Event Annoucement from Gimli (original) (raw)
Damas y Caballeros de la Camarilla,
There are only so many ways to describe an event. Some may say that an event is a life time of work and preparation, while others may see it as a mere happenstance that occurs perhaps only once in one's life time. Some here have seen many life times, so I am certain they have seen several events take place.
But I digress with such a frivolous analysis and continue past the meat to the marrow.
We welcome you one and all to 'Decor Per Nox Noctis' (latin for 'beauty throughout night')
In the dead of winter, in the month of Febrero (February), the kindred of the north shall hold an event that shall put to shame any previous events held in the peaceful lands of Canada. An event that shall melt the ice that surrounds your hearts and warm the strings that pull it.
The kindred of the northern territories of the Camarilla wish to show good faith in it's members, thus there shall be several events taking place to entertain visitors from a far.
A Poker Tournament called "The Kings of Hearts" shall take place on Friday of the event. The proprietors of said event shall be Harpy Ligatio and Bochellio Giovanni, whom shall be acting as director. The buy in shall be 100 thousand dollars. Should one wish to contact either of these individuals they can do so at the folllowing addresses:
Harpy Ligatio: korymcjann@shaw.ca
Bochellio Giovanni: bochelliogiovanni@reddz.com
To save enquires pertaining to the system they shall use, I have added their system here:
Mr. Giovanni would like to mention that volunteer dealers are still required, and they shall be paid a percentage of the proceeds for their services. Also proper 'Poker Etiquette' shall be enforced.

Our beloved Prince Natasha Volkov shall be holding 'formal court' upon the Saturday evening, as well as a 'meet and greet' before most of the activities start on the Friday evening. Should individuals of our honored Sect wish to pre-arrange meetings with the Prince, she shall entertain their requests thru the Harpy of the Domain or thru their Primogen. In addition, Prince Volkov and Seneschal Ritcher wish that all present on the Saturday evening to please dress appropriately and in a formal manner to show respect. There shall be no excuse for ignorance.
An event would not be an event without Keeper Etienne once again entertaining us with his style and flare; his jocularity and passion. Always the cherub amoungst us, and with an all too quirky smile from this Harpy, he presents his First Annual "Lover's Quarrel" Ball just after Saturday's formal court. Come dressed as the 'Vampire' you admire the most or most despise and mingle amoungst the masses and partake in cupid's creative cabal of combined credited characters.
And lastly, but certainly not least, to enrich us all and to entice the masses and the dignitaries that shall travel north, the Clans shall be putting on a First Annual Torneo de Campeonato (Championship Tournament) known as "The Trials of the Heart" (or as I like to say, 'Los Ensayos del
Corazón') Thus far, the following Clans have stepped foward to present their
trials:
The Test of Swordsmanship (Hosted by the Learned Clan)
The Test of Wits (Hosted by the Clan of Kings)
The Test of Woo (Hosted by the Clan of the Rose.)
The Test of Wisdom (Hosted by Clan Tremere)
The Test of the Hunt (Hosted by Clan Gangrel)
Should there be any questions regarding 'The Trials of the Heart', I believe Seneschal Ritcher can be contacted at ravnosmonster@msn.com to entertain your inquiries . I believe the Primogen shall also entertain any of your inquiries privately. I shall provide contact information for the Primogen upon request.
Until then, I wish you all well and say that this is only the beginning...
Beunas Noches!
