Audience: Teens (Ages 11+)
The five kingdoms are on the brink of war, the realm is in chaos, and Dame Peritchkova’s Academy of Speechcraft and Calligraphy is closed for the foreseeable future as the Dame themself has left for battle – leaving you without a graduation gala! As if that wasn’t enough, the saboteur you’ve been chasing for the past several months has turned out to be Andrea, your best friend’s betrothed, and the evidence is ironclad that they are responsible for the chaos and strife unfolding across the continent. But you suspect all is not as it seems with your friend and there is more at work leading Vanda into peril. Guess you’ll just have to prove your friend’s innocence and save Vanda yourself, won’t you?
Join us in an ongoing D&D campaign with an eye to inclusion and queer liberation.
Registration for this event will close on February 20, 2025 @ 5:30pm.
