Day 1; The Imperial Ball A grand extravagance to initiate such festivities, the Imperial Palace will flow with aged wine, fine food and elegant music. The ball will start off with a period of presenting gifts to the exalted prince and his bride to be, after such, then the festivities will officially commence. To attend such an occasion dressed in anything less than the finest of fabrics would be seen as an insult to the Imperial Family as a whole, and the garments that impress the bride-to-be the most will be crowned with an award to signify them as the Imperial Patron of Fashion and Courtly Attire.

The most prolific hunter within the party, judged by the crown prince, shall be crowned with an award to signify them as the Imperial Patron of the Hunt. In a brutal display of combat centered in the capital, combatants will gather, compete and fight in the gruelling affairs to claim themselves as the Imperial Patron of Combat.

All will gather within the Cathedral of the Holy Martyrs in order to witness the holy union of the Crown Prince and his bride, officiated by his Holiness, Siegmund I.
