- The Woodstock Festival unites a generation of Sleepers in the belief that enlightenment can come through music, drugs, tribal values and "good vibrations." The Celestial Chorus, Cult of Ecstasy, and Dreamspeakers consider this festival a watermark in the Ascension War, leading all of humanity that much closer to mass Ascension.[5] Lady Charlotte Quay is among the many who Awakens there.[6]
- Lady Charlotte Quay receives a vision (possibly during her Awakening) of An Giblin Coille the Spring Cottage, a lost Verbena Chantry.[7]
