A Test of Loyalties
by Dark Duality Productions
The shadow of the Dark Ages spreads throughout Europe, reaching even into the farthest regions of England. Within the cathedrals and markets of London, potent forces shape the very future of the world.

The Long Night has ended and now the War of Princes spreads like a wildfire through Kindred domains. A decade ago, the Flaying Plague drove the Garou from the lands around London, their homes and sacred places defiled by cunning sorcerers. The new ways and the old surge toward one another with the dread finality of fate behind them, but there remains hope to find a way for the two to coexist.

Allies or enemies, there are greater things that lurk by night for the magi of England to concern themselves with now, but will this prevent them noticing the future doom until it is upon them? Concerns for mortal vanity, lust for power, and blind intolerance all act as weights around their necks, but will they welcome the darkness or rail against it?

So gather tonight at the one of 3 nights of the Annual Royal Ball of Queen Pelichard , enjoy the food, dance and play the official game of the court ... intrigue... as the Duke de Carrabas returns from his journey. The kingdom may never be the same.

Hetep-di-nesw: A Gift the King Gives
by The Jade Rabbit
At night, the streets of the old Frankish quarter of Cairo are busy. This quarter is the one that sees the most New Europan travelers, who come to Aegypt to enjoy the temperate clime, explore the ancient temples, or indulge some other personal pursuit. There are vendors selling shish-kabobs and stuffed sandwiches, donkey drivers and dragomen looking for work, as well as dirt-smudged urchins who eagerly follow tourists to beg for a few coins. Few have eyes for the dark figure that darts in among the trees, then climbs one of the leafy palms that lies near the front terrace of Shepherd’s Hotel. The thinnest slice of a silhouette stretches across a whitewashed wall before it disappears inside.

Tonight, even the current favorite of the Pasha might have a difficult time getting into the private dining rooms of this famous hotel. It has been reserved by Lord Russell, who is showing some of the singular ancient Aegyptian treasures that have been unearthed by his recent excavations in Thebes. Given his “diverse” tastes in guests, the gathering is sure to be one of the more unusual highlights of the Social Season. For more details, please visit www.the-jade-rabbit.com/games/hdn/.
