  1. The Queen-Dowager, Sofia of Hyspia, took in the personal invitation as is drafted by her niece. She thought of Lucias late mother, Amity, a woman who had been her dearest friend in childhood only to grow apart in their later years. A Lorraine, one made by her own mother many years prior dangled delicately against her throat in which she signed over it.

    And then she marked the date for the wedding!

  2. Hmmm, 3 weeks to a month sounds more reasonable - cause while it is nomad stuff, if you're thinking of the mechanical setup, and the costs, etc, 3-4 weeks is more reasonable on an OOC level

    i dont like the mina rules or the 2 week rule. I think it should be three weeks maxinum ( a month ). 

     

    This looks really cool otherwise, Jav! Though, it seems a bit strange to like, have the same war costs as a nation but I also get where you're coming from there

    It is with the construction of my birth lands once more that I take up my quill and ink once put down for good. Inspiration roars its head and waits for no one. Much like when I was all but a young girl penning a song for our city of Silver, I pen one now, in congratulations for our City of Gold.

    May Hyspia prosper, growing brighter and more passionate than ever.

    The last stone is laid, and vibrant carpets are rolled out over newly done floors.

    The construction of the Beaumont Keep has come to a finish and it is with elation that we invite the people of Petra and allies to an opening event in celebration.

     


    Event Itinerary

    The Consecration of the Chapel

    As is with any newly raised chapel, the day’s festivities will commence with a ceremony intended to consecrate the Chapel of St. Edmond of Lachsi. The guests will gather within, as the Father Callahan leads us through the process.

     

    The Baptism of Newborns

    Following the consecration of the Chapel, the Baronial couple's newborn twins will be baptized and revealed to the public for the first time upon its completion.

     

    A Grand Feast

    With the completion of the consecration and baptism alike, those attending will be brought into the feasting hall of the keep where food and drink alike will be provided for those attending. Well-wishes may be offered for the newly baptized twins during this time.

    A depiction of the Brascan twins, circa 88 ARP.

     

    The Baronial couple of Brasca is pleased to announce the birth of their firstborn and second born alike. The first a screaming, healthy boy by the name of Jan Gaspard af Brasca. The boy was named after two figures in the couple's life that have great meaning. He weighed ten pounds upon his birth, though that is the only extent that he takes after his father - for in all terms of appearance, for he boasts his mothers hair and his eye coloring alike.

     

    The second born, smaller than his brother by a grand total of two pounds, came as a surprise to the Baronial couple. His name, much like his elder twin, held Raevir and Auvergne influences alike and he was dubbed Andrik Pierre af Brasca. His appearance took after his father and mother alike, with pale green eyes and a crowning glory of blonde curls.

     

    Shortly after the birth, the Baroness has sequestered herself to her room, so that she may better get to know her newborns and have some much needed rest. Visits from family and friends alike will be accepted within the next Saints day. The baptism will be held the day after next, within the Chapel of St. Edmond of Lachsin.

  7. The Baroness of Brasca glanced over the published missive with a roll of her eyes. "E here y thought he was honest politician. There jest never honest politician." A breath huffed out, and Viktoria folded the written apology and tucked it away for another day. How boring! The woman wished for a bit more drama to amuse herself with.

    [!] A Sakcharin Catering services booklet made of thick paper and stitched leather lies open to the front page in your hands. Golden trim details the menu and a flourish of text rests upon the top line: The Krovavaya Svad'ba Menu. Underneath, several sections are written in Common with bold, precise strokes of ink.

     

    -=-=- Alcoholic Drinks -=-=-

    De Beurre Sours

    From all appearances, it would seem almost akin to an iced coffee, creamy and caramel in appearance with grated tonka beans over top.

    The drink itself is whisky poured over gomme syrup, lemon juice, egg whites and liquorice bitters over ice. While the drink may seem like it would taste sour entirely, it would have a rich, nutty vanilla flavor with hints of sweet and spice alike when served.

     

    The Aigre Liquor

    This beverage is a deep purple in appearance, citrus vodka, lemon juice and a parfait liquor is combined in a shaker of ice before it is strained into the cocktail glass and garnished with a lemon spiral.

    An alcoholic beverage with a citrus taste.


     

    -=-=-Non-Alcoholic Drinks -=-=-

    Raevir e Auvergne

    This beverage is made with strawberry juice alongside boiled lingonberries, giving it a vibrantly colored appearance.

    Diluted with water, and sweetened with sugar and honey alike, this drink would cater to the ultimate sweet tooth among us.

