Diamond Isle Cultural Center

Description

 * Fort McKinley Parade Ground and Barracks buildings, Great Diamond Island, Maine. A short ferry ride from Portland, the Chantry is accessible by foot, bicycle or by one of the island community’s rentable golf carts. Cars are prohibited on the island.

Overview



 * The Diamond Cultural Arts Center exists primarily as a meeting ground and networking resources for Magi of the Nine Traditions (and friendly Disparates). Less Hogwarts and more of a community hall, the DCAC is set up as a continuing education center where people (primarily the awakened and hedge mage/sorcerers) can meet to share resources. There is no permanent library (though there are a few book lending programs), laboratory, hierarchy or node (for now).


 * Limited lodging is available in the refurbished barracks buildings. Rooms are available on a per night basis or, with arrangements, at cost-of-maintenance. Non-monetary payment is accepted as Tass or maintenance services.


 * Flyers advertising the Center are entirely mundane, emphasizing a cultural center with a continuing education atmosphere.


 * Resources are available to all that are willing to contribute in kind. If an individual benefits from the teachings of another, they are encouraged to teach in kind. While the Cultural Center is intended as a meeting place for Awakened characters, anyone, technically, is welcome. It is not a place to practice large flashy effects (though there are some warded sanctum spaces that might permit this).


 * In the future further amenities may be available, but considering the current resources for the Awakened in the Portland area and the potential for conflicts with the Technocracy, the focus of the Center is on subtlety and learning by teaching others.
