THE GREYSPINE GALA

To the citizens of Hanseti-Ruska and our allies,

 

The House of Ruthern has stood tall and proud in the Kingdom of Haense for many centuries, providing loyal service and protection to its people. The hammerhead upon our banners has flown protectively over the entrance into our land for generations, as wardens and guards to our King and the heart of his country. It is momentous then that we announce the founding of our march upon the lands of Almaris, which is christened the Greyspine Keep. In honor of the castle’s completion and the appointment to a new title, it is the desire of the Margrave and Margravine Ruthern to host an inaugural celebration, to break in the new ballroom and allow the Carrion Black to flow in jubilant merry-making.

The Lord and Lady’s Address

Following the arrival of our guests, kinsmen, and fellow vassals, the newly-risen Margrave & Margravine of Gresyspine will open the festivities with joint-speeches addressed to those in attendance from within the lord’s audience chamber. They will speak on the legacy of the House Ruthern and the bright future we have ahead, alongside giving a more-formal welcome to the keep and castle grounds.

 

The Feast

After the conclusion of the formal address, guests will be welcome to a grand feast in the keep’s dining hall. The main course will be two elk, braised and then glazed in a cranberry gravy sauce. Accompanying this huntsman’s triumph will be an array of local Haeseni dishes. Of course, Carrion Black among other beverages will be served in the spirit of camaraderie and a time well-spent.

 

The Tournament

Once the food has settled in the stomachs of our ravenous attendees, the Grand Champion of Karosgrad himself, Alric var Ruthern will host a tournament just beyond the walls of the Greyspine, in our newly-timbered sparring pit. Those of able body will be allowed to test their skill and compete for monetary prizes.

 

1st Place - 600 mina

2nd Place - 300 mina

 

The Margravine’s Tour

Whilst those interested take part in the show of arms outside, the Margravine of Greyspine invites any visitors who desire a tour of the keep’s interior to join her for a guided promenade. Though certain chambers will be off-limits to all, the lady of House Ruthern takes great pride in the prospect of showing off her new home to her fellow-Haeseni. She will be accompanied by the newly-appointed Steward of Metterden, Henriette Marna de Rafal.

Antonina Valera vas Ruthern and her stuffed animal akin to a beaver, Warrior Princess Barrynina, prepared a very fluffy dress to wear to the Gala. Then she ran across the castle, reminding her brother to sneak grapes for the two of them before the feast. @LouisGY

Ava squealed a few more times at the dress she was given.  She was ecstatic for the event, being the date for a Barclay. @Diaolos_

Episcopus Otho of Valwyck would shake his head repeatedly at the mention of pride. "We seem to have issues with pride at the Magraviate of Greyspine, I must seek the lady of House Ruthern and place her back on the right path! That is none else than the path of VIRTUE."

"We have issue with pride as in haughtiness, Your Grace. The Margravine refers merely to the dignity of her house and their satisfaction with their new home." Ailred then jumps out the window of Otho's house before he wonders how he got in.
