Event Description

Aiden turned to his companions, "Are we sure this is the way? " With nervous confidence Omri replied "Absolutely. I learned a spell and dropped a pin. We are ready." Under the light of J'ortsa's necklace they began their journey.

It's been a year since the chains have been broken and Dream has been set free. While he must attend to rebuilding, Matthew the Crow has been sent to ensure that the DreamSmith is reforged, and that any residual impacts of Dream's sister have been dealt with.

**There will also be a resolution to the Makhta vampire plot for good or ill.

**Sean is an EH so you can never rule out surprise Chim plot.

No prior plot knowledge needed.

Questing from Friday night to Saturday night. Sunday will allow for roleplay followup. Sunday will also feature unrelated "Loose Ends" questing in the form of mods that Kathy has left over from other events (or that players request in advance) -- so far that's a flower from the Library of Fae and the Cheese Thief Quest from Gilded Lion.

Rumors to be updated randomly.

Other Notes

We are starting with a sliding scale. Pay what you can. It's tough everywhere.

While the event is in a year, we have to pay $1000 for land now, so pre-reg and payment is greatly appreciated.

Randy is celebrating 40 years of larping by ending this event with an everything must go sale or giveaway (that he plans to trick Tao into managing). That means loads of sweaty masks and props will be up for grabs on Sunday. Time to clean my house a bit. If I don't retire as planned I know where I can borrow stuff. Not definitely my last event I hold, but at least my basement will get cleaned. Hope to see you there.
