METATOPIA 2012 takes place November 9 - 11, 2012 at the Morristown Hyatt and Conference Center in Morristown, New Jersey.
Traff places his pack down next to the log, adjusts the greatsword attached to his back, and sits. "Slept well indeed friend. The peculiar nature of time and distance in this place allows for a most fabulous of phenomena. I can sleep when ever I'm tired, and provided a certain amount of isolation, Night and Day will accommodated me. As it has been explained to me, this place seems to be governed on a level by a form of social contract between all Avatars, or a collective subconscious. Perhaps it may even be conscious on some levels. In short, when we gather, it is day because most present believe it to be day, and the same principal applies for night, or the color of the sky, or that of grass. Truely a marvelous place, I suspect many layers of order imposed here, though the...fluidity of it all still amazes me."As he rambles his statements are punctuated by constant hand motion. He finally stops talk for a moment to reach into his pack and pull out some dried fruit and water, which he'll offer some of to Azure."Now as it where, this recent Gathering has left me with much to think about. The pieces I've learned of these Progenitor's, Gabriel, the Houses, and the formation of the Nexus. Well it all reminds me a lot of some of the stories from my homerealm. The legends of K'rul, the creation of the Warrens, the Holds and Houses of the Deck, and the Houses of the Azath. All seem similar. I need to learn more of the beginnings of this place, the old Houses and their transformation into the new ones. I'm particularly interested in the later formation of House Delphi, and this character known as Tybalt. And so friend Azure, I am on a journey to find Andromache of House Delphi. I was told that the two who may know most would be her, or Steed of Delphi. I have met both briefly, and feel that, for the time, Andromache might be best suited to help me."He finishes the bit of food left in his hands then wipes them on his pants before standing, "Would you join me Mage?" He grins, "Who knows what we may find."
