[!] A letter is sent back in correspondence, arriving at the Company of Ironmongers, Blacksmiths, and Founder’s Headquarters. To Urthun Drumm, Thank you for alerting me of such. A few Saint’s minutes before I had published the letter, I sent a bird to the Undersecretary of Interior for confirmation that the Honorable Company of Thespians & Revelers held claim over such weapons, should they be used for hunting – since there had been some confusion, seemingly, in the description of my Company’s duties. Since then, I have contacted him once more and it has been established Mr. Galbraith had made a mistake – which I should have double-checked before publishing this missive. In accordance to this discovery, I will be changing the letter to reflect such. Once again, I apologize. IN NOMINE DEI, Viktoriya Pruvia-Albarosa, Livery Master of the Thespians & Revelers, Undersecretariat to the Office of the Mayor

“The Master of the Honorable Company of Thespians & Revelers votes AYE on the State of the City Address Livery Proposition of 1769.”

Viktoriya squeezed her fiance, Philip’s, hand, shaking her head. “Impossible to fix what has already been broken, amour. It is not worth it. I only pray that the Kaedrini come to their wits and realize these imprudent accusations are false, then mayhap they have a sliver of hope for their unfortunate city.”

The Honorable Company of Thespians & Revelers A group of Revelers from a monster-hunting guild in an exhilarating hunt. An assembly of the talented and wise; of the daring and bold. Of the Thespians and Revelers. The Honorable Company of Thespians & Revelers are composed of actors, playwrights, athletes, entertainers, and monster hunters. They provide thrilling adventures, entertaining dramas, and rousing competitive sports to the good people of the Holy Orenian Empire and its peers, to spread delight, even in times of great sorrow and fear. A group of jolly men & women, they are, compiled of any & every race: from the shortest Halfling to the lankiest Human, with one single goal in mind - to delight their peers and bring joy! A Brief History Bleak, were the days in Helena before the Company of Thespians & Revelers came to be. The Honorable Company was nominally formed in 1760 when the Imperial Boxing Association of Vitaly Valic, now run by Livery Master & Chief of Staff Viktoriya Pruvia-Albarosa née Bennett, received an Imperial Charter. This company, being the youngest of its brethren, began to enlighten those of the Holy Orenian Empire with its grand shows produced by the Thespians & Revelers.In 1762, the Company of Thespians and Revelers was declared extant by Imperial writ and the following entities were grandfathered in as constituent corporations: - The Imperial Boxing Association - The Imperial Association of the Performing Arts - Varendoz Adventurer’s Guild - Carrington Gambling House - The Order of the Orrir’Ulrall In 1764, it had been lead by former Imperial Boxing Association CEO Vitaly Valic: but, due to unfortunate circumstances, of his death & sale of the I.B.A. in 1765, the Honorable Company had gone without a leader: until a woman, Viktoriya Bennett, became the new Livery Master and began its revitalization, creating a new era for the Honorable Company, one with prospering guilds and a steady inflow of people to help them along their journey. Guilds This is a list of all currently-active guilds within the Company of Thespians & Revelers. The Imperial Boxing Association Currently led by Viktoriya Pruvia-Albarosa née Bennett, Livery Master of the Thespians & Revelers, the The Imperial Boxing Association is composed of mainly Revelers that organize competitive boxing- a combat sport in which two people, usually wearing protective gloves, throw punches at each other for a select amount of time in a boxing ring. These matches are a great place to meet new people, make mina, and have a good time watching people be pummeled for your entertainment!

