and protect the Magimundi and their secrets."

You might remember the name Marie Laveau from American Horror Story and voodoo mythology, but according to the New World Magischola history, she founded Lakay Laveau. Members of this house are charismatic, opportunistic, observant, and borderline manipulative. "The world is your playground — in the dark and in the light — and you are the master of your domain," describes the house site.

Symbolized by a bear, Maison Du Bois members are just, noble, strong, and loyal — much like their house founder, European explorer Étienne Brulé. They value order and morality and aren't afraid to do what's right.

"Casa Calisaylá is named for its house founder, the last surviving member of the Karankawa, a group of Indigenous North Americans who lived along what is now the coast of Texas and its islands. Karankawans were completely wiped out by war and disease after contact with the Spanish conquistadors," describes the house site. It goes on to describe the house as rebellious and innovative, with a strong focus on equality.
