20 December 2004 - Over a year since the last big update!! Good Lord! Good news - the venue has undergone a lot of changes over the past year, so the siet is due for a large overhaul! Bad news - it will take some time. I'll be focusing on altering the lead-in and the Local Description information first. Keep your eyes open over the next month.

02 January 2003 - Happy New Year and Joyous Tidings!! Lots of updates just sent in for the Nobles' Registry. A few other additions here and there, such as the websites listed on the contacts page. Had fun at a Changeling game in Saint John over the holiday - those guys have a Crafts night every Wednesday! I'm so jealous! Anyhow, our games for the New Year should be starting up again soon.
14 December 2002 - Yule!! Getting ready to celebrate in Real Life with friends and loved ones. Still, time ti add some updates to the Nobles' Registry and to the History of our chronicle. Some contact e-mail links are also updated, having discovered that some are broken. If you do find a broken link, whether to a webpage or an e-mail address, note the page on which you found it and mail me at jack@repairman.com. Lots of time lately readying for CAiNE in March - the big Canadian Camarilla Convention. May I say, the Changeling Venue will be An Event! Huge! Incredible! Be there!
29 November 2002 - That's right, a THIRD page of gallery images!
22 November 2002 - More Nobles, and the Concordia Map page, and the Other Canadian venues page, and the Timeline page, and the Mailing Lists page and... more to the history. *whew!* See you all in two days [on Sunday]!
21 November 2002 - Finished one massive update of the Nobles' Registry!!!!! [pause for air] And more again to be done soon.
20 November 2002 - Begun working on updating the site to include the current "IC" status of the Barony - that is, the fact that it is not a Barony at all! Both Barony and County have been dissolved by the Duchess, and replaced with commoner-run "Free Commots" attended by a Reeve to the Duchess' Court. Yes, this will be extensive. Also some updates to the Nobles' Registry and Dramatis Personae pages will be involved, and of course additions to the History pages... Even additions to the Bes Din patents office.
26 October 2002 - Tomorrow night is the Samhaine game! Yay! Updates today to the site include extensive re-workings of the Bes Din Patent Office, a thorough look at the Steampunk genre on the nocker pages, some additions to the Dramatis Personae page, and the division of the Nobles' Registry into two sections, one for Canadian characters and one for those from away.
16 October 2002 - Slowly edging along with more updates. Still more updates to the Nobles' Registry as ICC approaches. Samhaine is coming, so get set to dust off your masks!
18 August 2002 - Lots of updates over the past months, just not to this page. With the shift from independant NPO to White Wolf, many links and e-mail addresses have changed. I think I caught all of them in the site, but if you find any others let me know. Added much more info on Freeholds, Trods, Raths, and the Near Dreaming versus the Autumn World. Also have exported some of the most pertinent information to the Canadian Camarilla website. It's all in the Members Only section. Added to the history. Need to update the Dramatis Personae. Lots of work for your friendly ANST.
15 April 2002 - added a walk-through of the Special Approvals system. Additional smaller updates, such as the Nobles' Registry etc.
12 March 2002 - Additions to the history section. Yet more additions to the Nobles' Registry (and yet more to come). In particular, Ireland has been sending not only characters for the Registry, but information and web links which will be available soon. More images should join those in the galleries soon as well. The Mailing Lists resource page has been updates, too; taking account of the shift to the @lists.white-wolf.com server.
04 February 2001 - a month of fixing up links and images and small things. Mary Ann Harris wrote today asking us to remove the assorted excerpts from Charles de Lint's writings from the local websites, so we've done so. I will add in the URL to his own website [CdL] to the site index and the table of contents, instead. I'll say it again, go buy his books!
28 December 2001 - added links to a variety of items on the Frailbridges garou site into the Table of Contents. Enjoyed the Christmas Holiday with family and friends. Going to see Lord of the Rings this evening. Cheers!
18 December 2001 - updates to the Baronial Histories, as well as another addition. In the spirit of the Yule season I've added J.R.R. Tolkien's Father Christmas Letters - be warned they're graphics intensive, and take a long time to load. But they're well worth it! Joyeux Noel!
