To All Who Cherish the Written Word, 

 

With the continued expansion of the Archduchy and the reconstruction of the Alban Library, Mistress Kaba Halcourt extends a warm invitation to all aspiring authors, poets, and lovers of language to attend a modest Literary Festival hosted in the Archduchy of Alba.

 

This gathering shall be a tranquil celebration of creativity, hosted with tea and refreshments to accompany both conversation and composition. The centerpiece of the event will be a writing workshop and friendly contest, wherein participants may craft a short story, poem, or song. 

 

Upon completion, all entries shall be judged anonymously by popular vote. The favored piece will be published as a standalone book, proudly donated to the library’s new collection, and its author awarded a small prize. Remaining entries will be lovingly compiled into an anthology, likewise donated in honor of the event.

 

Let ink and imagination flourish, your words may find a home upon the shelves of Alba.

 

Signed,

 

 

Spoiler

When: Saturday the 3rd @6pm EST

Where: The Prince’s Institution, Alba

How proud Roswyn was as she read the invite before her, "Surely such will be a most wonderful event!"

[Hom 1988]

Alistair Reinhold, current proprietor of his family's printing company, pauses upon seeing the open invitation while shuffling through his mail. Though he's not usually one for social travel... This was certain to be a business opportunity. He folds the invite and slips it into his notebook as a reminder.
