ASTERCALIA OF 1882

[capiital 275]

 

 

AN ILLUSTRATION OF A LOVER’S BOUT

DURING THE TOURNEY OF FURNESTOCK

1882

To the loyal subjects of the Orenian Kingdom, though a time of peril scours the streets of Vienne, it is vital to assess the coming-of-age of the most prominent youth of Oren. As a society, we have been delegated with godsends to incorporate into the next era. A gilded epoch lies ahead for Oren, and we must construct our tomorrow by functioning assiduously and concentrating our vitalities on the youthful and the potential. Furthermore, the tradition of the decorous blossoming is earmarked for the Stassion Court’s aristocracy and those alike.

 

 

As issued by the Reforms of Astercalia:

 

To guarantee that participants are adequately prepared for this occurrence, the Astercalia Season will be proclaimed two years in advance to cater to seamstresses expecting to design appropriate attire. All eligible nobility will be automatically inscribed to the index of noble participations (called actors). Noble pedigree between the ages of fifteen and twenty-four will be ordered to participate. Once the directory of individuals is released, those unable to participate must send a direct missive to Her Royal Majesty.

 

Whilst it is seen as a requirement to be of noble birth to debut, exceptions may be made towards those common-born; An Auspice, an official letter of patronage. To obtain such, one must contact an aristocratic household to request such. Each house is entitled to sponsor a total of two commoners whether it be male or female.

 

Sponsorship must be submitted with a signature, direct letter, or exchange between the peer in question directly to Her Royal Majesty. 

 

The Stassion Court extends an official invitation to the following members of the nobility:

Maude Fredericka Novellen, Princess Royal of Oren @Axelu

Richard Helton Helvets, Duke of Cathalon @AndrewTech

Luisa writes a formal complaint as the court women tried to enlist her 7 year old son - Helton - for Astercalia. @Fishy

As Astercalia neared, the guardsmen of Azor escorted the endless collections of jewelry to the garden terrace, as Analiese sat with her nieces as she dressed up Mariana's hair. Giving the girls the chance to gush over the jewels as the Azor women made ready for the upcoming season. A bright smile held to the woman's features despite the grief she'd faced, she quite looked forward to this. "You will have a splendid time, my child. Pressure and the competitive behaviour between the unsuitable, and broke families will not spoil your fun." She advised, as the "Matriarchy of Azor" found joy, and celebrated. @Cepheid

Maxima frowned. simply.

Upon receiving the pamphlet, Henrietta's periwinkle orbs gleamed with excitement as they darted about the page while she read over its contents, "Lady Mathilde!" She called for the Lady Seneschal before she indicated her name on the list of invitees with her index finger, "Rally the seamstresses! Elisa and I shall prevail!” The youthful von Preussens declared confidently.

Maciej Jazloviecki blinks upon seeing his cousin on the list "Who put this dullard on the list..." He shakes his head in disbelief
