Olin Ozero, Putnam Polnovat, Tanya Togliatti and Tegen Tobolsk were the best of friends.
They all shared a wish, to make a school of magical learninig.
They chose a large area of land in the north of Russia, and built a giant stone castle, and guarded it with the most complex and defensive spells know at that time.
'But how can we know if the students owns our qualities ?' Asked Ozero to the other founders three.
'We could make a Sword of Sorting' Reasoned Tegen.
'How about a Goblet of Insight !' suggested Polnovat
'That's a great idea' Churrped up Olin Ozero 'Who agrees with me ?'
'I do' Tanya told Ozero
'So do I' Said Tobolsk.
'So it is agreed, we shall have a Goblet to Sort the pupils of our school !' Said Polnovat.
So all the founders charmed a cup, to sort it's holder into:
Ozero of the Sly, who always want to win !
Polnovat of the Brave and Noble
Togliatti of the Clever and Logicists
Tobolsk of those who make great friends, and value fair play.
