Player Information
Venue Name: Ashes of the Phoenix, CND-003 (Domain of Blood and Silver)
Genre: Changeling
Contact: Chris Fougere (ADST: Mage/Changeling) [email protected]
Place/Time: Unsure as of yet. This venue sheet is mainly to serve as a
placeholder until a Changeling venue game starts up
Information: Alexander Morningstar is dead, dead, dead. Enough of that old
chestnut. His true nature was discovered and he was killed but at a great
cost to the cities Kithain. There has been a war going on for the last year
in the streets and in the Dreaming. The Mists have covered most of it, but
not all. Alexander's troops and those of Count Basil Quickblade have been
involved in a prolonged war effort that has only recently seen victory for
the enemies of the Winter Court. Freeholds have been destroyed, treasures
lost and countless lives ended. Finally Anexander was destroyed by a cold
iron dagger, but the forces of Count Basil do not take credit for it. Is
there a third faction? Is someone loyal to the count lying? How will this
affect the city as it struggles to rebuild?
However, Count Basil is not the savior he seems. He is a devout beleiver in
the divine right of the Sidhe to rule the Fae. His court has descended into
petty squables over what few sources of Glamour Fredericton still has. The
lot of the commoner, even those who fought with him in the war, is little
better then it was under Alexander. As a warrior, Basil made a great general
but as a ruler in "peace" he's saddly lacking. What little he does right as
a leader is thanks to his advisor Sir Malvain. What noone knows is that Sir
Malvain is of the Unseelie Court himself. It was he who assassinated
Alexander, who was becoming too much of a liability. While he may seem
sympathetic to the commoner ideals and is often "on their side", he has his
own agenda and goals which are anything but altruistic.

My policy on characters/influences/items and events or plots from other
Chapters or Domains is fairly lenient. Its impossible to think of every
possible scenario that could come up but I do have some guidelines.
Intrigue (politics and negotiation): 4
Action (combat and challenges): 3
Mystery (enigmas and investigation): 4
Drama (ceremony and characterization): 4
Darkness (probability of player character death or corruption): 4

Player Information
Venue Name: Phoenix's Ashes
Genre: Changeling
Contact: Chris Fougere ([email protected])
Place/Time: To be decided
Directions: Depends on where we play, likely the University
Theme/Mood: Dark Fantasy
Character restrictions: As per the 5.1 rules, characters who have been in
the city for a while must explain their actions/positions during the war.
Some Kithain, both Noble and Commoner unknowingly supported Alexander and
must now deal with the fact that they supported the enemy. Players are free
to play either Nobles or Commoners as each character will be making
decisions on how they feel about the Count. The Freehold and Trod
backgrounds will be closely monitored as those resources are in short supply
right now.
Proxy rules: As per the 5.1 rules and a written statement that the player
accepts that bad things up to and including character death may happen.
Travel risks: Dependant on travel method. The Trods here are dangerous,
fallen into disrepair and those that remain in good condition are heavily
guarded.
Challenges: The ST is the final authority on what retests are allowed. Any
challenge argued "extensively" will assumed to be relented to, save
questions on rules calls until the end of the session.

Passed Thespis (y/n): Yes Style: Dark Fantasy
Antagonists: There are many who would try to take advantage of the situation
in the city. Looting as it were, claiming freeholds (those few that remain).
The dreaming in the area is darker, as are the chimera. The city has seen a
year or more of constant war and death and that taints the world of the
Kithain. There are Dauntain here, brought by Alexander secretly as a weapon
against the Count's forces. The main danger though is in choosing the wrong
side in a intrigue riddled court.
Venue rules: As per the 5.1 and The Shining Host
Visiting character/plot policy: Characters will be verified by me before
game play. All characters will have up to date experience logs. Anything
requiring DST or higher approval will have prove of such. NPCs from outside
the Domain will not be allowed unless it is something intregal to the larger
chronicle (Kings, Queens etc). All players will have cards denoting the
abilities and attributes of any Tresures/Chimera or Companions. I don't mind
plotlines from other Domains being mentioned but if it is a major plot I
want to see it in advance to avoid any complications in the local game.
