October 29, 1808
Auburn, Maine
St. Augustine Principal Room

"Your sins will go forever punished Henry! The city will soon know your dark secrets... You sought to use this new college as your personal palace, but your wicked ways will not go unforseen!" This was the proclamation of Henry's former co-founder Elias Gordon as he held his pistol at the ready. Henry and Elias were both brothers who had visions of creating a great college in the state of Maine, but Elias realized that Henry had something different than education for the state...

"Elias, you do not know what you are forsaking! We have within this scripture to bend the very laws of our lord to our will! We can be Kings, nay, Gods among the insects who live outside!" Henry cletched the scroll to his breast trying to sway his brother back in his favor.

"Such is not right Henry! I will not join you in becoming an outcast for some superstition! You are to be the principal of this college! Why do you not act like one?!" Elias reminded.

"Then I see that I can do nothing to make you desire power... What foolishness... Very well then, we shall duel here and see who has the will to be ruler of this world!!!" What ensued was a duel that would fall into legend with very few details of what happened that night. All that was known was that Elias killed his brother, but died soon after...

(OOC: This is where everybody introduces their characters somehow)

Kyril came out of his dorm. He had a meeting with the wrestling team to decide if he should be disciplined after the last match, where he had punched his opponent in the face several times. He decided to meet with some of his friends before the meeting.

A group of four young men were walking across the morning campus. One man asked the blonde man leading them, "Hey man, what do you plan on doing tonight?"

The blonde man asnwered, "Oh not a whole lot. I got a party planned though for everybody who wants to skip out on the boring celebration tonight."

One man answered, "Hey, I'd rather hang out at your place than sit through a boring two hour speech any day."

The blonde man chuckled and said, "I hope it also helps that I've got some Brennevin last week."

A clueless man asked, "Bren what? What's that shit?"

The blonde man answered, "That "shit is something we're not supposed to have until another year."

Awestruck, the same man asked, "Woah dude... You mean you actually got..."

The blonde man answered, "Yeah, my folks sent me a few bottles during their vacation. I assured them I'd drink them responsibly..."

One man asked, "You man, know how to use drinks responsibly, this'll be the best sneak out ever! We meet'n in your place?"

The blonde man answered, "Nah, way to small. We're gonna sneak into the Rho Simga Pi frat house, and we'll be out before anybody knows what happened!"

"Man Johannes, you really got the best choices when it comes to finding something better to do. Mind if I bring my girlfriend and a few other guys?"

Johannes answered, "Yeah, but only if you guys don't tell any pricks about it alright?"

"Monarchs oath man!" The four young men punched their fists into a single point and then slammed their shoulders into one another. Such was the attitude of St. Augustine's hockey team and its captain Halvar Johannes.

"Well we better get going. Principal Wyers won't want to miss us for the Anniversary announcements."
