Stargate's Yule Celebration

December 11, 2004 (A.S. XXXIX)

The year is 1536. In an amazing act of felicity, Cosimo I di Medici and Filippo Strozzi have set aside their differences in order to welcome you to a celebration at the Villa Torrigiani in the beautiful hills of Tuscany. Can these two former allies lay aside their animosity for even one day of festivities, or will Italy's two greatest foes seek advantage at a gathering of the world's most powerful nobles? Only one way to find out – join us!
