Realms of Adventure - October Event (Season Finale)

For the better part of a year, most of the churches of Adraveth have been embroiled in a holy war over a relic in the posession of the church of Gorvaak. The church of Jeredith has been leading the charge, believing the Gorvaakians will use it as a weapon, a claim they adamantly refute. Despite many proposals for peaceful resolution, neither side is willing to give in. People are disappearing, merchants are scared to travel the roads, and wearing an icon of your god could make you a target. Those who have chosen sides in the conflict face constant persecution from the nobles who refuse to tolerate crimes of any nature. Each side watches the other with suspicion, and the guard watches them both to maintain order as secret operations unfold. With no end in sight, donations pour in from the churches' supporters, and victory may be had by the side whose resources do not run dry. Deaths continue to mount as each side makes its offensives, and it seems the one certainty is that this war will have a victor. Only time will tell what the aftermath of that triumph will be...

Realms of Adventure - September Event

The frontier town of New Calendale, nestled gently between the Whispering Woods and Dunford Bay is a scenic area for sure, but it's no destination for tourists. On the outskirts of civilization it's prone to goblinoid attacks, wild beasts invading from the forests, and all manner of shady characters passing through. Not to mention the common appearance of wandering undead and even extra-planar beings! Still, it's rich with opportunity and the town's settlers are making the most of their home. Many adventuring sorts have also taken up residence here for their own reasons. Maybe it's for the excitement. Maybe it's to escape the past. Maybe it's a calling from their faith. Or maybe they simply have nowhere else to go. One thing they soon realize is that this place is filled with wonders to be discovered and things you can't experience anywhere else in the world. Untold adventure awaits when you live the magic at Realms of Adventure!

World of Darkness - July Game - Auburn, Alabama

Hello, everyone! It's time for Auburn's monthly Changeling and Requiem games! The games will be held on the 2nd of July, which is this Saturday, or day after tomorrow for those of you with poor reading comprehension, time and date tracking skills, or who are simply big fans of having things explained to you.

IC City Information

Requiem

The court of Auburn is settling after some of it's biggest changes in years. With Alita de la Cruz and Fairfax Pennington dead, and the new prince's rule challenged by other powers in the city, the city is a political hotbed. Old enemies have become new allies, and there are still other threats lurking in the years of history behind the area, which no one can judge more than the recently destroyed Chief Investigator, Peter Locke. Though the mortal who challenged the rule of kindred is now dead, his spirit still persists, making running the city more and more dangerous with each passing night.

Changeling

The court of Auburn has found itself dealing with new threats, an insidious, but strangely peaceful blood cult has been revealed to have potential ties to a dangerous enemy of the concept of regency. The local goblin market continues to be a mystery, moving from ally to enemy with a frequency that only denizens of the hedge could.
