Synopsis

In the high and remote places of Bech, the fortress Schloss Eisenberg (Iron Mountain Castle) was the armory where the old Imperator stored arms and armor in the event of general war. The Imperatrix too has laid aside a significant store of war materiel – and now is the hour when those goods are most needed. But the Eisenberg is bordered by the Eisenwald; a dark and deep forest from which few who enter return. The presence of marauding bands of grimjaws has not lessened any of the monstrous menaces of Bech. Today, some force has gathered those ancient foes into a significant, and unprecedented army – and their goal? To seize the armory at Eisenberg. The fighting companies of Bech are already committed in the war against the grimjaws. The mountainous terrain and dark forest, haunted by the legendary Jagermann, restrict the relief force to a band of fearless adventurers …who will answer the call?

The Illumin calendar leaves a lone, 5 day week at the midpoint of the year. Occurring just at the end of Summer, as the Autumn harvest looms, the Midyear Festival is a time of revelry, celebration and joy. But the Verrakans will never be outdone by their Illumin cousins. Midyear in Verrakis is a party for the ages.

Entertainers from far off lands, exotic goods and food and drink are here for all to enjoy.

But the Grimjaw threat has not yet ended, and danger is always just around the corner.

Registration

PC Early Registration is $60. It is slightly higher than usual due to the location and duration of the event. Registration price will go up a bit before the game. There will be no onsite registration, as we must pay the full site costs several weeks before the event. We recommend you reserve this as soon as you can. We’ll announce the end of early registration and the end of registration very soon.

All NPCs may attend free. They should be prepared to provide their own food and shelter. We’ll have a lot of water on hand, though. We have a lot of fun carnival roles and a lot of heavy combat parts to hand out, so we encourage all NPCs or groups of NPCs to contact us at npcs@dyingkingdoms.com as soon as you know you are coming. We want as many NPCs as possible and we want them involved in planning the event as early as possible.

There will be a large group meal the first night and probably a breakfast as part of the festival atmosphere. There will be a seperate fee for those who would like to be involved. This will be announced in a week or two.

MEAL TICKETS NOW AVAILABLE FOR BOTH  NPCs and PCs:

Menu (subject to change):

• Friday night: hotdogs and hamburgers
• Lunches Saturday and Sunday: Hotdogs and peanut butter and jelly
• Saturday night: pulled pork / pulled chicken sandwiches with sides
• Sunday night: smoked chicken and Tri-tip plus sides.
• Every night: Desert bar
• Lemonaide and water all weekend.

Since this is such a big game in September we are going to be doing a pre-pay for food only. If you can not afford it, send an email to Chad and he can work something out. Armond always has work in the tavern Email: Chad [dot] martorano [at] gmail [dot] com

For those of you who are only looking for a 1 day meal type thing we can also help you out there. It will be $7 on site.

Please email Chad if you are planning on the one day meal plan so he can count heads.

Summary

Syrellin, the Elven city, is all but lost to the world. Many of the High Road’s paths are closed, and the city itself under siege. They are only a few intact paths known, one of them deep within Culberron.

But Culberron is plagued with Grimjaws as well and the newly formed alliance has only begun to make headway against this threat.

The road will not be easy.

Details

Early registration pricing has ended.

There are no parking fees onsite this game. Hooray! Early registration for PCs will be 40. This will go to 50 two weeks before game and onsite. Two weeks before game we will open the single night rate which will be $30.

This game will be free for NPCs, but a donation of $10 would be appreciated.

The town of Witchcross is famous for its Witches Circle and magicians. The great confluence of foreigners, dignitaries and adventurers have brought many other travelers to Witchcross, to rub shoulders with the mighty and the exotic.

Event Details

This is a two part event.
Friday, 9pm – 2am – Newport Beach Room The summit of national leaders and their representatives is held. This will be a non-combat, court style game. Pre-generated political characters will be available for new players and for players whose PCs are not politically involved. See the forums for information and costume suggestions.

Sunday, 10am – 2pm – Emerald Bay Room – Immediately following the court session in Witchcross. This will be an action game with significant amounts of combat, but will also deal with numerous RP challenges and fallout from the court event. There are lots of NPC roles needed as well as combat NPCs. There will be a small number of pre-generated adventurer PCs available for newcomers.

Online registration is now closed so that we can print up the registration sheet. On site registration for PCs is $40. Rob Telmar will be handling check in and on site registration.

NPC registration onsite is still just $10 or free with a group of 3.

There are problems left unresolved in the rapidly growing city of Ankhtaret. It’s position as the seat of government in Ikhten has led to a population boom and new construction and improved farming have raised it far above its once meager means. But its rapid ascent did not come freely and now the consequences must be met.

Meanwhile, there have been more and more sightings of the unknown grey and green skinned creatures. Their oversized mouths and their tendency to attack townships at night have earned them the nickname, ‘Grimjaws’ in the Empire. There are reports of their appearance as far north as Skjanos and as far south as the jungles of Aswahi. There have been no reports of attacks on major cities … yet.

The world is on the cusp of a great change as ancient prophecy begins at long last to unfold.

NPCs

We are doing our usual NPC group rate. Come with a group of 3 or more and make sure you have enough tents and food for the whole group and your rate is FREE. Solo NPCs or those who would just like to donate to the game can register below for $10 for the full weekend. If you are using the group rate, please RSVP to Morgan at webmaster@dyingkingdoms.com so that we can gauge our NPC numbers.

Site and Arrival Time

Staff will be coming onsite around 2pm, so you can arrive anytime after this. We will go game time in as soon as it is feasible given PC and NPC arrival times. Once we have enough PCs and NPCs to run plot we will try to start, and other PCs can ‘arrive in town’ and set up camp in or out of character.

Event Information

Please convene at the Santa Cruz room.  This will be our production/staging room and it is where you should leave your out of game material (please don’t leave any valuables behind though).  The game will be held in the Santa Monica and Santa Maria rooms.  Though we have those rooms until about 10pm, main plot events should be completed before 8pm for those players who have other games to get to.

We are planning to start on time this game.  And will make at least one of our event rooms “in-game” as close to 2pm as possible.  If you arrive after this, drop by the Santa Cruz room and prepare to head to the other rooms in character.

If there is anyone that does not mind missing the first 30-40 minutes of game, Jess and I could use the assistance of one or two people to get NPCs and late arrivals into costume and directed to the right place so that the rest of the game can start on time (for a volunteer point of course).  If you are interested in helping with this email me at webmaster[at]dyingkingdoms[dot]com .
