Awakening

"He stands high above New York City, his mind in the past with words
that haunt him, 'with great power comes great responsibility."
Just then as the ground trembles, a young Asian male drops his manga
speaking a few curses in rapid Japanese. He scrambles to his feet
looking at the mountain side as he feel the ground moving beneath his
feet. He blinks and notices nothing wrong in the Fallen World, not
even pebble out of place.

The youth shrugs on his leather trench, a golden Key embossed on the
back and asks, "What is going on here?"

 

Forsaken

In the beginning, there was only one world. One land with no distinction between that of the spirit and the flesh. One land patrolled by Father Wolf, who acted to keep all excesses under control. Father Wolf's death, though, split the worlds in two once again. Many have tried over the centuries to merge them - none have succeeded. Until now. Can Father Wolf's tainted descendents stop the madness before all is lost? When the Wall comes tumbling down, what will you do?

 

Lost

It's taught to us as children, the adage passed on from antiquity, "those who do not learn from the past are bound to repeat it." It's funny, that this phrase has been echoed so much but heeded so little. As the region's freeholds destabilize or conceal themselves in xenophobia, little do the Lost know that they are repeating history. There are only so many stories that can be told, refrains that can be sung, the illusion of an endless world broken by the closing of the book. Which chapter is this? Which story will the region's Lost unfold, and will they be content to sing the same stale notes, or will a new refrain sound to the skies?

 

Requiem

You can only win big if you risk big.

For the past few years, sins of the past have come back to haunt the Covenants.  The Emperor of the Night. Inanna. The Strix.  The Legio Mortuum.  Jared Cade.  The Covenants have been tested, abused, vexed, and sometimes found wanting. Gamble after gamble, the Covenants have hung on.

Ante up.

NERE 2009 Requiem is ICly set at the gorgeous Foxwoods Resort and Casino.  The lacrima will flow.  Cards will be dealt. Dice will roll across felt.  Plans will be set in motion.  Plans will come to a crashing halt. Some will walk out winners and some will walk out losers.

Time to roll the dice...

This is where the cards are turned over.  This is where the answers start to flow. This is where the decisions come into focus. The march to ICC runs through NERE.

Is Lady Luck on your side?
