My Downworlder brethren, brothers and sisters, faeries, warlocks, vampires and werewolves, the time has arrived to renew the Accords, the negotiations of peace we hold with the Nephilim, once more. For years we have coexisted in concord, the feuds of the past have been laid to rest, the centuries of violence have ceased, and the future of our kind is secured.
