A Springtime Ball

5th of HARREN’S FOLLEY, 1721

 

Come the end of the war, the halls of the RUBRUMMAGNUS hummed with life yet again. Under the fiery command of the Lady Theodosia of Tiber, servants busied themselves with freshening up the place- Flipping cushions, dusting relics, and scrubbing every surface until it sparkled. New decorations were strung up, fresh tablecloths laid out, and crates of flowers carried through the front doors by the dozen, along with fresh foods and baking supplies. She was up to something, constantly flipping through that journal of hers, filled with ideas to last decades.

 

After secretive discussion and approval from her cousin Achilius, Theodosia sent out her ravens, carrying the neatly penned invitations which were sealed with the black wax and sigil of House Tiber. 

 

Letters are delivered to;

The Houses of DRAGONBLOOD, and the Nobility and Citizens of Cascadia 

The House of BARBANOV, and the Nobility and Citizens of Haense
The House of DEVEREUX, and the Nobility and Citizens of Curonia
The House of STAUNTON, and the Nobility and Citizens of Courland
The Prince of VES, and the Nobility and Citizens of Ves
The House of VISAJ and the Nobility and Citizens of Haelun’or
The House of TUNDRAK, and the Nobility and Citizens of Fenn
The House of NASRID, and the Nobility and Citizens of Cresonia
The House of SUFFOLK, and the Nobility and Citizens of Suffonia

 

“Dearest Recipient,

I am pleased to be writing to you this day and pray this invitation finds its way safely into your hands.

With the ending of the war and the coming of a new, peaceful age, I reach out and invite you to celebrate with us for one night, the 7th of GODFREY’S TRIUMPH, 1722, within the RUBRUMMAGNUS. In the company of friends and family, you will be able to enjoy Helena’s finest drinks and delicacies, and dance to the loveliest of arrangements.

Only the smallest addition will be made to this rather routine gathering. Upon entry, each guest will be gifted a flower, in the form of either a corsage, boutonnière, or to be worn in their hair. The shades of lilac all hold symbolic meaning, and when choosing, honesty is paramount. A guest is able to exchange their flower at any point of the event's duration.

 

Lilac - First Love - Those Seeking to Court

 

 

[II] Magenta Lilac - Serious Love - Those Who are Courting

 

[III] White Lilac - Purity - Those Who Wish to be Left Alone

 

 

 

We do hope you are in attendance, to participate in the night’s excitement and entertainment. 

 

 

IN NOMINE DEI

HIS IMPERIAL HIGHNESS, Achilius Cascadia, Duke of Aenus and Crown Prince-Regent of the Holy Orenian Empire

LADY Theodosia of Tiber”

Pierce receives his letter quickly, smiling as he carefully opens it. Upon reading the contents, he’d carefully place it within a drawer, moving to sharpen up a pair of fresh dancing shoes. “Still have a promise to keep.” He’d remark to himself with a smile.

Ser Henrik Ludovar almost at the age of 60 reads the letter.

“Wish I was younger cause we never had these type of things during my day. Hopefully, this continues so it allows the young nobility to find someone to court or whatever.”