28 November 2001 - added the troll Robert Steele to both the dramatis personae page and to histories of characters in the Other Histories section. And of course, more news and rumours.
13 November 2001 - yet more history as well as an added link for the pooka to the Pooka GSA's site.
09 November 2001 - another Story submission adds to the history of the Barony.
08 November 2001 - Not only have I spruced up the Encyclopaedia Arcadiana, I've also added a link to Kenny Grainger's artwork from the second page of the gallery, and updated the Venue Style Sheet for Vancouver's Nova Albion Chapter. Also fixed the links to two Character Histories from the bottom of the Dramatis Personae page, and also added a third: Neverbloom. Other General maintenance.
02 November 2001 - Updates since last of the Concordia Map page, of the Nobles' Registry, of the News and Rumours page, of the History section; also fixed a few links which were not working (one on the Contents page! How embarassing!).
19 October 2001 - Added a Bes Din Treasures Registry and a Motleys and Unions and Guilds Registry to the site, as well as adding page 15 to the history of the Barony. Added yet more 'words' to the Nocker Dictionary. There is also now the beginnings of an extensive look at the local Near Dreaming. Of course, updated the Rumours board.
16 October 2001 - Lots done, lots done. Updates for the Northern Ice descriptions and to the Concordia map page, as well as extensive updates to the Nobles' Registry.
22 September 2001 - Important Domain news - see this link. Added a Rumour board for the Kingdom of Northern Ice. Check rumours, and send yours to me to have them added to the board as well!!
20 September 2001 - Added already to the Courts page, Seelie and Unseelie, from the WW online excerpt from Changeling: the Dreaming. Cleaned up some of the other pages. General maintenance, added some links - including the ANST's Chimera Creation rules for US and Canada.
18 September 2001 - We now have a history for the events in Fredricton's venue, at the Northern Ice map page. There's a reason that we don't hear from the kithain of Fredricton... Also updated the Site Index, and tied the various Freehold descriptions into the Barony map and descriptions page.
17 September 2001 - Revised and edited the "Gremayre as Lore" rules.
12 September 2001 - In an attempt to give a sense of normalcy in a city inundated with visitors detained here because of the Air Ban, I've fixed up some of the layout in the history section, and added in the second gallery page.
11 September 2001 - By specific request, I've added a page on the two Courts of the fae. Each Kithain belongs to one of the two, and every deed and word springs from the Dance of the Courts. Know your enemy, and know yourself. SUDDEN NEWS - our sympathies and our efforts go out to friends and strangers in the United States.
29 August 2001 - Lots of 'bits' today. The ANST's web space has been added to the contacts page, as have links from there to the Canadian Region's chapters, and the National game's sites (all the ones I know). A new addition to the chimerae page: the ANST's rules for creation of Chimerical Companions. The mailing lists page has had a serious facelift. It should now be much more User Friendly. By this time tomorrow, there will be further additions to the history pages, as well as to the gallery (thanks, Shona).
25 August 2001 - The section on the Northern Ice has also been collated in the contents, so that those three pages have a double listing; now they also appear as appendices at the bottom. The court of Caer Frost appears on the same page as Queen Laurel, the Dukes and Duchies are now on the Concordia Map page, and the various Domains and Chapters have their own page - which includes contact information for the Canadian Changeling STs. More Nobles have been added to the Registry, more information has been added to the history, and more more more...
14 August 2001 - Lots of updates to the Other Histories section on the Northern Ice (OtherHistories), and some work on the Dramatis Personae page. The History section has been added to as well. In addition, a Pleyer's Guide to the Sidhe has been gratiously donated to this site (and several others).
08 August 2001 - Begun the Great Work: I've begun to rebuild the Other Histories page to be a compilation of information on the Changeling venues in Canada, including histories, venue sheets, and contact information. This will prove useful as a StoryTeller resource, and hopefully a player resource as well. It includes a pair of maps - one of the Cam Region, and one of the Kingdom of Northern Ice (all of this is still in progress, but is under weigh). A few minor odds and ends have been cleaned up as well. Check the Table of Contents for details.
