This month’s Best PC has been with us since almost the beginning of the game (check him out in his first ever costume! #Magestrytbt) and has really had some shining moments in his time! This game, however, Artie Cote, really came into his own as Simon Garren and, with his performance throughout the entire game, showed us what he is made of! As you said in your PELs, “Artie has done a really great job making Simon a completely different character from Vincent. This game he did a REALLY great job during his dinner performance, playing it nervous and with the songs. He was also just great in general all game.” We couldn’t agree more and are super pleased to give him Best PC. Thanks, Artie! Congrats!
Our Best NPC for Petalsong, Clara Bertagnolli, is truly remarkable because she came to us out of the blue and, without knowing anyone (or really even having LARPed before!), dove right into game and joined staff, started writing plots, and took on (and rocked!) some great face roles. Clara really astounded and impressed us with her amazing energy, her willingness to do whatever needed to be done, and her thoughtfulness all along the way- even staying late to help clean up! We are SO very glad that she found us and we hope to have her around for a good long time. Thank you so much, Clara!
Irvanshirians,
I write to warn you about a dangerous force that has presented itself in these last few weeks. Devoter Warsson, acting out of passion and zeal and to the glory of his Incarnation, has mustered a sizable army of devoted followers and is leading them on a War-filled rampage throughout Irvanshire. Joining him on several attacks, are strange warriors bedecked in blues and oranges- often mistakenly thought to be soldiers from Lowex. They do not follow the Devoters orders, as the rest of his army does, but fight with stoic intensity and honor, inspiring (and commanding) those around them to fight as well.
Though I firmly believe that the Devoter is acting in accordance with the deepest convictions of his very being, it does nothing to minimize the scope of the tragedy that comes with such a War-like coup. Dying on the battlefield is seen as a great honor to those faithful to War, and so the Devoter leaves hundreds of “Reverent Dead” in his wake. His blood is afire and he ignites the flames of War in those who would listen. I fear that as Hyurog’s power grows and solidifies, we will see this spark of war ignite in many others the world over.
So now, as we find ourselves on the brink of what could be a New Age- The Dawn of Victory, as the prophecy states, I write to warn you that though Devoter Warsson means to pay homage to his Incarnation through honorable and glorified War, his ilk and his followers may not have such honorable intentions, and even those who do may fall victim to the rage of War. Many will incite war for war’s sake, and many others will use this as an opportunity for despicable practices and to satisfy selfish intentions. Be wary and cautious! War is upon us.
However, I would also humbly beg you to remember to keep hope alive. Prophecies are many times not fulfilled and often have several meanings and ways to interpret them, and this one is no exception. Though some, the Devoter included, have taken it upon themselves to fulfill this prophecy and bring 
about the Dawn of Victory, it is by no means set in stone. Have hope and stay aware.
