The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Established: Apr 29 2008, the first New Orleans-themed society.



What it's about!

*In many ways this coven is holding a spot in the Anthropoda Alliance- people may not be posting much here, but they might in House Eternal or other covens within the alliance. Doesn't mean this is a waste of a society... it won't be disbanding.*



Chateau Orleans is not a 'Coven' (as per definition), even though it is listed as one as per the organization and setup of Vampire Rave. We will be leading a New Orleans interest group, simply. Chateau Orleans is a treasure trove of history, magic, horror, religion, deceit, tragedy, and beauty. Step inside to learn more. It's only a coven in the sense that 'coven' is the title of a Sire's society on Vampire Rave. For us, it's a place to virtually bring New Orleans to you! You can expect:





Attractions

Events

History

Music

Culture

The Arts

Local spirituality and Religion



Sit back, watch the build, and enjoy the show!



Membership



We are looking for people who wouldn't mind getting our forum active. But if you are to be one of those people, we look for intelligent people that take pride in what they are typing. We appreciate people who can spell and respect grammar. You DON'T have to live in New Orleans to be in this Coven. You don't even have to know much about it. Just being interested in it is enough :)



We talk about New Orleans, we talk about 'us', we have a good time!



Coven visuals



Thank you Deadphara for our totally rockin' Crest.



Our representation is the alligator. Well, we've got a lot down here. 'Nuff Said. Louisiana has the most alligators of all the Southeastern states, as well as the most in the United States in general.



The Sire's mark is the fleur-de-lis. I used this mark in House Eternal, but now that the House is being run by someone else, the mark has changed- and this can remain as my mark on Vampire Rave. This makes me very happy :) This mark means a lot of things, but most of all, it is the symbol of New Orleans for me.



~~A note from Lagniappe~~



"I have been a New Orleans fan as long as I can remember. I was not born here, but I got here as fast as I could :) I was led here by it's magical, cultural, legendary appeal. I made my own family here, my family braved Hurricane Katrina, and my family supports the constant rebuild and retention of this glorious historical US landmark.



I visited regularly from 1992 until I was lucky enough to get Marine Corps orders to 'The Pentagon South' New Orleans 5 years later :) It became my home. I don't just live here, I promote it, love it, need it, and feed off sharing it with others. I don't feel this way anywhere else, although I can appreciate other places. Something keeps me passionate, and I am totally fine with it.



I have always thought of New Orleans when hearing the word 'vampire'. And although I admittedly enjoy Anne Rice, it has nothing to do with her. Vampires have always had a strong New Orleans foundation. And it's that foundation she used for her books."



***I like creating places where member satisfaction is #1. Blame it on my retail management background, as well as Disneyland being my very first job :P Maybe Chateau Orleans can be your Vampire Rave home :)
