Another season in the Freehold of Sacramento comes and goes, Autumn's chill giving way to Winter's solitude. Certainly, it seems that winter has already arrived, however, the official switch between Courts has been stalled for reasons unknown. It matters not for the festival has once again been set at the Four Seasons, the political headquarters of the Seasonal Freehold and where the throne room hides away within its mighty Hollow.
Entering the Four Seasons on this chilly night, and Mr. Bates waits on hand to lead all Changelings through to the throne room, which is under the auspice of Autumn and the current ruler, Horace Albert Liebowitz. Its decoration is of an old castle with bare brick and high ceilings. Long wooden tables are laid out and laden with food crafted by the hands of Mrs. Rosemary, who stands nearby ready to serve and aid anyone interested in the more....exotic dishes prepared. Sam, the ensorcelled bartender, is also on hand to provide drinks and music plays in the background. Where its coming from is anybody's guest.
Shadows are heavy in the corners and on a raised dias at the far end of the room, King HAL sits upon the throne, straight backed and waiting to begin proceedings, his red eyes observing all.
