Dresden Academy Houses
Sorting into the Dresden houses occurs over the summer when new students receive their acceptance letter and decide to attend. At present all sorting is done by Mother Criss who has a brief interview with each student at the school before proclaiming the house into which they belong. She uses her divinatory gifts to guide her decisions, but sometimes makes conscious choices at her discretion that result in a student being placed in a house that doesn't seem like the perfect fit but will benefit them far greater. Headmistress Hulett has yet to find another system of sorting that works for her school, though she worries what will happen when Mother Criss moves on. | |||||||||
