NERE 2005 Changeling: A Game of Houses
The Queen is dead. All hail the Queen. The Queen of Apples has lain dead these
many months. Apples has been without a monarch, without order, and without hope.
Finally, the Dreaming has answered the pleas of the citizens of Apples. Long
lost to the deepest realms of the Dreaming, Asterlan ap Fiona, Fomori-Slayer has
returned to the Kingdom of Apples and has been ordained the next monarch of the
besieged and war damaged kingdom.
You are cordially invited to the coronation of the new King of Apples and the tourneys held in celebration of his reign.
All hail the King.
NERE 2005 Mortals: Memento Mori
You are invited to attend a gathering of
paranormal scholars, occult savants and myriad students of the supernature at
the estate of Dr. Theodore Farrington, on the island of Nantucket.
I wish to welcome you, as a fellow explorer of the secrets of the unknown, into my home, for esoteric discourse, academic debate, and sharing of stories of the hidden world. Also, I am, for the first time, making open for perusal my extensive collection of occult curiosities and mysterious artifacts.
Ferries to the island have been reserved in both Hyannis and Woods Hole for Thursday, August 25th, 2005. Upon the conclusion of the gathering, on Friday, August 26th, 2005, you will be returned by ferry to either port, according to your wishes. You may, of course, bring your own vehicle across on the ferry, as ample parking is available, or make use of the accommodations provided to chauffeur guests to and from Farrington Manor.
Please hold onto this invitation, and present it at the ferry of your choice. I look forward to meting you.
Sincerely,
Dr. Theodore Farrington
