Visitants within the Throne room of El Palazzo Aggrade c. 1837

 

---

 

 

To the great denizens of the Principality of Savoy, the Princely Household deems it befitting to host the first and inaugural masquerade to be held within El Palazzo Aggradé to commemorate the beginning of a new and bountiful era. Guests are encouraged to adorn their finest Ancient Esheveurd- the precursor to Ashford, for those who find their intellect lacking- garbs. Please note that the dress code for this event is heavily stressed, and while those who choose not to conform to such will not be thrown out as a common boor, they will be looked down upon in the eyes of the court of Savoy.

 

TIMETABLE
 

I. Feast of Saint Lucien

 To commence the night of festivities, the Hosts shall begin the evening with a fine selection of hors d'oeuvres and a delectable wine tasting. To follow, a vast array of the finest Savoyard cuisine. An attached menu is shown below,

 

Hors d’Oeuvres

Bruschetta Savoie, toasted crostini topped with fresh tomato, mozzarella, basil, and a drizzle of Champs de Savoie vinaigrette.

 

Entree

Risotto alla Adeline, Arborio rice flavored with shallots, dry white wine, beef stock, and minced white cap mushrooms.

 

Plat Principal

Scallops Savoie, king scallops, seasoned and seared with a variety of aromatics.

 

Dessert

Tiramisu, ladyfingers soaked in a strong espresso, layered between mascarpone cheese, panna montata, and dusted with a thin coating of sweetened cacao.

 

II. The Savoyard Sway

 In the Grand Throneroom at Palazzo Aggrade, a stage is to be erected where a quartet will play the Ancient Hymns of Esheverurd. Along with the dancing portion of the evening, a varied selection of wine, brew, and spirits will be open-tapped, where guests can drink at their leisure.
 

III. The First Lotto of Savoy

For just five mina per entry, guests will be given the chance to win the total sum at random draw. Upon arrival, seek the little Athénaïs to enter the contest.
 

IV. The Haves and Have-Nots

To conclude the night of festivities, our guests will be subject to the scrutiny of our secret judges

placed among the crowd, disguised as your fellow party-goers. Two Guests will be declared winners,

based on their costumes’ charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent.

[Kiiwi 1440]

Selvia de Orsella can be seen rushing throughout the palace as she gets ready for the event!

[Asutto 2452]

Amadea Ashford d'Aryn shoves the missive in front of her brothers face, making sure he sees it. "We must attend. Perhaps you can find a wife there!" @MrChenn

[Lickspittle 695]

Branden Baldwyck frowns, having previously scheduled a meeting with a foreign dignitary.
"I'm afraid I have a meeting scheduled- I send my regards to those who are able to attend. Perhaps Alexandre can find a wife there!"

[Proddy 2415]

His Highness Louis Maximilien quakes and cries at the thought of having to engage in social interaction for an evening, or even potentially having to dance. Regardless of his woes, the boy would have a servant iron his finest suit.

[ydegirl 2357]

The young Guenda Letizia prepared to attend the Masquerade of the century!

[Malaise 1570]

His Excellence Mattis de Brellad, The Princely Coroner fiddled nervously with a sealed letter, sliding it beneath the chamber door that neighbored his own. @Kiiwi

"**** your meeting." An old Savoyard crone would mutter.

[GoodGuyMatt 7113]

Ernst Barclay has no clue where to find Ancient Esheveurd attire, but he knows that money can find everything. Either way he prepares for the masquerade.

[MikoMonster 1396]

Anne Eleanore Pruvia squints at her name upon the invitation whilst wrapping a cloak about her shoulders as she strode from the grounds of Provins. "Who are you and how do you know my name?" She inquires aloud, more to herself than anyone else.

"Her Highness, Athénaïs Olivienne Marie Ashford de Savoie extends her greatest apologies. Seems an oversight led to the sending of your invitation." A short herald would utter. "Consider the accidental invitation rescinded, Miss Pruvia-Provins."

Her Excellency Selvia de Orsella, Lady Steward saw the note slide under her door. She raised a brow, moving to pick it up and read it over. Her cheeks instantly flushing as she let out a girlish laugh as she began to figure out what to wear!

Anne Eleanore blinks as the herald scuttled off, glancing around as paranoia set in! Who could be out there listening to her?

A peasant by the name of Bogdana wished that Anne Eleanore had a grip on reality. Or, at the very least, the commoner hoped the Pruvian could find better things to do with her time, besides passive aggressively talking to herself and being a spinster.
