The Show Must Go On

britain-governorsball_1
Guests start to arrive just before 8 o’clock.

I managed to get my black tux ready, fit me well since I am still in mourning. Normally my wife would drag me to these events almost against my will.  “We’re heads of state. We must act like it!” She’d say.  In her absence, I find myself strangely drawn to these events, as if she’s calling at me to keep up the work, to stay the course. I have been trying to do just that.  Bianca and Amroth have been helping me to do so; negotiating treaties and expanding our trade agreements. Natasha has been busy detailing our records keeping and ensuring all documentation is properly filed. Its amazing to me how much my family has come together during this time of crisis.

So I guess I’ll go, put on a haphazard smile, and mingle with the newly elected governors of the state. As my darling Pandora would say,  “The show must go on!”.

DATE: Monday Sept. 30th
TIME: 8 PM EST
PLACE: Lord Blackthorn’s Castle in Britain

With the permissions of our Emissaries, we will be holding the first ever Governor’s Inaugural Ball at Lord Blackthorn’s Castle for all the elected governors of the 4th quarter term of 2013.  Join us in this special “Black Tie” celebration at the castle, beginning at 8 PM by the eastern skies.

All our governors are encouraged to participate and prepare a speech, if they so like.  They will be granted the podium for their speech and thank you’s for 10 minutes each.

I realize we have not gotten our meeting with the King (he’s really busy), but we can still celebrate our victories with each other and our constituents and benefactors.

We hope to see you all there and bring your best designer clothes for the “Red Carpet Pictures”.

Sincerely,

Ariana Erikkson, Gov. of Minoc

Full Moon’s Ball, Sept. 19th, 2013 @ 9 PM EST

full_moon_dreamsJoin us on September 19th, 2013 at 9 o’clock in the evening by the eastern skies for our famous Full Moon’s Ball in the city of Umbra at the Necromantic Amphitheatre for a evening of dance, drink, and fun under the skies’ stars. Known as Catskills only official “Black Tie” evening event, we ask you to come dressed in your best.

What will happen?  Will the werewolves be able to keep their control and composure,  or will the power of the moon be too much to be held back?!?  Will the older, genetically advanced Lycans fight the rogue shape shifters wolves and reveal their true natures for all to see?  Or will they remain hidden among the shadows to keep their identities a secret per the Traditions they’ve sworn to uphold? Or perhaps it will just be a pleasant evening for all to enjoy and no one will have to ruin their tux?

You will have to come to find out…

(This is a Role Playing event, so we ask that you come in character.)

Trade Center’s Grand Opening, July 11th, 8 PM EST

Trade Center of UmbraWe are pleased to announce the Grand Opening of the new Trade Center of Umbra on Monday, July 11th, at 8 PM EST.  This market will be the grand center of all trade for our Role Playing community. The premise of this shop is to buy, sell, and trade items for SILVER in a fashion that promotes role playing.  Silver will help to create our own, more realistic, RP currency.  Not many common folk of the day walked around with loads of gold pieces lying about… copper and silver pieces were more frequently used.

The focus of the shop is NOT what items you have to sell, but rather HOW you are selling them.  Some of our featured shops will be creatively selling items that may or may not be of normal economic value, but to a person living in the times of Sosaria would be useful and sought after.  Items would normally be sold for a few pieces of silver.
