The Ancestral Cotillion

[Axelu 4333]

 

Issued by the Duchy of Alba

On the 19th of Sigismund’s End, 2025

 

The Astercalia of the Stassion Castle, Kingdom of Oren, c. 1874

 

 

 

In this new age of unity and promise, following the coronation of His Majesty, Tiberias I of the Kingdom of Burgundy, we find ourselves not only looking ahead to the future with our heads held high, but also looking to our past. As the realm of Aevos stands poised on the edge of renewal, we gather to honor the vast and storied history that brought us here. From emperors and empresses of the Empires of Man, to rebels, scholars, saints, and sovereigns of the past—this Historical Ball is a celebration of all who have shaped the face of our people.

Let us pay tribute to the heroes and heroines of yesteryear, to the trials endured and triumphs earned. Let us remember the rise and fall of empires, the ink of treaties, the clash of swords, and the courage of those who came before us. All are invited across Aevos to don the attire of a historical figure of your choosing. Whether you dress as a favored knight who led his fellow soldiers into battle, a King of yore, or a personal ancestor sacred to your house, there is someone we all read and dreamed about as children and some who we still yet aspire to be.

Elis Looked in her closet.

she almost felt annoyed that she didn’t even know what they considered as appropriate to the theme. Which hero’s, which nation, would it be appropriate to wear something that belongs only as a theme to the royal houses or would it be appropriate to wear something that reflects the kingdoms enemies. 
 

she seemingly is going to wear her houses green, as she considered her father a hero somewhat.
