HEAR YE, HEAR YE!

 

 

Well met citizens all round! Gather and find thyself in the event of the century! Come hither and join us whilst we take a trip back to our ancestor’s roots and dive into a festival that wilt bewilder thine sights and senses!

 

In honor of that most important wedding betwixt Philip Aurelian, the eldest son of the Duke of Crestfall, and the blooming daughter of the Count of Pompourelia, one Amadea Ulyssa, we invite you forth. Join us in our festivities around such a highly longed and expected Imperial Wedding hosted by the Majordomo of the Augustine and Lady Merriment of Providence, Anna Henrietta d’Arkent - with assistance from the outstanding Lord Mayor, Alphonse Slyvester.

 

This fair will be a saint’s weekend long and will entail events far and wide. Stretching from the city gates to the bustling and gleaming Augustine palace. Such events include, but are not limited to the following;
 

 

FIRST EVE

 

Imperial Wedding:

The start and center of the event will be the wedding between the fair Amadea and her beloved Philip. The event will begin and kick off the celebration. This being said, two halves of a whole are to wed in front of the eyes of family, friends and most importantly our honorable GOD within the prestigious church of Providence.

 

 

 

 

Opening Speech:

Following the wedding, a speech from the Majordomo of the Augstine will precede the fair directly in front of the entrance of the Augustine. She will give a speech about what the event will entail, as well as allow sign ups day of for certain contests.

 

Dunk the Arch-Chancellor:

Directly after the speech, the Arch-Chancellor- Franz Sarkozy- will climb upon the stage and be able to be dunked for one mina a ball. Dunk him and you may receive a prize! Whether you are an adult and get a bottle of whiskey or a child and get a toy companion - dunk him and you shan’t leave empty handed.

 

Dance of Lanterns:

Whilst people take their aim at His Excellency, nearby a legendary man of the name of Jack o’ Lantern will be handing out paper lanterns, which we will launch into the sky whilst a band of musicians perform music from Anthos within the palace square. Dancing will be encouraged and drinks will be passed out for merry fun and reception.

 

SECOND EVE

 

Catch the Boar:

To kick off the second eve there will be a round of catch the boar! A wild boar will be released into the city and the first to catch and tame the boar will be rewarded a fifty mina prize and a trophy for their excellent feat! Careful though- the wild boar is a nasty thing and the crown is not liable for any damage to your person or your property.

 

Rescue the Princess:

The second contest will be entitled Rescue the Princess! In order to win this one you must work together with a team in a relay race, passing the baton whilst you jog through the Augustine in order to save the fair Princess from her fate of being locked inside her tower. The winning team shall twenty minas each, a paper mache crown to wear as Prince or Princess of Anthos, and free booze for the rest of the event in a complimentary mug!
(Note: Prince(ss) of Anthos is a purely celebratory title, with no commitments legal or binding otherwise.)

 

Sword Tournament:

A fan favorite will occur before the miscellaneous activities - you guessed it! A tournament fought by the blade. Think you are tough enough? Step into the ring and test your strength in a bracket style tournament that will prove who is the strongest around. Hosted by the lovely princess Helen Antonia, the winner will receive one hundred mina and a complimentary ale mug to get free booze for the rest of the event. (Must be sixteen or older to participate)

 

Bumper Boats:

For the start of the miscellaneous events, take a turn in the bumper boats! For two mina a whirl you can challenge your friends in a boat and ice rink. Bump until your heart's content for two saint’s minutes. Not enough? Get back in line and give it another go!

"I hope the Haeseni Tailors can keep up with the demand for the vintage Anthosian look. I imagine their pockets will be fat creating period pieces for the fair. I am looking forward to this wedding and grand event."

‘’The Reckless Ranger is going to turn this into a drunken party with its crisp after taste. There is much money to be made at these festivities.’’ Says Niko

"God shines favorably on you, brother. So blessed is a union with the line of Pompourelia. So I see, bestowed upon you, a great crop of heirs, to be inured for a life of glory," Robert says to his brother as they dine together for breakfast.

Charlotte Augusta would set aside a a pair of dresses for the two-day revelry, keen on meeting the imperial couple she could both call cousin. For the simple fact of being a fellow maiden blessed with golden tresses, she had high hopes for this young woman who would one day be Empress.

"I will dunk the Arch-Chancellor..." Anne Caroline utters under her breath

[Carson 1165]

"Wonder how inbred they'll be now," muttered a wizened Qalasheen in amusement. "Generations of cousin-screwing isn't going to make them look very good. That portrait seems too flattering to be legitimate."

John Charles happily reads the flyer from chambers room in the Augustine. "Well done, Little Anna." He thinks of his nephew and soon to be niece-in-law. "I am so proud of you."

Beryl Jasper Carrington, upon receiving news of the wedding claps his hands together joyously, and cheers for the happy couple "Ai, such fine news!" He'd remark happily "Surely a wedding to be recalled for ages to come, and an Anthosian theme no less! I'll have to do some research to find an outfit dating back to those times.." The Carrington would state fondly as he went to search for a book.

Wilhelm is excited.

Lucille is also excited.

Diana d’Azor would clasp her hands together in excitement for the happy couple; she was indeed ready to see their marriage go well and maybe bring them a small gift later on for congratulations.. She was only a small friend to the family, but she couldn’t be anymore excited anyways.

[Iudaes 1095]

The document falls into ink stained hands, those of Jude II. The Pontiff, receiving them at his small desk in the farms/gardens of the Basilica, scans the document over with tired eyes as his lips turn up into a smile. "They have asked me to administer the Sacrament?" he asked of the Acolyte before him. "Yes, Holy Father." came in reply. "Another wedding. God be praised." the Pontiff said lastly before setting it gently aside on the mahogany surface of the desk, returning to his work soon after.
