We are incredibly excited to announce that our August theme is . . .

A Blessing & A Curse

Step through the Gate into a world where spice is as valuable as gold, where trade is made between eight kingdoms using their spice as currency. The burden of carrying the spices from kingdom to kingdom through gates falls upon the marked ones, gatecaste.
