The three proposed hosts, all based in Montreal, were: | |||
* The [[Aerican Empire]] | |||
* The [[Principality of Sancratosia]] | |||
* The [[Newgraviate of Saint-Castin]] | |||
During the initial the announcement at MicroCon 2023, Emperor Eric of the Aerican Empire and Princess Cloe of Sancratosia gave a brief presentation extolling the virtues of Montreal. A few weeks later, at [[MicroCon EU 2023]], Dominic Desaintes-Bellemare from Saint-Castin shared more details about the planning committee's thoughts on the event including the proposed venue and dates. | |||
Unfortunately, in mid-June 2025, just a week before the event was scheduled to commence, the three hosts had a falling out leading the Principality of Sancratosia and the Newgraviate of Saint-Castin to withdraw from the planning committee. The Aerican Empire assumed full hosting duties. Due to these developments, some scheduled events were scaled back or cancelled altogether. | |||
