Welcome to St Erisian's
This boarding school for girls was established in 1866 but the building
itself dates from the early 16th century. It has had a chequered history
and been the source of much speculation and rumour. There are many foolish
historical tales of witchcraft, necromancy and demonology leading to chaos,
murder and sacrifice at the house. However, such lurid tales are surely
the result of idle gossip and local legend. Several rumours persist about
the girls at the school getting up to worse, but there is no evidence
to support such accusations, and you'll be lucky to find someone ready
to talk.
Hellcats and Hockeysticks is a game about this school and the girls who
study there. To say the curriculum is quite unique is an understatement.
The staff have learnt that the best way to impart knowledge to these unruly
girls is to follow the maxim 'teach them what they want to learn'. So
the girls have a wide range of skills from French to Firearms and from
Drama to Demolitions. There are nine 'cliques' that the characters might
come from and, while they share a friendship that crosses those boundaries,
it isn't a friendship that means they always have to be nice to each other.