If you hope to join the The Order of the Orrir’Ulrall, refer to their post, with information on hierarchy, jobs, and more! Order of the Orrir'Ulrall Hierarchy Livery Master - Incumbent: Viktoriya Pruvia-Albarosa [TreeSmoothie] The Livery Master of the Honorable Company of Thespians & Revelers holds the power to remove whoever they see fit from the Company, along with associations within the Company. They oversee what goes on and are tasked with retaining the order of and taking care of the Company, whether that be arranging meetings or dealing with internal affairs. Confidantes - Incumbent(s): TO BE DETERMINED [TBD] The Confidantes act as Advisors to the current Livery Master, elected by the Master themselves. They are tasked with easing the Livery Master’s duties and can arrange meetings, hold votes, and more, so long as they have explicit permission. Upon the Livery Master’s retirement, removement from duty, or death, an election will take place within the Company to promote one Confidante to Livery Master. To become a Confidante, you must own a company that belongs to the Company of Thespians & Revelers. A Confidante may also challenge the Livery Master for leadership: though, it requires at least ½ of the Associated Owners to agree for a switch in Livery Masters to be agreed upon. Associated Owners - Incumbent(s): Kinsrell Commandore [Slapacookie], Vyasaldris [TheIchorDruid], Peridot Beryl Carrington [Heffron], Armande de Falstaff [cruzazul] Associated Owners are the owners of each respective guild/company that belongs to the Company of Thespians & Revelers. They hold the right to vote for a new Livery Master, either when a pair of Confidantes are trying to ascend the ranks after a Livery Master is demoted/removed, or, when a Confidante is challenging the Master to become the new one. They are tasked with managing their own Companies and must plan at least one event for Helena every 3 Out of Character weeks (or, Saint’s Weeks) that many can attend/watch. Owner’s Apprentice - Incumbent(s): TO BE DETERMINED [TBD] The Owner’s Apprentices are the ‘heirs’ to each company, and will take over when said-owner steps down, dies, et Cetra. These are chosen by the Associated Owners, each for their own guild, and are allowed at most 3, though, only one single Apprentice is preferred to prevent fighting over ownership. When promoted to an Associated Owner, they gain all the rights and duties they do - but, as an Apprentice, they only hold a regular Liverymen’s rights and duties. Liverymen - Liverymen are just above the entry-level rank, being workers for one or more Thespian/Reveler Association. A Liveryman’s pay will be dependent upon their respective guild: some pay more, some pay less. Some may not pay at all, but rather, raise the individual’s status. Livery Novice - A novice to the workings of Livery Companies, usually older children / teenagers hoping to work in the Honorable Company of Thespians & Revelers later in life to elevate their social status, and though seeing an adult is quite unusual, it is not very uncommon. Of Thespians & Revelers You draw near the end of this document - so, I wish to share something with you, the reader, hopefully interested in joining one of these fine guilds. Thespians sincerely enjoy their drama & acting: for they are the Actors and Actresses of the Holy Orenian Empire. By hoping to join a Thespian guild, you likely aim to align yourself with actors, playwrights, bards, and knowledge-based jobs that also entertain. Revelers are the folk that participate in active sports & exhilarating adventure: for they are the Free Spirits and Athletes of the Holy Orenian Empire. By hoping to join a Reveler guild, you likely aim to align yourself with athletes (like boxers), monster hunters, active entertainers, and more active jobs that entertain and encourage action. Be smart when deciding which you wish to join; there is a clear line between both. If you wish to be praised for your intellect, join the Thespians. If you enjoy the adrenaline rush of fighting and adventure, join the Revelers. Thespian & Reveler Uniforms [Uniforms by Roseways] Revelers wear a yellow uniform, symbolizing their lively and bold nature. Thespians wear a green uniform, symbolizing their knowledge and renown. Upon being accepted into the company, you must navigate yourself to the #company-thespians and request the file for the skin, pinging the current Livery Master in the message as well.

Viktoriya Pruvia-Albarosa nee Bennett receives the letter, opening with great care. Reading the missive with a jovial smile, she begins to write a small letter back to the girl, a bouquet of flowers attached, assuming she’d like them due to the young Lorena’s sketches. ”Awh, how cute! . . . A child is better at illustrating than most I’ve seen, she certainly shows promise,” the woman gushed, chuckling the last part to herself.

Viktoriya Pruvia-Albarosa née Bennett nods in approval, a jovial smile stretching across her visage as her gaze scans the missive. Turning to her betrothed, she’d lean in to give him a peck on the cheek, and murmur, ”Philip, mon véritable amour, you’re doing a fantastic job – and you’re hardly a few months into your term. I cannot wait to work with you & the rest of staff to ensure our great city stays great.”

