Its actually really surreal to be writing this post right now, after three and half years it is with a heavy heart that I announce that Jules and I have made the decision to close Hollow Grove. We have been so blessed to have such an amazing group of writers come and go from this group, who have taken this concept and grown it into what you see today. I honestly can’t put into words how much this group and all its members mean to me and how difficult this decision was for us to make, but like they say, all good things must come to an end. Thank you so much to everyone who has been apart of this group and seen it through so many different life cycles and phases. You all have really made this group what it is and we would never have come this far without you.
The Founders Council announced later Sunday Night, September 29th that trials would begin Wednesday afternoon October 2nd for the clave members caught during the Blood Moon event. Anyone harmed by these clave members is invited to come forward and testify to the crimes done against them during the event and prior to. The council hopes to vet out any and all crimes by these members to properly sentence them for their crimes.
A NOTE FROM THE ADMIN
As we get ready for our next big plots for the group we wanted to tie up lose ends from the previous plot drops. You are welcome to have your character come forward to testify or be impacted by this. Your character can know those caught or have been affected by them prior too the Blood Moon event. After the trials the fates of these Clave members will be decided by the council and carried out accordingly. The intent is to give the town something to talk about, if you have questions or want to throw ideas at Jules and I please hit us up, we are absolutely looking forward to fleshing out this plot more!
