Floating Lantern Festival

There’s a lot of history with Floating Lantern Festivals, dating back to China during 200 BC.   Many cultures have traditions and histories with the Sky Lanterns from releasing ones worries to celebration of the water goddess and to honor family ancestors.  It usually takes place on the 15th day of Lunar New Year.

And for a Sylum Snippet – one requested way back by Kathie – Nathan and family (that still leaves 8 … how do I always have 8)

Sylum Inspiration: Ysabel Lomelin

Integridad: Hunter

 

Ysabel was the third daughter of a Merchant family.   She was nothing like her sisters, had no interest in being a wife or mother.  She spoke her mind, drank with the boys, and had no problem finding a solution to her problems.

Which was what led her to Nerha Silks looking for Máximo, trying to make a deal with him to marry her, as she wasn’t happy her father promised her hand in marriage to an Don, whose granddaughter was five years younger than Ysabel.   Instead Aguilar offered her the title of widow.

She instantly forced her way into the small family.   It didn’t take her long to learn about Assassins, which she demanded to be trained, and when she learned about Vampires she just gave Máximo a look.  He sighed and Turned her.

Sylum Casting Update!

So we’ve made another casting change!  The character has been hinted at, but won’t show up for a while yet in Sylum.

We had been keeping an eye on the situation, watching and analyzing until we could be sure to either dump the actor or go with it.

Recently – it was decided to not go with the original actor ’cause they just slid over that line and kept on going.

So – today we’re introducing the new Sam Witwicky! 

Check under the link to see who it is! What?  Let me have my dramatic moment!!

Sylum Inspiration: Trevor Hanaway

Ehre/Weisheit: Hunter

Trevor was born into an upper middle class family, and raised just outside San Francisco, California.   Had a good education, played baseball in high school, got a scholarship to attended Berkley.

It was from there he was recruited into IMF.

He was an exceptional agent, his knowledge and language skills made him an expert in Eastern Europe.

No one knows for sure when his relationship with Jane Carter started, but the two were an exceptional team despite being lovers.

It was a mission in Budapest, when everything went south.

As Trevor laid on the cold ground dying he regretted his fuck up was going to put his love in harms way.

When Benji offered him a chance to live, he took it.
