Old Alina -- Grandmother, what a big heart you have! Your artistic talents are stunning, Michelle. Thank you for making the ritual space 1,000x more amazing, and sitting with me as Helios. You're my sunshine! I also saw your efforts to get caught up and involved after some games away, and I'm gratef...

Jono: For an absolutely enchanting NPC, and delving into the lore of the setting. Mathemagical!

Travis: Our under-da-sea adventure was so immersive, and I loved how terrifying and epic these reveals felt.

Kudos to the whole staff for their efforts and creativity steering us to a wild season finale!

Stelios: For making our 'under da sea' adventure especially immersive. *bubbling noises* I loved the excitement and sense of significance you brought to that scene processing what we found down there. Oh boy. Uuid: I love how committed your character is to making this work with the Navari. In our sc...

Following the Rite of the Opened Doors, Polyphanes sets a table at the heart of the caern, laden with offerings of thanks to the elemental princes for centuries of patience. The table is dressed to honor them with a singing bowl filled with lustral water, a prayer wheel with bells, shards of volcani...

Zolzaya for insightful, thought-provoking lines of questioning always. Jen, nominating Stelios to handle the Despoina/Dionysus problem was HEAVEN. Stelios for accepting the nomination, and being a great host to all of us, and for helping us hear what was being said! Johny, I really love the humor wi...

> Old Alina for very moving conversations about her past, legacy, and destiny -- followed by an amazing showing at the Olympics! (Get it, granny!) Throughout the evening, her clever, clever observations and nimble backpedaling make me wonder if she's secretly a ragabash. > Jabari for being such a ge...

Gabe / Silent Wind :: for lots of underworldly intrigue, and complete dedication to Hades. Fully committed, and very cool how you invited everyone along for the ride. Jessica / Valiant Restraint :: TITS OUT FOR GAIA. Really enjoyed quality lupus time, and really amazing how SPICY Coggy dragged that ...

When Crystal 14 is revealed, seemingly cracked and broken, Polyphanes cocks his head. He turns the shimmering crystal upside down, and then it's unmistakable. The crystal is a map! He waves over his Septmates, quietly marking points on his sailing charts. "Astypalaia, Ionia, Thera, Paros, Crete...

Polyphanes prowls the Umbra, gazing up into the astral seas and recording observations. He may also be found on mountaintops with Elissa of Carthage, making elaborate offerings to celestial and aerial spirits. He also enjoys conversation with the community and spirits at the shrine of the sacred fir...

Polyphanes often communes with spirits and Garou at the sacred fire or at the new monopteros with its glowing, star-speckled rotunda. He may be seen plucking the strings of a lyre and peering heavenwards, or rolling knucklebones for divination.

When the stars are right, Polyphanes visits the shrine and sacred fire to string bells, feathers, beads, and glossy potshards -- weaving them to dance and sing in the wind. (They are also very fun to play with.) He spends much of his time here in lupus form.

Eric - Artazusta For all the thoughtful Persian cultural details in his costume and roleplay. When we were performing Rite of the Sacred Fire, he put on a second mask (the ceremonial costume one) to protect it from breath and spittle. Jen - Zolzaya For a constant stream of insightful Ragabash quest...

Old Alina for Big Crone Energy! Amazing costuming, perfectly brittle voice, and a delight to chat visions with over coffee -- err, invigorating herbal tinctures. At the end of the night, she excused herself from a scene with the signature grandma Fair Escape move, "I'm TIRED. Good NIGHT."...
