‘LO TO HIS MAJESTY’S BELOVED PEER,

 

THE KING & QUEEN OF OREN request the presence of one’s noble household for a day of conversation within the Claudian Tourney Grounds, joined by fellow members of the highest class. Peers are expected to don the most genteel of heirlooms and familial crests, displaying the opulence of their station and historic prevalence.

 

Thus, His Majesty shall henceforth call the first Adriatic of the Kingdom into session, a day dedicated to discourse concerning the nobility’s preservation and sanctity. The preemptive arrangement of all topics pertaining, including peerage evaluation, the route of the noble bearing, scandal and other related matters is encouraged. If no such topics are available, the day shall service the nobility’s appetite for carousal and allied chatter.

 

Thus, the Adriatic shall henceforth customarily precede or succeed Royal Courts of the Kingdom by a month, although it may also be called upon to address urgent crises. The date shall be decided by conference.

IMPORTANT: DETAILS REGARDING DECORUM

 

HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN anticipates the execution of the following for the first Adriatic:

 

1. On arrival, peers and household members shall stand and intermingle in a bevy before the tent’s opening. They shall then wait to be summoned inside by order of rank. Ranks will be summoned together, with individual houses named by order of title creation.
   1. Whenever a new house is elevated, they shall be announced individually in the same manner. 
   2. This shall be repeated upon the succession of the Kingdom.

 

HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN anticipates the execution of the following for all Adriatics thereafter:

 

1. Peers and household members shall seek to display the heirlooms they possess in their jaunt to be seated and throughout the duration of the Adriatic. ((OOC: Emote the description of the items)).
2. Peers and household members shall be stood together.
3. Peers and household members will commission Adriatic attire, described as befitting the event of a hunt, feast, chase, etc.
   1. Note that due to short notice, this particular expectation will be omitted for the first Adriatic.
4. All communications regarding marriage arrangements are taboo within the Adriatic Tent if committed without a letter in advance to the Queen, who shall moderate all such discussion as the de facto head of the Astercalia Tempore.
5. The attendance of bannermen shall be prohibited, bar one for protection. All bannermen shall stand in wait outside beside the King's Guard.
