Description of Venue A turning point is at hand for the Forsaken of the Golden Heart City... Reduced to almost nothing they have bought back their pride with blood and scars. They have challenged the dominance of the Napoleon of the Anshega: Alaine Clovis Trebuchard and have ground his expansion to halt. The Pure dread crossing the paths of Forsaken like Ezekiel the Moon-maw or Peter Heke. They fear that their totems and spirit servants wil be bound into uselessness by the likes of Jasmine Heke. They worry that their kin and human patsies will be dragged to jail by none other than Drake Strife. The proud Anshega are getting tired of paying heed to these terrorists. The kettle is done simmering and now it's about to boil over. Once again the Urdaga will have to fight and bleed to defend what is theirs. The game will be oriented to several packs of 3 to 8 characters, the characters will have genuine opportunities to push Forsaken dominance over Fairbanks and its surrounds and claim territory and loci for their packs. However the Pure will challenge the characters at every turn and blood will be shed. The Anshega will not be the only challenge the characters will face Fairbanks has recently been found to have a Beshilu infestation which are notoriously hard to get rid of. Several Wounds have formed that will stay and fester if the Forsaken do not handle them. To top it off ancient and horrible things stir in the Hisil. The Spirit courts of Fairbanks are mostly nominally aligned with the Pure with the some noted exceptions: * The Raven March, which is in the middle of a civil war between Rot-Beak and his Carrion Birds and the Sun-Stealer and his Army. * The Darkness Court, which grows to such power in the Winter no Uratha can exercise any control over them. * The Helions which eschew the Uratha in most things, and reach comparable power to the Darkness Court in the Midnight Sun of the Summer. * The Duchy of Wind and Air which is notoriously whimsical and thus neutral. The focus of the game will be dominance. The Forsaken will have to prove they have the right to be in charge, and in some cases the right to be alive.

Visiting Character Guidelines * Give us a heads up that you're coming, be nice, and have a good time! Feel free to email the VST if you might need crash space as well. Proxy Rules * Proxied characters may find themselves in reduced, even non-existent roles do to a small narrator staff. * Please give at least 72 hours warning for proxy and complete the requirements listed in the Camarilla Rules Supplement. * All proxy requests must contain stated intent and desired actions, a complete character sheet, and thorough descriptions of the characters typical reactions to potential situations. * Some interaction may be able to be accomplished via email or IRC with prior arrangement. * Please email the VST for more details. Travel Risks * Alaska to put it bluntly is frickin huge, the State's area accounts for one fifth of all the US's total land mass. The Fairbanks North Star Borough (we have boroughs instead of counties) is roughly equal in size to the State of Connecticut. With all that in mind you can see that traveling overland is going to be a significant undertaking, wind and snow aside. Also it is assumed that several chunks of the Alaskan wilderness are controlled by the Pure. Air travel is safe though somewhat expensive but is your best bet getting up here quickly and without hassle. Travel by road is also an option but is somewhat time consuming and involves crossing through Canada. |
