USCC 2008 Venue Style Sheet for Mage: the Awakening "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." – George Santayana I. Overview The Hierarch of Cleveland, OH, known as Mr. Blythe has combined with the Free Councilor known as Scry to issue a call for the Mages of the Awakened Nation. The combination of the Silver Ladder Hierarch and the Free Council Mastigos, while seemingly a contradiction in terms, has produced an invitation to an Awards Ceremony for the Awakened Nation. Those mages who have taken great actions on behalf of the Pentacle will be nominated and receive awards to recognize their wisdom and their efforts. Genre: Mage: the Awakening Lead ST Contact: Jake Tessler, USCC Venue Lead Lead ST Email: Jacob.a.tessler at gmail.com Action – 3 Darkness – 3 Drama – 5 Intrigue – 2 Mystery – 4 II. Setting The setting for USCC 2008 Awakening takes place at and around the Hotel wherein the Awards Ceremony is taking place.
