Master Piero’s Discussion Series: Request for Proposals

In Kushiel’s Scion, Imriel travels to the University of Tiberium to study under the eccentric Master Piero di Bondi and his famous pigeons.

Groups will last approximately 60-90 minutes and should be designed for no more than ten (10) to fifteen (15) participants.  Please limit your topics to direct discussions of the Kushiel’s Legacy books.  If your topic is chosen, be prepared to lead an in-depth discussion of your topic and bring any materials your participants may need, such as question handouts or printouts of supplemental information.  Include the names of any Kushiel’s Legacy books that participants need to bring.

To submit your proposal, send an email to info@thelongestnightmasque.com with the subject Discussion Group Topic and attach your proposal to the email.  Do not type your proposal in the body of the email.

Proposals will be accepted no later than 11:59pm, May 1, 2019. Proposals will be reviewed by a committee and those whose topics have been chosen will be informed by May 15, 2019.

Tickets to Master Piero’s Discussion Series will be made available once subjects have been chosen and group leaders confirmed.

Join us for the 2020 Masque!

In honor of the 2019 Vernal Equinox, we officially invite you to join us for the 2020 Longest Night Midwinter Masque on Saturday, January 4, 2020!

We have a little over nine months before the event, but we’re well on our way to planning what could be our best one yet.  2019 portraitWe hope you enjoyed the 2019 Masque and will be joining us again in 2020 for a long night of revelry and merrymaking.

We tried hard to secure space in one of the ballrooms at the Palace in the City of Elua but, alas, our requests were denied.  Something about a visiting Alban delegation…or maybe it was a war with the Skaldi…a shadow government in exile…refinishing the marble floors?  It was tough to get a straight answer on why we couldn’t hold the ball there, just that we couldn’t.

But fear not, fellow D’Angelines!  We will, instead be returning to the Hyatt Regency Fairfax.  While it may not be the Courcel Palace, it is still a fantastic place to hold the Midwinter Masque – and we will be doing it up right.

So mark your calendars, buy your tickets, get your costume ready, secure your travel plans, and get ready to enjoy the 2020 Longest Night Midwinter Masque!
