The Crows receive a contract on the life of Count Arturo Montagne. It appears he has quite a few enemies, as there are multiple contracts out on his life. The contracts all depict different reasons from gambling debts to the intentional blocking of a political marriage. The reasons do not matter, though. It’s a race between all interested assassins for a hefty sum (not to mention bragging rights).

There have been rumors of a sighting of a Rage Demon near the Northern Gate. Concerned, Knight Commander Osborn Louchart asks for someone to look into it. Iveani Ralaferin, Sylvaine Severin, and Sorin Ghrian offer to check things out.

In the interest of increasing Warden recruitments, Warden Commander Frieda Ortan arranges for a recruitment event to give interested parties a chance to approach the Wardens… and potentially to look for promising conscripts via the accompanying tourney, which is likely to draw many spectators. The tourney pits Wardens against any willing challengers. Adan Sarazin is triumphant in a battle against Aeren. However, Caspian Pentaghast loses a battle against Asmund Astyth, whose skill definitely attracts The Warden Commander’s attention. A messy fight between Midha Aenoch and Ilshae Alerion ends in a respectable tie. Prince Aurelian attends the event, but despite his best effort, The Warden Commander refuses to allow him to join the Order.

In the wake of the disappearances from both foreign delegations, Marquise de Freyen and Magister Alexius are not well-pleased with each other. A meeting is arranged in the private room of The Hero’s Crown, a highly respectable - and discreet - establishment. However, with a little bit of subterfuge, Sabrina Esposito has a chance to overhear the tail end of the conversation.

What appears to be business as usual takes an odd turn when Oswulf Tranador notices something strange about an incoming shipment of lyrium. Due to time constraints, the shipment ultimately goes through as planned - unfortunately, over the course of the next few days, Mages and Templars begin acting very strangely. Oswulf Tranador then has to recruit assistance from Noëlle d'Orly and Inge Tiras to attempt to clean up the mess, though it may be too late...

• For the plot events that require a limited number of PCs, such as the tourney battles, sign-ups are located below. The mods will dropbox or e-mail you relevant information in advance so you can log out your plot


• For events such as the tainted lyrium that are open to large numbers of characters, there will be a plotting post with more information closer to the date of the event


• Don't forget that for your AC, one of your two submissions needs to happen in the first 14 days of the month


• Remember that temp PCs are meant to be expendable. A certain number of the temp PCs needed for the next month's plot events will die, but if we have a large number, others may leave town and/or may be apped as full PCs after the event if the player wishes. What happens to your temp PC will be determined by the needs of the plot. Once you have completed the mini app, mods will contact you with the NPC journal password and instructions for your temp character’s role in plot. To app a temp PC, please provide the following under the appropriate comment below:
