The rumors sweep across the Empire and citizens and non-citizens alike are caught up by them. The Senate has been in an extended session and it is said that what they debate are the Emperor’s recommendations for the abolition of slavery in Illumin. In the far off provinces commoners argue the issue in taverns and bars like old politicians while many of the provincial nobles have begun to quietly levy militias and horde their tax revenues.

Now, after weeks of closed doors the Emperor and the Senate are holding court to allow the nobility and the citizens to be heard. Now is the chance for the Illumin people to witness where their leaders stand on this contentious issue. And of course, these are the Illumin courts, where obscured motives and secret agreements are a more esteemed tradition than the Emperor’s crown of laurel.

With unexpected guests, a possible execution and the looming threat of civil war, this is a pivotal moment in the grand history of the Empire.

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 .
