10th of Ianuarie, at dawn.

For our second meeting, we'll invite you to reflect upon the way the world changes around us through a tome discussing...
The Great Upheaval,
The greatest change to the Core in recent memory;
Together, we may wonder on how this apocalyptic reshaping of the Core came to be.
Before coming, we invite you to listen to the rumors in the wind about perfidious, strangely hued mists and grotesque, alien creatures,
In places where they shouldn't be, as these are foul portents of change yet to come.

Copies of the book in question will be available for purchase on location.

Any questions or concerns should be forwarded to...
Valentin Florescu of Krezk, junior shopkeep of the host establishment; or Clementine Morisway, lorekeeper of the Hollow Halls.

Keep thy eyes peeled for this ill-humored toad, for in his wake quarrelsome mists do arise.

5th of Februarie, at dawn.

For our third meeting, we'll invite you to be susprised and surprise us, with...
Folk tales from around the Core!
Of all shapes and sizes;
Bring ye your dread stories of that which haunts the Old Nopate. Grace us the crowning achievements of your kin, when all odds were surmounted and victory plucked from the drake-like maw of defeat. Regale with your merry limericks, which brighten the halls of bawdy taverns back home. Let us glut upon the wisdom of our ancestors, together!

Bend the ear and know the troubadour’s call! For he approaches, bearing tales from all corners of the Core fit to stupefy!

The Troubadour wails his lament! His fine hosts vexed without recourse and unable to house the night's gathering; he leaves, crestfallen.

You are hereby invited to an evening of mingling, contemplation, and discussion at the Basement Lounge of Houlgrave's Books and Rarities, the...
15th of Aprilie, at dawn.

Our meetings are now continued, with a new and luxurious lounge of our own behind safe doors, the basement floor of Houlgrave's Books & Rarities! While we mourn the leave of our old shopkeep Valentin Florescu, we proceed. We've been truly saddened by the indefinite postponing of our last topic of concern, so here we invite you once more to...

Folk tales from around the Core!

Of all shapes and sizes;
Bring ye your dread stories of that which haunts the Old Nopate. Grace us the crowning achievements of your kin, when all odds were surmounted and victory plucked from the drake-like maw of defeat. Regale with your merry limericks, which brighten the halls of bawdy taverns back home. Let us glut upon the wisdom of our ancestors, strain our hearts with terrorising, gut-wrenching tales and pride ourselves in the name of our heroes!

The use and misuse of vraja are both banned from our meetings.

Any questions or concerns should be forwarded to...
Carmen Albescu, host and keeper; or Clementine Morisway, lorekeeper of the Hollow Halls.

The Mother whispers to her child. It remembers. Those which have come before it, those which are here, and those which shall come to pass.
