-===IC Premise=== 
  
-Lilith the Liberator, so-called Fatima of the Eighth Tribe, has made overtures to her aunt Joan the Warrior.  Together they have amassed a Crusade to take revenge against the Z'Bri for Joshua the Ravager's death. Fallen of all Outlooks have started to move into the Duskfall, protected by the Joanite Guild of the Winter Wolf who patrol the mighty forest. There they trained and drilled and practiced alongside the Warrior's Tribe. And finally, with Lilith at the head of the army, a great force of the Fallen and Joanites strode across the Great River and into the H'l Kar to strike against the Z'bri.+====IC Premise====
  
-For whatever reasonyou stayed behind in Duskfall, and await news of the campaign's progress.+Following the [[:the_fates_-_repercussions|violent clashes]] between Boarhead's Confederacy and the Oneida over control of Magog six months agothe village itself is something of an anarchic area - patrolled by the Oneida, but regularly raided by Boarhead's squats, with the Joshuans lashing out at all and sundry, the Leox cowering behind their Fallen allies, and various groups of Keepers both defending and attacking the Fallen.  Some Fallen question why they are still in Magog, but the cold truth is that most have nowhere else to go, and even if they did, there's no hope of moving even the depleted numbers of Fallen anywhere together while the war rages However, there is turmoil in the Tribes about whatever deal may exist or have existed between the Fatimas and the Z'bri, and the world itself is at threat from the rising tide in the Sea of the Lost
  
-===The Site===+We strongly encourage players to think about their character's attitudes towards confession, guilt and decisions.  This is an entirely optional thing but it's particularly relevant to this event, as it is themed around human agency.

 For those that have bought a catering ticket, you will receive 5 meals from Friday dinner to Sunday breakfast.  These meals will be provided free of charge IC to those who have OC paid for them.  The IC caterers, a small Cell of Lightbringers, are known to be above reproach and their food is noteworthy for never having made anyone ill.  What this means is that although the caterers' characters are there and worth interacting with (they may know useful things, or just be fun to talk to!) the food itself is not and will not be a plot point - you won't get IC poisoned from eating food you've paid for OC! For those that have bought a catering ticket, you will receive 5 meals from Friday dinner to Sunday breakfast.  These meals will be provided free of charge IC to those who have OC paid for them.  The IC caterers, a small Cell of Lightbringers, are known to be above reproach and their food is noteworthy for never having made anyone ill.  What this means is that although the caterers' characters are there and worth interacting with (they may know useful things, or just be fun to talk to!) the food itself is not and will not be a plot point - you won't get IC poisoned from eating food you've paid for OC!
