Visit our updated website for all the information about the weekend and the added drama at this year’s ball…
We’re ecstatic about this weekend (can you tell?) and we want to make sure that you get to join in on ALL of the fun!
We can’t wait to see you for the Masque weekend!
If you’re curious about the dungeon, but not totally sure about it, don’t worry. This year, you can scope out the Dungeon and then decide to buy a ticket on the day of the Masque.
Our Dungeon Introduction will take place at 6pm on Saturday evening and is open to all ticket holders who have already checked in to the Masque. Same Day Dungeon Tickets are $25 and will give you access to the Dungeon 9pm – midnight. Holders of Presale Dungeon Tickets have access to the Dungeon 8pm – midnight. These Same Day tickets can only be purchased at Masque Check In and only after the end of the Dungeon Introduction.
So if the Kushiel’s Legacy is your first foray into the world of the “sharper pleasures,” check out our Dungeon, meet our DMs (Dungeon Monitors), and then decide if you want this limited access ticket.
If you have questions or concerns ahead of time, please feel free to email dungeon@thelongestnightmasque.com and our crack team of “dungeoneers” will be happy to help you out.
This year we’re adding three discussion workshops Saturday morning! Join experts from our community for one, two, or all three to discuss unique aspects of both the Kushiel’s Legacy books and topics surrounding the world. Workshops will be held Saturday morning between 9:00am and 12:30pm.
Click the links below for content information and to purchase your tickets for individual workshops or packages. Workshops are $15 each, two for $25.50, or sign up for a full morning for $36. (Note: you must purchase a package in order to receive the discounted price.)

Friday evening before the Masque, the Dowaynes and Seconds will be gathering for a casual soiree and, by unanimous consensus, we have decided to invite a “chosen few” to join us. So to begin the weekend’s revelry, joins us for cocktails and spirits with the Night Court leadership.
But this is no ordinary get together. All of our Dowaynes will be roleplaying their characters, so don’t expect to engage in conversation about politics, unless it relates to the Courcel line of succession or trade relations with Alba. Don’t plan to hear of religion, unless it’s about the Yeshuites.
We’ll be roleplaying our characters and invite you to do the same! Are you an adept who managed to snag an invite to this exclusive gathering? A nobleman with strong ties to the Court? Perhaps you’re a visiting dignitary, come to see what this love as thou wilt is all about…
Costumes will be a modern take on Terre d’Ange, but please feel free to wear whatever you choose. Costumes are strongly encouraged, but not required for this relaxing evening in the salon. No masks needed.
Never roleplayed before? Nervous about trying to stay in character? No need to worry! Check out our live action roleplaying primer for guidance and assistance. And just remember that nothing is required of you except that you arrive and enjoy yourself. Libations will be provided, but feel free to bring a special bottle if you like.
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. 
We 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!