31 July 2001 - Yet more additions to the nobles' registry. I'm now (I've been informed) serving the Shining Host as the ARST Shining Host for Canada. Now to really put my nose to the grindstone... The Nobles' Registry is, of course, yet further updated. Also, the tale of Aeron Trueblade, told in his own words, joins that of Adrianna the selkie. And, of course, there are more images in the gallery.
20 July 2001 - Work on the gallery proceeds apace! Soon the whole WORLD will bow! Mwahahaha! Ahem. (Later that same day) The gallery's first page (to date only page) is DONE! Only six months or so of promises. The Shining Host in full Technicolour Glory (Glamour-o-Vision).
04 July 2001 - For a first peek at our upcoming Gallery, check this link.
01 July 2001 - Three Cheers for Canada!! Happy Birthday to the Best Country in the World. Now on to the updates. Added the first IMAGES to the characters on the DRAMATIS PERSONAE page. Go there to see. Eventually we'll have a proper gallery page, once everyone sorts out their photographic contributions...
30 May 2001 - This weekend past saw our first Out Door, On Site game of Shining Host. It went wonderfully, with a huge attendance and much fun had by all! Kudos to all involved (everyone). Also note that many photos were taken, so soon the Gallery will be able to open its doors. Last, note that the Character Sheets and Background Worksheets for the Changeling Venue, made for the New Bedlam Domain [CND-007] (London, ON) can be downloaded by clicking this link.

The zip file contains the two files in PDF format (Adobe Acrobat Files). Character Sheet is up to date for Changeling 5.0 and Prime 5.1 Rule-sets.
08 May 2001 - This weekend will be the second attempt at an outdoor game. In addition, I should finish off that roll of film with "Character Portraits", so those will soon be available on-line. Cheers!
30 April 2001 - We're In The News! The Shining Waters Chapter has made the front page of the Weekend section of the Chronicle Herald Newspaper. We've included the article on-line.
21 March 2001 - Updated our Venue Sheet page to include more of the local rules which have developed over time. Also updated the venue contacts and links page, adding in some other useful bits, and generally performing ACC-type maintenance. See, I do something useful!
15 March 2001 - Finally finished off the Chrysalis and Seemings page. Added a whole pile of stuff. The contents page is still loading too slowly. I think that I'll dump most of the small images.
14 March 2001 - Just added One Tamson House to the links list on the Contacts page. More Charles de Lint encouragement. Read His Books.
13 March 2001 - Streamlining, several additions to the Nobles Registry. Halfdan's Sain-Day this week-end! The whole Barony is Invited!
12 March 2001 - Added a Table of Contents to make perusing the Site a bit easier. Also much added to the Nocker Kith Page. General updates, and continued streamlining.
09 March 2001 - Updates added today to both the Concordia page and to the Nobles Registry. Also, expect a LARGE set of updates and linking for the core pages within the next day or two - much better referencing for the culture and history set of pages, as well as a whole PILE of new "words" in the Glossary. Soon. I promise.
07 March 2001 - Yesterday was a Developer's Chat at the White Wolf site, and the transcript is available to read. The Concordia page and the Nobles Registry have had large updates as well.
05 March 2001 - Go see a play! Dalhousie Theatre Departments Presents: Director Cabaret 2001. This year the Directing class will be presenting us an adapted version of the "Tain Bo Cuilange", a Celtic Irish Legend. It will be Performed on March 8th-9th starting @8pm each evening.. cost is Free! Yes, that's right. Free! Come on out and watch the magic of Live theatre. Added a link for a Gaelic<>English dictionary to the list of useful contact sites. Fixed up a few notables in the Nobles Registry. Also added a whole PILE of stuff to the Nocker kith page.
01 March 2001 - Just added the "official" white wolf Character Sheet for Live Action to the site [you can find it here] - it's a PDF file, so you'll need Adobe Reader, and it also does not include all of the Health Levels added in the Revised system. You'd need to add those in by hand.
