The Grand Arbiter

Madame Askew and the Grand Arbiter are Steampunk aficionados of the highest caliber. Experts of the genre Madame Askew and the Grand Arbiter have be co-hosting events throughout the west coast for over 5 years from as far south as San Diego California to as far north as Canada. Madame is a time traveling tea enthusiast obsessed with tea fashion & the proper uses for headgear. While she is often the center of tea inspired escapades and a great advocate of Compliment Duelling Madame loves nothing so much as meeting charming and talented individuals across time throughout the universe and in tea houses wherever she may appear. When Madame is not preoccupied with tea or training interns in the laboratory she operates a small atelier where she creates fanciful and charming bespoke garments for ladies and gentlemen. The Grand Arbiter is the authority on compliments wit and Tea-based Justice. Not only is the Grand Arbiter an a Compliment Duel artiste with few peers but he is also a proponent for extraordinary waistcoats paired with the perfect coiffure. With his penchant for entropy tumult and cunning it can be no surprise that the Grand Arbiter spends some portion of his time away from the tea table creating table games. When he is not walking his widow's walk in far off Cascadia or judging matters of honor he can--normally--be found living a deeply hedonistic lifestyle. The best of friends these two are always seeking communion with cosplayers gamers and anyone else who have compassionate hearts and a weakness for tea.