The Imperial Boxing Association Est. 1760 The Imperial Boxing Association is a Reveler company, belonging to the Honorable Company of Thespians and Revelers (est. 1760) that hosts competitive fighting tournaments for the Holy Orenian Empire and its allies. This association opens up many doors for those hoping to become more involved with the Imperial cities, primarily Helena, and, can even allow for one to become a Livery Master in the future! Brief History The Imperial Boxing Association is a relatively new company, being introduced at/around the same time as the Honorable Company of Thespians and Revelers was created. The I.B.A.’s founder and former CEO, Vitaly Valic, had founded the Imperial Boxing Association with hopes to bring the joy of friendly competition to the grand city of Helena - largely succeeding in his endeavor. Valic would soon become the Livery Master of the Company of Thespians & Revelers, founding the honorable association - leading the two with great success. Though, this Gambler’s luck would begin to run dry, and, when he died in 1764, both companies were left without a suitable leadership. That is, until current I.B.A. CEO & Livery Master Viktoriya Pruvia-Albarosa née Bennett had stepped up to the plate, reviving both with plans to expand and continue on Valic’s legacy of bringing joy to the Holy Empire. Here, now, do they stand, performing annual tourneys and games for the populace of the Holy Orenian Empire! Opportunities Those wishing to join the Reveler Company of the Imperial Boxing Association have, but are not limited to, 3 base options: Boxing Umpire What a match would dissolve to, should the Umpire not be present! In matches, someone who watches the match closely to enforce the rules in a round is necessary to avoid cheating & injury to the player(s) present. If you have a general knowledge of Boxing, and are willing to be on the front-line of the play closely watching to make sure the game is fair and square, this job may be for you. Becoming an Umpire also requires for you to commentate on the match and provide feedback to those charting the wins & losses. The Umpire will typically be paid 15-30 Mina per round (with a usual amount of rounds being 13-15), though the CEO / Delegate attending can choose to lower or rise their payment depending on performance. (OOC: This is a mostly non-roleplay job, that requires a good eye to catch any hacking/autoclicking, which is fairly easy to mistake. You will need to make short commentations on the match- i.e. “__ strikes a strong left hook, throwing __ out of the ring! __ wins!”.) Ring Entertainers A group of Ring Entertainers practicing before a tourney. In order to maintain the spectator’s enjoyment, many have employed scantily-clad models to waltz around the ring after a match to display the next round’s number. Other entertainers can be jugglers, sword swallowers, fire breathers, et Cetra, as long as it’s fun to watch! Due to the low effort of the job, the pay isn’t enormous - a usual 5-10 mina per round being common. Though, it’s still a pay, for simply holding up a card and walking around for a minute or two! More lengthy and entertaining performances will be paid more. (OOC: This is a job that requires good roleplay: it doesn’t have to be lengthy, enormous emotes, but, those who simply emote “__ walks out into the ring. Holding a card saying ‘15’ on it” or “__ throws 3 balls into the air, juggling them” then waltz out will not be paid). Match Recorders A Match Recorder charting the tourney. If you enjoy writing, this job may be for you! Typically, a CEO/Delegate will perform this: but, with each match, there will be a winner, and a loser. The winner of the match needs to be charted and moved up the list to face their next opponent, which requires a steady focus and good memory. This job is the best paying- usually at least 400 Mina per Tourney, though tends to be more if the recorder is quick with their edits. (OOC: In terms of roleplay, you do not need to do more than ‘_ observes and records the outcome’. It does not require good roleplay, but it requires you being able to handle a document of sorts to format and handle.) Contact If you’d be interested in joining the Imperial Boxing Association, you wish to sponsor a future Tournament, or, any other matter regarding its leadership, Send a bird to Viktoriya Pruvia-Albarosa née Bennett! (OOC: TreeSmoothie, TreeSmoothie#2018).

Viktoriya reads the leaflet, a smile evident upon her visage. “A beautiful speech – I’m glad I was there to witness such.”

yes.

Ts'ui Fumiko, a Chieftain to the tribe, read over the missive, a toothy smile aparrent upon her visage. "Hou strong together," she murmured, bringing a fist to her chest. "Fumiko will always support her Xiongdi of the Monastery and of the Temple."

”Hrrmm...” a young Viktoriya murmured, reading over the missive with a curious gaze. “Oh! He’s the old prune that screamed at Lucy, Basil, and I,” she huffed, recalling when the elder had taken up a screeching match with herself & the Carrington and Basrid children. ”This serves him right!”

RP Name: Ts’ui Fumiko MC User: TheBelidleJR Race: Hou-zi Country of Origin: Tribe of Hēisè Age: 25 Note: I wouldn’t like to participate in the PVP. Thank you!

