Issued by the County of Anairgrid Atstana de Regne Petrère 161 IT IS CAUSE FOR GREAT CELEBRATION When any young woman or man reaches the age of majority, taking the step out from their childhood and into society at large, placing their mark on the lands of their loyalty. So too is this event celebrated in the house of Reinhold, and so too will it be celebrated for the Taigh’s youngest as her eighteenth year quickly approaches. Lady Norellie Catriona has long spent her childhood intent upon her schooling, learning under tutors of sciences and mathematics, growing adept in her penmanship and abilities of research. The young Lady Norellie will now take these skills into her societal debut, seeking to mingle with the people of the Commonwealth from all Cantons and walks of life as she prepares to enter the world as a working woman. AS A RESULT OF A longtime fascination and love for Petrine mythology, Lady Norellie has chosen to center her debut around the tales of the Cròin-Lagan, or River Serpent, which is fabled to roam along the River Petra and the Blanchette Basin. The celebrations will take place along the bank of the Blanchette, where the riverside will be lit up in luminescent colors. Guests are encouraged, though not required, to dress in shades of blue and green to accompany the theme. ITINERARY ➼ A TEST OF WITS As is traditional for every young Reinhold when they come of age, the festivities will start with a challenge chosen by the young housemember. It is the choice of Norellie Catriona that her trial for the party guests will be a test of intelligence, an exciting match of trivia on topics such as Petrine history, culture, and mythology. ➼ BOAT JOUSTING Following the debutante’s challenge will be a traditional bout of Petrine Boat Jousting, where guests will be provided with canoes and long, hooked sticks in the place of horses and lances. The goal of the boat joust is to flip the canoes of your opponents, sending them into the water, and to be the last one standing. Participation can be solo, or in teams. ➼ GRAND BUFFET After the games are complete, guests will be welcome to pick through a themed buffet of seafood, sugar pearls, and other treats specially chosen by the debutante and her mother. All will be encouraged to mingle throughout the enchanting Blanchette Basin, enjoying nature’s scenery, greeting the debutante, and making connections throughout the Commonwealth.

Elaine had locked herself in the Princess’ shared room for days after her mother’s death, grieving in silence. She hadn’t had the chance to say goodbye, or tell her how much she looked up to the former Queen. Elaine wished to cry a river of tears that would express her deep sorrow, but the tears would not come. She sat for hours, staring at a spot on the wall, only moving when she had to. Her voice rasped with days of disuse, “Long live the Queen. We’ll watch over Lia, Mama..”

Princess Elaine Catrinne of the Petra gasps and clasps a hand over her mouth at the news. “Oh, my! I wonder what will happen to them..”

Lady Adelyn Reinhold marked the date on her calendar, very excited to participate.

Lady Adelyn Reinhold was thrilled that Her Highness thought so highly of her. She would indeed plan to make more appearances within the Province.

Adelyn Isla Reinhold, a victim of one the Lordling’s tantrums, scoffed and tossed the parchment into the fire. “GOD help that child. Someone needs to.”

wonderful post and happy trans day 🩵🩷🤍
