VA BIRODEO HERZENAV AG EDLERVIK

 

With the transition of our Kingdom finally reaching its end, and our roots firmly planted into the soil of Aevos, the council of Her Majesty is delighted to announce the coming of the sixth Lifstala season. Having suffered so much heartbreak at the hands of the Mori’quessar, from the darkness does bloom a ray of hope and tranquility, and that is precisely the theme for this year's season. Hope, Renewal, and Rebirth.

 

Thus, with this announcement, the season of love, honor, and adventure begins. We wish those participating in their debut of society a swathe of good luck and fortune, and we are eager to witness the unions that come from our historically entertaining event. It must be noted, finally, that while events pertaining to courtship shall be restricted to those participating in the Lifstala itself, those that do not are open to the subjects of the Crown, who are most welcome to attend.

For this year's masquerade, the debutantes and bachelors shall have the opportunity to shed their identities in favor of something new and mysterious, stepping through the evening in the haze of candlelight as they search for their future wives or husbands. They are asked to don themselves in an individual interpretation of their House or culture’s traditions, honoring both the fresh perspective of a generation upon the old customs which guide them.

 

There shall be dances; music, and refreshments provided, while the Grand Lord shall offer tarot readings to those who wish to garner some insight into what the Season may yet hold for them.

Josefina Barclay wonders how a ballet ended up with her name.

Analiesa peers over the ballet, as it was clearly styled after her, her husband, and his brother. She was unsure if she should be flattered by the work of Elia, or insulted.

[DahStalker 2860]

Elia Eryka cannot control the fact there’s a lot of people named Josefina. She weeps

Bogdana Barrow gets really excited to watch Lifstala! She loves it.

Liridona Amador has a panic attack just thinking about her debut…

[TeawithFrisket 2664]

Frisketa Awoke in her new manor in Haense as she looked at the missive given to her A DAY before. She seemed to feel butterflies and a wrench in her stomach as she help her hand there and stood up with almost shaken legs, She was almost having a small panic seeing herself skin the top list of debutantes. It seems she’s not used to this treatment.
