A mysterious invitation has been sent out to every single person in the city. Rich, or poor. Young, or old. No matter the species or what leader they answer to, all have been given an opportunity to make this a memorable Halloween. The population whispers, rumors spread surrounding the motivation behind such a massive event, but the Pendragon’s are an ancient vampire family with money and time at their disposal, and room to spare at their Upper St. Vladimir’s property bordering the Bloodhearth county line. Now that the mourning period for their late daughter comes to an end, they re-enter the social sphere with a bang. Their wealth is legendary, and their connections are even more so. It’s a wonder they haven’t done something of this scale sooner.
And the theme for this special Halloween event? A masqueraded journey through seven circles of Hell. Travel through your darkest fears, beloved vices, pleasures beyond comprehension to reach the end, the inner circle. An exclusive and costly soiree that only the bravest and most curious among us can hope to reach. The Pendragons have thought of it all, and what they haven’t thought of their money has thought of for them. The only thing for their guests to do is find a costume, grab a friend, and join them on October 31st for a twenty-four hour revel you will never forget.
Welcome to the spookiest month of the year! This month we’ll be having one major event that happens for 24 hours in-game time. In real-time we’ll be dragging it out over the course of a full week (schedule below). That’s right, for a week we’ll be posting small little plot drops to keep things moving at this Masquerade Ball. Additionally, the Pendragon’s will be hiring some Redcap muscle to run security at the event, so if your Redcap wants to take on that position, feel free!
Some things to keep in mind:
There will be 7 different circles with 7 different themes your character can enter over the course of the party. They must pass through each in order to get to the most exclusive part of the party, the inner circle. Not everyone will want to make it that far, some of the entry requirements might have them turning back, or maybe they’ll be up for the challenge and the status granted to inner circle members. The themes of each circle are a secret for now, and will be revealed over the coming weeks one at a time in no particular order. The member with the highest XP in Discord chat will pick the first circle they’d like revealed, and so on down the line. We’ll message you when it’s your turn to pick which circle’s theme and entry requirement is revealed next. Stay tuned as we update this post.
