EL PUENTE Informational Guide La Corte de Girasol 2nd of Francisco’s Resolve, 100 D.R. [!] A depiction of the debuting Hyspians. EL PUENTE El Puente is a week-long Hyspian festival, in which lifelong connections are bridged and made. Friendships are formed, companions with whom you can enjoy your time alongside, and for some, they find their lifelong partner, their spouse. The Sovereign State of Hyspia is pleased to announce its first El Puente festival as its generation comes of age. The festival will take place from the 21st of Maria’s Peace [Saturday, May 11th] to the next Saints week ending upon the 28th of Maria’s Peace [Saturday, May 18th]. Sign-ups begin today to be slotted for a debut and end in a Saints week. INFORMATIONAL GUIDE This guide shall provide the necessary information to our citizenry and visitors on what to expect in the upcoming El Puente. On the matter of debuts, there are a few things of note to keep in mind for those attending: When planning your clothing, it is best to keep in mind that this is within Hyspia - heavy furs and coats may lead to heat exhaustion, even as food and beverages will be supplied. Those debuting are encouraged to wear familial colors, with a hint of blue somewhere upon their person. Hyspia is known for its vibrant wear and fashions, and for those unaware of it, an informational missive has been attached as an in-depth look into Hyspian fashion. Men and women alike are meant to debut, with participation meant to come from both sides, and those of all status. In an effort to keep this from being a lengthy process, royalty may debut alone, those of higher status debuting first - while those following shall debut with their family. Showcased once before in history, under the Queen-Consort Sofia of Hyspia, an exchange of tokens will take place. Those debuting are requested to bring a token, whether a flower or item of sentimental value - which are then to be given to an individual they believe has most contributed to who they have become today. FURTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION The following will be a guide as to etiquette to adhere to during El Puente. The donning of tiaras is allowed in this for the nobility, should they have an ancestor they inherited it from. Be careful not to be alone with another, as it could lead to rumor and scandal. Chaperones will be around for this very reason. A Quinceañera is a cultural tradition in which when a female comes to be fifteen years of age, a coming-of-age celebration is held. The male version, though more uncommon compared to its counterpart, is the Quinceañero. When wishing to propose courtship, the offering of pearls is what one must do. When filling out your application to sign-up, which the form will be attached below, a Peer is the titled head of the household of your family, for example, this being the Viscountess Denodado or the Baroness Halcourt. The heir is the declared heir of that household. If you are neither, you will simply mark that you are neither and specify whether you are a commoner, nobility or royalty in one of the following questions. Otherwise, as to your application, be sure to include your full name, what nation you reside in and any pertinent information for our El Puente planners. If one wishes to partake in the upcoming El Puente, one may direct their interest towards the form below. Sign-ups will end on the 12th day of Francisco’s Resolve of 101 D..R. (7th of May) and we will be accepting no more entries thereafter, as the debut list will be published once closed. Signed, HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS, Dimitri Otto of Koravia, Soberano-Consort of Hyspia, Duke-Consort of Pacazu, Baron-Consort of Arenisca and Del’mar, Lord of La Dorada, Lord of Niseep, Gereon's Hold, and Ciudad de Plata, Gran Maestre of El Orden de Francisco, Protector of the Hyspian People, Protector of the Farfolk HER HIGHNESS, Renata Alba de Pelear, Infanta de Hyspia, Baronesa de Clemente

HYSPIAN COMING-OF-AGE TRADITIONS Quinceañera and El Puente La Corte de Girasol The 15th of Javier’s Justice, 95 D.R. With the new generation of Hyspia, and our recent rise to a Sovereign state, the question has risen as to the coming-of-age traditions of our culture. As is with each generation, new traditions come to be - but this following missive is written to denote the traditions old and new to allow for a better understanding of the Hyspian people and culture alike. HYSPIAN QUINCEAÑERA [!] An image of a Hyspian woman dancing at her Quinceañera When an individual turns fifteen within Hyspia, they are to undergo coming-of-age traditions. A well-known one is the Quinceañera, which is held upon the coming of age of a child into adulthood within Hyspias culture. Traditionally, when the party is decided upon and held, invitations specify a few things. Such as, the forbidden color. A color will be listed, that only the one coming of age may wear and who they specify - and all else are forbidden from wearing that color. In the Sovereign family, that color forbidden commonly is the color blue. A theme is picked, anywhere from the ‘Hyspian Sun’ to ‘Orange Blossoms’ - but is left up to the one hosting the event. For most, the event will take place over the span of a Saint’s day - while those of royal lineage may have one that lasts up to three Saint’s days, including that of the traditional bull fight a royal must take part in for their coming of age. Each Quinceañera can vary greatly, but one item that stays unchanging throughout them all is the pinata. It is a vibrantly colored, reinforced bag that dangles from high up above - and must be broken with a pinata stick or bat. It is known to cause a tinge of chaos with the difficulty of breaking it down, but once broken, a spray of candy and trinkets come everywhere. It is during the Quinceañera that the individual can be presented with pearls, it could be a pearl necklace, bracelet or otherwise - the meaning of such is to declare one’s love and intentions to court them. A recent tradition to take place is a Quinceañera hosted by the royal family, for those less fortunate to have the means of which to host one of their own. This is covered entirely by the royal household, to provide an avenue for all within Hyspia to take part in the coming-of-age traditions. EL PUENTE FESTIVAL [!] A painting of a Hyspian man and woman enjoying El Puente. El Puente is a festival centred around celebrating the connections that are held between the people of Hyspia. During such a festival, events will take place in order to strengthen the bonds between the people of Hyspia, and encourage new ones to be formed. The Cantuta flower will also be central to El Puente, as the Cantuta symbolises the harmonious coexistence of the diverse cultures within Hyspia. [!] A depiction of the Cantuta Flower. During El Puente, the Sovereignty of Hyspia will host three annual events which will be accompanied by events hosted by Hyspia’s respective noble families. The three events will be a Grand Ball hosted by the Sovereign and Sovereign-Consort, and a Night Market promoting Hyspian goods and services, which will then be followed by a Fireworks Display. En El Nombre De Dios HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS, Dimitri Otto of Koravia, Soberano-Consort of Hyspia, Duke-Consort of Pacazu, Baron-Consort of Arenisca and Del’mar, Lord of Ladorada, Lord of Niseep, Gereon's Hold, and Ciudad de Plata, Gran Maestre of El Orden de Francisco, Protector of the Hyspian People, Protector of the Farfolk HER HIGHNESS, Renata Alba de Pelear, Infanta of Hyspia