     

    Bonheur Bliss Tea 

    From all appearances, the liquid is frosty, pale and pink - and creamy as well.

    The tea is made from a mixture of pressed green and black tea, brewed with melted butter, salt, and goat's milk. Nutmeg and peppercorn is stirred in, the sweet in appearance tea having a salty and tart taste alike.

    -=-=- Appetizers -=-=-

    Blini e Creme Fraiche

    This Raevir-Auvergne fusion consists of thin pancakes made with buckwheat flour, warm to the touch with a nutty, toasty flavor to accompany it. Creme fraiche is dolloped over the top, the heavy cream sinking in with a dash of sea salt.

    It is further topped with caviar and garnished with dill, allowing for a tangy appetizer for one to try.

     

    Escargot e Raevir

    This dish consists of snails boiled over a Raevir vodka, herbal butter alongside shallot, garlic and parsley. Tomato sauce with a mixture of red wine is drizzled over it, giving it a crimson appearance.

    Upon the side is toasted bread puff, with a dollop of the same herbal used above upon the side for use.

     

    -=-=- Main Courses -=-=-

    Pissaladière e Salmon

    This Raevir-Auvergne fusion dish consists of charcoal smoked salmon slow-marinated in vodka for many hours, allowing the added flavors to sink into the meal.

    It is served with an Aurvergne-style onion tart topped with olives and anchovies alike, the tart aiding in soaking up the meal that is to be eaten.

     

    Julienne au Vin

    This classic Auvergne dish is one of chicken slowly braised in red wine, the meat melting off of the bone and stripped away to be added to a mushroom julienne base. 

    Sliced mushrooms are baked in a creamy cheese sauce, adding the Raevir twist to the meal being prepared - and making the meal more akin to a soup.

     

    -=-=- Dessert -=-=-

    Tarte Crème Tatin

    This Raevir-Auvergne fusion dessert is one with a rich custard base, with a layer of caramelized sugar - followed by a fruit caramelized via use of butter and sugar. A pie crust is added upon the top, making the upside-down caramelized custard tart.

    A supremely sugary dessert, achingly sweet.

    A depiction of the betrothed, Baron George af Brasca and Lady Viktoria Ivanovich, 87 ADP.

     


    The Baron George and Lady Viktorias courtship had started with a letter, a joint connection between families, and unknowing of one another. That letter had turned to two, and henceforth multiplied, until the duo met unknowingly within the Duchy of Stran. They spoke some in the tavern, and once it was revealed, the Baron George asked the Duke Istvan Ivanovich permission to court his sister.

     

    Three trials were given.

    And thus, three trials were met with fervor.

     

    Host an event to celebrate our cultures. It succeeded immensely.

    Take part in a duel against the Duke himself. They fought tremendously.

    And hardest of all, win the trust of the Lady Viktoria and have her ask for the marriage herself.

    And so it came to fruition.

     

    With these three trials having come to a head, the Baron George af Brasca and the Lady Viktoria Ivanovich invites those of Petra and Aaun alike to their wedding which shall be held within the coming Saints days.

     

    The wedding will take place at the Memory Tree as the sun just begins to wane over the sky - followed by a feast catered by the bride herself.

     

    [Thursday, 5pm EST/9pm GMT]

  10. The young lady was alone at home, staring daydreamily upon the ceiling as slippered feet kicked back and forth. Daydreams of rainbows and unicorns ran rampant, as per usual. A knock at the door though, had her flinging up with excitement and as she accepted the invitation, the Lady Catriona Baruch gasped. "Someone else has me name?!" The nine year old bounced about in her excitement, crimson braids fluttering out behind her as she pushes past the poor courier, door flinging shut behind her as she scrambled to find one of her dearest friends, Fiona. "Fionaaa! Fionaaa! Look, ah got a invite! An' she has me name too!"

    @wardyn

  11. Sofia of Hyspia stood with her family, donned in mourning silks. Prayers were said for her late mother, and following the moment, her brother abdicated. She hoped, finally, he might have fun and not be the stick in the mud she knew growing up. Sofia congratulated her nephew, the now Viceroy Cesar and thought as to how Hyspia may come to be under its new Viceroy.

  12. Sofia of Hyspia is many things. Queen-Dowager of Hanseti-Ruska. Princess of Hyspia. But most of all? She is her mother's daughter. Grief encompassed the woman, clasping at her cross as she came to kneel upon the floor of the church.

    "Oh, Madre.. Te amo.."

    Her breath caught, finding she could find no further words.
