Montgomery, Alabama: June 8, 2013



Montgomery, Alabama: June 8, 2013

On the southern charm of Montgomery:

A few weeks ago I had the privilege of visiting the court of Montgomery.  My first impression?  They are exceptionally polite.  The Dignified Prince Mallory Moore is a delightful southern darling.  In another word, sweet.  She greeted each of the visitors personally and welcomed us to enjoy the hospitality of her city.


On the former seneschal and how he came to be such:

The seneschal, former in this case, made a bit of a stir.  He too made sure to greet all of the new faces.  He also asked each of us if we stood as members of the Ivory Tower.  This was despite having been just acknowledged by the Prince.  Needless to say, we were a bit put off by his line of questioning.

One might wonder if this action had any direct correlation to his removal from the position.  Certainly, by the end of the night a new seneschal had been installed.


On those who found themselves elevated:

It was nice to see Harpy Benedict in his natural setting.  He has been most gracious in all the help he has given Atlanta.  Elder Roane did not wish to see this go unmarked and has recognized in him a most Discerning nature.

For their efforts in aiding the court of Montgomery Prince Mallory has named Richard of Avery Stalwart and Elder Roane as Steadfast.  

I can only hope that the bond between these two cities continues to grow.  The strength of the Camarilla would greatly benefit.


On something that is beginning to sound too familiar:

It seems that Montgomery is plagued by the same rogue kindred as Atlanta.  A newly embraced childe was found with no knowledge of his clan or the camarilla—or even what those two words meant.

Sound familiar?

He seemed to be in a much more lucid state then Atlanta’s unfortunate, and had apparently managed to survive several months on his own.  Quite impressive, if you ask me.

Still, it would appear that we have a serial embracer on our hands.  Is that even a real thing? 

Once again, it was the Brujah who stepped in to see to the care and teaching of this wayward childe.  I have a feeling that they will have an easier time with this one.


Final notes:

Montgomery’s resident Setite got into a debate with several Toreador ladies.  There was no contest.  I quite admired how Lady Bianca dismantled him.  His singular wit was no match for her boundless intelligence.

It was sad, really, like watching a pack of lionesses take down a baby gazelle.  

Harpy Benedict has been tasked with composing an ode to Elder Zylka.  It is to be presented at the next gathering, July 13th.

Don’t worry, dear readers, I’ll be there to hear it.
Bisou, bisou,
Desi
