Mission Statement
Welcome to Feast of the Annunciation. This is my baby, my project. I have been wanting to create a Dark Ages V20 server for people to come and enjoy for quite some time, without the means or guts to do so. So now, here it is. I wanted to create a Dark Ages setting unlike any other, with lots of lore, politics, and plenty of opportunity for any type of PC character imagined. I wanted an open world setting with plenty of opportunity whether it be social, or combat, with plenty of dynamics for both. This server will deliver plenty of both with a cherry on top.
Feast of the Annunciation is a game filled with mystery, and political issues. There will be a touch of Angels, and Demons, and even Science Fiction, as well as some strokes of cannon lore.
Player Characters will have plenty of opportunity for growth and evolution, and a chance to shine in any way that they wish. Players will come against PC's and factions, and the supernatural to prove their worthiness and find a place in the heart of Venice. I wanted to create a game that allows PC's to be creative in ways that I have not yet experienced or seen in other servers. I want to allow Neonates to be able to complete puzzles, and overcome problems in their own ways, whether it be with their Social Wits, and Charm, or with Sharp Claws and Swords.
This game is about creativity, and writing, and allowing your mind to escape from the current world we live in today, and expressing ourselves via text and dice.

ST Disclaimer
The Feast of the Annunciation Storyteller team wishes to make clear at the outset to each and every player what kind of game FOTA is, and what they can expect out of their experience here.
For us, World of Darkness is a game universe in the HORROR genre. We have a certain mood and theme for our Chronicle and incoming members are expected to respect that. If you have a low tolerance for graphic content that depicts horrific dark, violent, grotesque themes, then this game is not for you.
While this game is highly political in nature, danger can come to your character at any time and any place. Our depiction of Renaissance Venice is a hard, cruel, mean, nasty, horrific, frightening, tricky, sick and wrong, and UNFORGIVING place.
NPCs are played as written and they will not be watered down for the sake of players who do not like having to deal with adverse effects to their characters or whose players are sensitive and have a low tolerance for graphic content. There is no censorship here.
Players are expected to use their wits, ask questions, protect their characters, and be responsible for them.
This doesn't mean that we don't accommodate casual play styles. If you're here just a couple times a month and want to go into character, that's fine. We are not aiming this disclaimer at casual roleplayers, we are aiming it at the types of players who come into a chat and expect to log in and never have their characters touched. Or worse yet, they expect to have their characters garner rewards without risking anything.
In Feast of the Annunciation, you cannot win what you don't put in, and every community member needs to understand and respect that storylines thrive on literary conflict and that is the basis for our hard-line stance.