Viktoriya Bennett nods in approval, briefly remembering the man who had assaulted herself and two other woman the day prior climbing roofs. “No thug that resides on the rooftops of Helena is innocent! May those who brake this decree be brought to justice,” the child huffed. “Fantastic work. Thank GOD- Or... Rather, thank Mrs. Alpha Carrington!”

A Brute’s Arrogance 24th of Harren’s Folly, 1766 The muzhik brute promptly being killed by Imperial State armymen __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The small, youthful Viktoriya Bennett had decided to take a leisurely stroll before bed, her young mind clouded by troubling thoughts and wonders. First, she’d taken a stop by Novellan Palace, admiring its beauty & architecture- then, the Square, idly browsing shops as she mumbled to herself about her next day’s schedule. There, a woman- Sky Mesnia - pushed her way into the streets, screeching about a man’s failed attempt on her life: and there he stood, dark and looming, across the street from the crowd that had gathered. The man had rancid-smelling, dirtied clothing, along with an odd black mask covering his facial features. He had un-combed, black hair, and stood at a stunning 6’1’’. No name was ever given before his takedown by the guards- thus called ‘John Doe’. Sadly enough, this accusation was pushed aside by those watching, including the small girl Viktoriya. ”Surely,” they all thought, ”That woman is crazy.” An artist’s depiction of the thug Nothing more than 10 Saint’s minutes later, the girl would begin to make her way back towards her family’s estate, feeling dreary and tired. Upon turning the corner to the Basrid Boulevard block, she spotted the woman from earlier that evening and the man at the end of the road, the poor maiden being cornered by the beast. Nervously taking a step back, young Viktoriya tried to retreat to scream for the guards- though her first call went unanswered. Quick to her yelp, the criminal lunged toward her and held the poor child up by her neck against the wall, while the other woman ran. Taking his blade, he thrust it into the girl’s shoulder, having had aimed for her throat- luckily having an utterly terrible sense of direction due to the mask. The woman came back, despite having no guard by her side, attempting, and failing, to save the girl. The brute’s grip on the tot’s throat only getting tighter and deadlier as his life was threatened. Finally, a guard rounded the corner, bearing a mighty Imperial State-issued blade. Recruit Johius Jones, it was, first to the scene. Realizing his error, the thug pleaded to the soldier, ironically stating he was doing no crime! But, the Imperial warrior was no fool- and began to corner him with the other woman’s aid. As the situation worsened for the criminal, it did the same for the small girl, now on the brink of death. With one foot in the grave, the girl would make a feeble attempt to escape his grasp- she’d unsheathed her dagger and attempted to plunge it into his shoulder: astonishingly succeeding. Screaming in agony, he’d thrown her up against the wall and prepared to defend himself against Jones’ strike, blocking his first blow. Now, a crowd had begun to assemble- another Imperial armyman by the name of Sir Henry coming to defend. The thug began to realize he’d be apprehended, sooner or later- so, going back to the girl, he’d plucked her from the ground and used the palace courtier as a hostage to ensure no more harm would come to himself. Of course, she would try to stab him once more, the knife still residing in her trembling hands. This time, his wrist, making him fling her once again, her face hitting the pavement with a terrible thud. With the child out of the way, the soldiers, along with a brave passerby, Ciliren Vethrai, promptly apprehended and executed the criminal, justly so. Afterwards, an onlooker by the name of Jorden Marie- a girl, near the age of young Viktoriya- admitted the man had assaulted her as well, though it is unknown if it is true: or why the thug had not been arrested. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Now, the moral of this story is- per the Imperial State Army’s famous motto: ”You do the crime? You do the time!” (Except, in this thug’s case, the ‘time’ is being executed.) __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Viktoriya Bennett receives her invitation, a gleeful smile spreading itself across her visage. ”Sounds fun! I’ll have to attend!” she hummed, preparing a gown for the event.

Ooh boy, 63 people viewing this forum. GL, forum mods... I salute ‘cha

Viktoriya Bennett frowns, reaching for the parchment with a saddened expression. “Lloyd’s family... Killed my brother?” she quietly murmured, the paper trembling in her hands. ”This... Must be why they moved to Sutica. How wretched,” the small girl wept, her visage wrinkled with rage and sadness.
