The Longest Night draws near. At Mont Nuit, Cereus House is polishing the cutlery and waxing the floors, preparing to welcome the Night Court to their grand ballroom to host the fete, as is their right and privilege. Dowayne Aliksandria and Second Petrea are working as hard as ever to ensure Cereus will shine! Dowaynes, Seconds, Adepts, novices, in all of the Thirteen Houses of the court of Night Blooming Flowers all are deep in their preparations for the most important event of the year for Servants of Naamah. The invitations have been sent across the City of Elua and the attention of many turns to Mont Nuit.
In the Palace, the young King paces, surrounded on all sides by powerful nobles attempting to influence him. Women from across the continent have come to seek his attentions and earn his hand and the power that comes with being his wife. Players from Aragonia, Caerdicca Unitas, Skaldia – they will all be at the palace fete for this Longest Night and even surrounded by all these people, young Gustav de la Courcel will be alone. At least until some match can be made to appease the factions of the court and the delicate balance of international politics. 
Crowns and crystal and cutlery…all will glitter at the Longest Night.
