Don't worry, it's not as sinister as it sounds. In the upcoming Harvest Festival, which will be posted this Saturday 19th September, Sylvia will be conducting a blood ritual designed to promote supernatural unity. Because the witches are feeling rather paranoid and under threat at the moment, it is also designed to reveal your true loyalties.

Who can take part?
One character representing each supernatural species (except ghosts) can volunteer to take part in the ritual.

What does it involve?
Simply stepping forward when you are called and having your palm sliced open. The blood will then be thrown into a bonfire. You'll be left with a shallow cut for your troubles, but the witches will heal this for you if you can't heal yourself.

So what's the point?
It's a symbolic gesture. Sylvia will say some nice words about promoting unity and peace (not directed at anyone in particular, but you know who you are) and you can go home knowing you've done your bit to make nice with the witches.

You seem to have missed the bit about revealing your true loyalties.
Ah, yes. This is the bit they won't tell you. The ritual includes a spell which will reveal the true heart of the character whose blood is being offered. Specifically: it will reveal how that character feels about Circle Daybreak, whether a loyal ally or a sworn enemy or something in between. The colour of the flame and smoke produced when the blood is offered will indicate that feeling.

If you'd like to volunteer your character to take part in the ritual, please fill in the form below! Places will be given on a first-come first-serve basis.



The ritual is only one part of the festival, which will be a free-for-all mingle event. So everyone is very welcome to join in the event, whether or not you take part in the ritual!

Why hello again, [community profile] undergrounds!


This is Teresa! I already play one character here, Faolan ([personal profile] reticence) in Hillingdon clan. I now bring you John Childermass, from Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell!

Childermass is a member of Norrell's coven in Circle Daybreak. This is because he is Mr Norrell's servant and had very little choice in the matter. He is pragmatic, sarcastic, and more than a little bit sassy. He's from some of the lowest rungs of society, but he's smart and a natural magical talent -- if he could, he would be someone. He still does aspire to more than he is (Norrell's man), although he has a lot more power in that household than any other servant in any other house ever will. He has to follow Norrell's orders and act out against the people Norrell dislikes and mistrusts. But he doesn't have to like it.

He lives in the same house as Norrell does, as he manages the man's affairs, and is a good 'in' to society with Norrell himself as well. Beware, though. For all that he thinks the little man insufferable, he would not hesitate to kill for him, and/or cross lines that Norrell himself might frown on in order to achieve his goals.

If you would like to have had previous CR with Childermass, let me know and we can definitely work something out together! :) I look forward to playing him against you guys soon!!

Hello!

This is Lancelot's player bringing you Gilbert Norrell, of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell!

He is a Coven Leader in Circle Daybreak, and a tedious little man who dislikes most of everything.

He is also reasonably outspoken about his opinions! So, if you would like to have an existing friendship or feud with Norrell do let me know! His prime dislike is fae, but equally he feels Circle Midnight give English Witches a bad name with all that wild dangerous magic.

He lives in Mayfair (in Westminster) and probably writes a great deal of letters to the Night Council informing them of his desire to help and his many ideas to improve things (largely by banning other things).

It's worth noting: although he is a largely distasteful man Norrell has a lot of influence, a huge library of books and is a reliable friend once you get past his prickly nature. He's just not used to having friends or sharing. Or 'Team Work'.

For everyone involved in this claim, I know it was more part of Heiji's plot than mine and since he's going, Mab had no driving reason for needing another claim right away.  So I'll let it boil down to everyone else involved in the claim. Do you still want it to happen or would you rather let it slide and let the territory stay Daybreak?  (Yes I'm including people opposing the claim in that :) )
