	''''Description: ''' The lodgings and performance venue of the pageant's collective of fools, the shanty is a ramshackle structure formed of spare sackcloth, rope, odds and ends and fallen logs. While distinctly unimpressive as seen from without, once inside the ''Shanty'' visitors and pageant-folk who are not fools themselves become lost in a maze of clothbound corridors ending in doors whose dimensions far exceed ''normal'' expectations. But the Shanty is not a maze, so much as a labyrinth which leads the brave ever deeper towards a central chamber called the ''"Tabernacle"''. All along the corridors of the shanty-labyrinth are recesses in which ''scenes'' are played out for the paying visitors and for those who trespass within the private sanctum of the fools. These scenes are ''supposed'' to serve as a series of morality plays meant to remind the visitor-folk of their ethical and spiritual obligations and what ''might'' await them after death should they they fail to keep faith. But, all-too-often, these ''performances'' do the opposite, revealing the ''holes'' in medieval life and presenting the visitor with a distinct emotional or moral dilemma which they must solve if they wish to escape the Shanty by reaching the central ''"Tabernacle of Fools"''. All too often, however, visitors who enter are never seen again and it is assumed by those within their communities that they simply ran away with the pageant.

	Honorina Regin was the Procuress of the Pageant, holding the position of White Queen, leading them down darkened roads of Siberia, using the power of Carna to move the Pageant. Outside of Qatna Honorina fought a group of sorcerers, who began using the power of Carna against her followers, twisting the weft of fate to bring the Pageant the it's festivities to an end. Regina was powerless in the face of this onslaught. Everyone feared the priesthood was lost.

Regina was powerless in the face of this onslaught. Everyone feared the priesthood was lost.

	Praefator Callistus Friduric was a theurge of some power, him being the White Priest. He had followed the teachings of Carna and learned to open the doors to the outer realms. In doing so he found himself encountering the God Apophis, who offered him salvation and power if the White Priesthood would allow ~~him~~ to join them. As the Sorcerers attacked the camp, Callistus made a deal with Apophis for his aid, and the Pageant changed forever. Carna became the gatekeeper to his hellish sieve of souls. Periodically Carna was forced to open the gate between worlds so Apophis could feed more readily that before.		Praefator Callistus Friduric was a theurge of some power, him being the White Priest.

	The Rites of Cara became the Lunar Pageant and House of Carna when Rome rose in the Mediterranean world and then slowly fell to decay. During the reign of Augustus, the holy tree died. this stripped Cara of her ancient power, and Apophis usurped the rites to such an extent that the White priesthood became frightened. They sough to counter the infernal influence with the influence of the Wyrm, fighting fire with fire. The partisans of Cara slipped from power, and the White Priest was usurped in this time by the growing power of the Ring Master, who saw to the day-to-day operations of the circus. With the fall of Rome the it became St.Calenda's Wandering Pageant, Odeum & Lunar Fair.
