Amber Chronicle Kickoff
The kingdom of Kashfa has been controlled by Amber or one of its children, either officially or unofficially, for many years. Its own royal line is largely obscured by intermixings with Amberites and various political coups. The only child remaining with some connection to the royal family is an orphaned infant, and ward of the state, Yuma. Some believe she should inherit the throne. Others feel her claim is too tenuous. Still others have their own reasons to make sure that never happens. While she is far too young to be a participant in Kasfha's political scene at present, her existence is a rallying point for causes both for and against her inheritance.
A few years ago, King Random appointed Nerus Lyn as regent of Kasfha. Nerus Lyn rules still. He was appointed largely for his Rebman heritage, he is distantly related to the royal family of Rebma, in the hopes that this would ease recent tensions with the underwater State. The ploy seems to have worked, with a new trade and non-agression treaty about to be signed.
Kashfa is a close political ally of Amber. With the absence of King Random, Oberon and the elder Amberites the kingdom is becoming increasingly volatile. But some people are drawn to volatile places. One man's disaster is another's opportunity. Now might be the time for some heretofore unseen faces to make themselves known.

Out of Character Game rules
The most important rules will be outlined below, the rest will be explained at the games themselves by either the VC's or the DC.
No Alcohol or Illicit Drugs. Anyone who is intoxicated at the game will be asked by the VC/DC to leave the venue and will not be allowed to play in the game. Obviously prescribed medications are permitted, we will ask that you take these in the Out of Character area though.
No Touching. We have a strict no touching policy in the Camarilla. No one is to touch another person at all with one exception. Permission may be given by individuals at the game, which must be stated aloud and clearly. If you are in doubt it's simple don't touch. Rough Housing or inappropriate touching is never acceptable and will not be tolerated.
If you have any queries about these or any other rules please do not hesitate to contact the VC/DC for further Clarification.
"Afters"
After each game, many of the players get together to talk about the game, catch up, and generally hang out and have fun after being at each other's throats all night. This is a great way to meet new people, tell everyone how good (or bad) your character is, maybe recruit for a table top game you'd like to run and most importantly unwind in a non-threatening or intense setting.
Afters normally occur at a pub or club based on the general consensus of the membership. Obviously the no drinking rule no longer applies as the game/s will have finished. When you're at the game, be sure to ask the Venue Coordinator where the Post-Game Gathering is happening.
