====== GMs and NPCs ======

> The great and the good of the whole world had descended upon the tiny island, each bent on reaping its uncertain and surely dangerous rewards. Among them were many notable figures, storied even before the events that were to come.
--//Hodrios Katzukenos, Annals of the Reopened Labyrinth//


You can contact the GMs by two methods:
  * Drop us an email at [[gm@labyrinth.oxfordlarp.com]] 
  * Message us on Discord via the server

You can also e-mail specific GMs at the addresses listed below, but be aware that the whole GM team is able to see those.
Emailing is not anonymous, but the MailHeart system is set up such that it is not always immediately obvious who is sending the message, so please do make it clear who you are! 

If you wish to direct IC e-mail to a specific NPC one of us is playing, use the individual e-mail address for the relevant GM and include [FAO //NPC name//] in the subject line, e.g. [FAO Taki]. This all helps us sort our mail and get back to you quicker.

====Georgia (Co-CAMPO)====
[[gm_georgia@labyrinth.oxfordlarp.com]] 

**OC pronouns:** she/her

**Area of interest:** How cool it is when there are cool fantasy ladies and they're cool and dragon-y and cool.

**In charge of:** Everything. In particular, the Southern Empire, Dragonblooded, and the Unspoken Word religion.

**What aristocratic fantasy creature are you, and why?** So, like, okay. There's this really cool concept, not sure if you've heard of it. But, here, see, you uh take a princess. She's very pretty and good with a sword. And you take a dragon, and she's uh pretty cool. Big, majestic, breathes fire. Gorgeous horns. And you put them together and-- and she should be a cool mage, I think. I've really been into pure mages recently. Lots of fire magic, very hot-headed. Or maybe a sort of more pure arcane mage, channelling pure magical energies and learning the secrets of the world. Oh, and she should be ahistorically //nice//, especially to poor people, for a princess. Sort of like a noblesse obligee sort of thing, you know?
