Discoveries

Overview

Discoveries are a way to keep track of what areas the player has explored. They are unlocked after the player has visited the place for the first time and give some interesting background information on the location. Discoveries are completely optional and many will be unlocked unintentionally while doing quests or exploring. Currently, there are 177 different discoveries that a player can unlock throughout the world.

Accessing Discoveries

In order to access their discoveries, players can do /me in-game and click on the icon of the Earth that says “Discoveries”. Additionally, players can do /discovery or /discoveries to access their discoveries. Here, players are able to see and re-read all of the discoveries that they have unlocked and see how many they still need to find. There are 14 different world areas that discoveries can be unlocked from, which are: Hogsworth, Hogsend, London, Suthedge, Longbay, Squalus Bay, Griffin’s Hollow, Central Flatlands, Ireland, Deep Forest, Northern Mountains, Gnollberg Shores, Greenshore, and The Dark Prison.
There are also three different categories of discoveries: Domain, Landmarks, and Restricted. Domain discoveries are unlocked when the player first visits a large location, such as entire towns. Each world area will always have at least one Domain discovery, though some include multiple. Landmark discoveries are unlocked when players go to specific locations within a Domain. For example, the Great Hall is a Landmark discovery that is found within the overall Domain of Hogsworth. Restricted discoveries are similar to Landmarks in that they are smaller locations, but they are only hidden areas and are the hardest to find. Some Restricted discoveries may only be accessible at a certain level since particular spells are needed to obtain them.

List of Hogsworth Discoveries

The table below shows a handful of the Discoveries that can be found at Hogsworth as an example.

Name	Description	Category	Level Required
Hogsworth	School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Hogsworth is home to many young witches and wizards. Surrounded by a huge forest and a lake, it is one of the safest places in the wizarding world. “Perched upon rocky crags, the castle itself towers above the lake, imposing itself upon the horizon. A symbol of the wizarding world, Hogsworth is more than just a school. It is an institution.” - Galvorius Griswold, “The Unabridged History of Hogsworth”	Domain	1
Griffin Common Room	The House of the Brave Marked by its cosy atmosphere, red & gold decor, and the faint smell of pumpkin juice, the Griffin Common Room has been the home of many great wizard and witches at Hogsworth. It is guarded by the portrait of the Fat Lady at the corner of the 7th floor. "Be a Griffin, in the moments where the challenges seem impossible, when you should stand up instead of stepping aside, and when you see those opportunities about to pass you by. Be Griffin." - Headmaster Droobledore, 2020 Hogsworth "Address to the Graduates"	Landmark	1
Serpent Common Room	The House of the Cunning Situated in the dungeons of Hogsworth Castle, the Serpent Common Room is surprisingly warm thanks to its enormous hearth. By far the largest common room, first-years can often be seen gazing out the back window into the Black Lake. "Be a Serpent, and embrace those ambitions in your life. Who you want to be, what you want to achieve, and never let anyone stop you from reaching your dreams. Never be afraid to go your own path. You don’t need to follow behind someone else’s footsteps; forge your own path, find your direction, and stoke that ambition to reach it. Know who you are and never be ashamed of it! Without the fire to chase the stars, we would never have reached them as a human race. To learn what is your next step in life, I would say… be a Serpent." - Headmaster Droobledore, 2020 Hogsworth "Address to the Graduates"	Landmark	1
Honeybadger Common Room	The House of the Kind Filled with plants and miscellaneous clutter, the Honeybadger Common Room is circular to promote human interaction and help facilitate the kind & social nature of the house. Occasionally, you can smell whatever is for dinner wafting from the nearby Kitchens. "Be a Honeybadger, in the moments where you are invited to gatherings, and choose to have charity and show kindness to others, show loyalty even in the toughest of times... And most importantly, choose to do the right thing in your heart. In the end, be a Honeybadger." - Headmaster Droobledore, 2020 Hogsworth "Address to the Graduates"	Landmark	1
Raven Common Room	The House of the Wise With high ceilings, frequent bookshelves and floor-to-ceiling windows, the Raven Common Room almost resembles a very ostentatious library.  Due to the fact that the room is in a tower, students can gaze at practically every corner of the castle grounds. "Be a Raven, and search for that meaning in life that defines you. When you find your passions and thirst for that knowledge to learn all you can about it, don’t shy away. To ever keep improving and expanding your limits. To never be complacent about what you have learnt, and always reach for more. To this, be Raven." - Headmaster Droobledore, 2020 Hogsworth "Address to the Graduates"	Landmark	1
Great Hall	Directly off of the entrance hall is where the Great Hall is found. Meals are held here for Hogsworth Students and therefore it is a very large room with 4 tables for students to sit with their house. Floating candles fill up the room with their light as they litter the open air underneath the ceiling which is enchanted to mimic the sky above. At the front of the room sits a final table for Head Staff to be seated as well as a pedestal for the Headmaster to address the school. "My favourite part of the year is watching the first years' eyes glitter as they walk into the Great Hall for the first time. They look around at all of the students as they anxiously wait to be sorted into a house. The Sorting Hat sits at the front beckoning them to the front of the room to decide their fate. It really is a memorable moment in a student's life." - Scarlett, Hogsworth Guide	Landmark	1
Kitchens	Near the Honeybadger Common Room, there is a painting with a fruit basket where the kitchens are located. Down a set of steep stone stairs is a basement with tables identical to the Great Hall. Around the walls of the room there are fireplaces, cauldrons, stoves, shelves, and various other cooking materials which allow all of the meals to be prepped right there in the Hogsworth Kitchens. "Anything we place on this table is magically transported to the tables in the Great Hall! It is quite amazing isn't it? However- That's what I was going to say, please don't place yourself on the table!" - Winnie, House-elf	Landmark	1
Trophy Room	Accessible down the staircase hidden behind the Head Staff table in the Great Hall, the Trophy Room is a jewel of Hogsworth. Dozens of trophies from hundreds of years litter every surface of the room. Though inherently beautiful, students often dread visiting because it usually means they will be shining the trophies in detention. "Meet us in the Trophy Room because it is almost always unlocked." - Drakius Malfin	Landmark	1
Great Hall Courtyard	Just two steps outside the entrance hall, the Great Hall Courtyard is a central place for Hogsworth students. It is a place to study, hang out, meet up, and in most cases travel from wings of the castle. It is relatively barren, but has various benches around the edges and Hogsworth Guards placed at the entrance. Additionally, you will find a cart with all of the latest Daily Diviner Issues to the right of the Great Hall. "Did you hear what happened today? The new professor broke up a duel in the courtyard right after Potions." - Martin, Serpent student	Landmark	1
The Vanishing Cabinet	A passageway between Shade Alley and Hogsworth, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. People, creatures and items disappear upon closing the doors. This is a quicker way to get between the two areas. "This Vanishing Cabinet was broken years ago. My father, Drakius Malfin, mended it when he was a student. Dark Followers flooded in through here." - Serpio Malfin	Restricted	1
