__Stal27 2126 Popular Post Share Posted March 6, 2025 THE CROWNING OF THE PRINCE OF MONTEROSA ✧⥼─────────༺☨༻─────────⥽✧ ISSUED BY THE CROWN OF BALIAN In the year of 152 B.A. SIXTEEN YEARS AGO, THE KINGDOM OF BALIAN was subject to the coming of its Prince of Monterosa, LOTHAR CASIMIR JAMES. Thus, it is on this day, with eighteen saint’s years of passing, that the Princeling who was once a youth is now preparing to celebrate his coming into adulthood. Spending his years surrounded by family, friends and allies, the Prince’s youth was ushered with a familial warmth, preparing him for what the future might hold. AS HE COMES OF AGE, the celebrations held are not simply to usher his life into adulthood but also in honour of the Kingdom many call home, the Kingdom of Balian. The events shall begin with a custom and tradition seen first during the time of the then Princess of Monsterosa, SYBILLE GWENYTH, where she was confirmed through the traditions of investiture of Monterosa as Princess of Monterosa and eventually as the first Queen of Balian. FOLLOWING THE EVENTS OF THE investiture of Monterosa, the events shall unfold into a joust at the Balian fairgrounds. Promising to be exciting and exileric themselves, and in recognition of his favour for a fight, the Prince shall host his first tournament. Competitors will then enter a tournament, upon which the second and third place will be awarded with prizes of Mina, with first place awarded with Mina and a commissioned lance marking the victor as the day’s victor. Spoiler SATURDAY 15TH, 6PM EST ✧⥼─────────────────༺☨༻─────────────────⥽✧ I. THE INVESTITURE OF MONTEROSA The Crown Prince’s instatement. HOSTED BY THE CROWN OF Balian and Diocese of Lotharia, the investiture of Monterosa is a tradition that has appeared in more recent times as opposed to the early part of the founding of Balian. A coronation in itself, the investiture of Monterosa is an event which sees the designated Prince, in this case, LOTHAR CASIMIR JAMES, invested officially with the title of Prince of Monterosa through affirmation of the denizens of Balian, various attestors and both the Crown and Diocese alike. Thus, the coming of age shall begin officially with the INVESTITURE OF MONTEROSA. II. THE JOUST OF ATRUS A celebration of strength. FOLLOWING THE INVESTITURE OF MONTEROSA, the Prince of Monterosa shall be privy to the hosting of his first joust, there are no preemptive sign ups required, rather competitors will be lined up when called and they will announce themselves to the gathered onlookers, preceding this, a tournament will take place, where they will be afforded 3 rounds to tilt against one another before the match shall be decided by fisticuffs. III. THE DAY’S END FEAST An evening of revelry. TO CONCLUDE THE DAY’S EVENTS, The Crown of Balian shall host a feast within the Palatio Arancione to celebrate the conclusion of events of the day, all guests and peoples of Balian following the hosted joust are invited to take part in the feast that promises food, drinks and hearty conversations to be had. During this time, all are welcomed to approach and converse with those around. All attendants to the event shall be delivered with specially grown oranges, a speciality of this generation of Balianese. ✧⥼─────────────────༺☨༻─────────────────⥽✧ IV.

Navigator 4260 Share Posted March 6, 2025 Owyn ponders why the Prince's personal coat of arms has golden suns, but dismisses it with a shrug. "I didn't know we were the same age. . ." - Miguel squeaked in happiness at his personal invitation! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xDisarray 553 Share Posted March 6, 2025 Aurellius Greye would pin this personal invitation just above his desk in his study. "My has time passed... the Prince is growing to become a great man, just like his father, but a man of his own." He would then call his children over to let them know of the Prince personally inviting them all. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Cobra 921 Share Posted March 6, 2025 The invite arrived to Greye Manor and Aurus peered over his father's shoulder to read it. The boy remarked gravely, "He will be the most honorable Prince Aevos has ever seen." Sitting before the hearth in his own home, Mons chuckled and shook his head. "Ah, the Prince is a far cry from the five-year-old who ran off and scared half the Regiment to death... a fine man he has become." 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvestskies 362 Share Posted March 6, 2025 Arowyn beams proudly as she finishes the missive! "Oh, how exciting! I cannot believe that his highness is already coming of age!"

Andustar 4143 Share Posted March 6, 2025 "My son, the day you were born truly was a gift to your Imma and me. This day will be your triumph, and I will watch with pride as you grow into a righteous and honourable man." John II spoke as he observed the preparations, ensuring all was in place for the Prince's investiture. He recalled the infant he had once held in his arms, nearly a grown man in his own right. "It is my earnest hope that you will surpass those who came before, and safeguard the dream that binds our people together." 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaraJess 2848 Share Posted March 6, 2025 Johanna read over the missive with a grand smile upon her face. Was it not just yesterday that the young Princeling was attending his first events? Had he really grown before their very eyes. Such a missive aged her, but she was so very proud to have gotten to watch Balian's next King grow up. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just know he's proud of the lad." Thorin smiled warmly as he made a note to attend upon seeing himself invited.

Cheese 8891 Share Posted March 6, 2025 Esfir frowns when she sees she did not receive a formal invitation…. but then smiles when she realizes she received a personal invitation instead.

Yeetboy0206 1574 Share Posted March 7, 2025 Estevot couldn't help but smile. It seemed like only yesterday his Prince was just a boy who he talked with about the military and the role of a King. Now, he was growing into a fine young man, and worthy successor to the Good King John. Estevot realized he'd have to get a gift soon, and begins making plans. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
