ON THE 4th OF Horen's Calling, 116 B.A.

 

 

Following the success of the Kingdom of Balian’s Fifth Symposia Pragma and the coming of age of new members of the next generation, the Royal Duana of the Kingdom of Balian would like to welcome EVERY NATION of Aevos to the southern coasts of the continent and join us in a FESTIVAL OF NATIONS.

LOREM IPSUM DOLOR SIT AMET. The first month of the Festival will be commemorated with a display of clothing from each participating nation. Taking place in the Kingdom of Balian’s Palatio, each nation will have a designated area for the talented tailors to set up mannequins and show off their works of art. The display will continue for each day of the festival, alongside the other events. In order to participate, tailors will be asked to pay a small sum of TWENTY mina, which will cover both setting up shop and allowing tailors to enter clothing into the auction.

Shortly after the opening of the display, we will present models, wearing various pieces of clothing. This is to showcase the works of tailors from across the Aevos continent.

 

 

LOREM IPSUM DOLOR SIT AMET. During the Propono Societatis, everyone who attends the event will be allowed to vote on their favorite piece of clothing. Voting boxes will be available for each piece on display where you can deposit your vote. Voting slips can be picked up from any member of the Royal Duana at any time during the festival. Only voting slips that are signed by the Royal Duana will be counted in the voting process. Additionally, each fashion piece will be a BLIND VOTE. The winner of the community vote will receive a prize of FIVE-HUNDRED MINA. Tailors may display up to three pieces for the fashion show and up to two pieces for the auction, which will be discussed more shortly.

The Festival of Nations is not just for clothing and culture. Rather, it is a time of gambling, betting, and tourneys.

⥼ A Tournament of Nations ⥽

LOREM IPSUM DOLOR SIT AMET. In the following month, the Kingdom of Balian invites all the Knights of the Canonist Realm, the Squires of the Canonist Realm, and any aspiring warrior of Aevos to join us in a Grand Tourney.  The tourney will open with a jousting competition, followed by an archery contest and end in a melee consisting of teams of TEN. Any person who wishes to participate may sign up with a team via sending a letter to the Palatiodora or a Royal Duana member. For aspiring armourers, this is a fantastic opportunity to showcase your work in action! Prizes will be as follows:
 

• For the Jousting Tournament: TWO-HUNDRED MINA

• For the Archery Contest: ONE-HUNDRED MINA

• For the Melee: The team who comes out victorious will each receive a custom weapon forged by the greatest Balian smiths and bestowed upon them by His Majesty, Alexander II.

 

LOREM IPSUM DOLOR SIT AMET. In order to register for the Grand Tourney, we ask ALL participants to register with their name, nation of allegiance, and what events they will be participating in. They can do this by sending a letter to the Palatiodora or any member of the Royal Duana. [OOC: Fill out the google form]

What is a festival of nations, without the ability to support the artisans of each nation?

⥼ An Auction for the Tailors of the Realm ⥽

LOREM IPSUM DOLOR SIT AMET. The final days of the Festival will be commemorated with an auction. As stated previously, each tailor who pays the twenty mina to participate in the festival will be allowed up to TWO pieces of clothing or sets of armour to be auctioned off. The tailors will keep all profits made from the auction which will be paid directly to them. 

 

 

LOREM IPSUM DOLOR SIT AMET. In order to participate, we ask that all tailors of the realm send a letter to the Palatiodora or any member of the Royal Duana expressing interest in participating. Once you arrive in the Kingdom of Balian, a Royal Duana member will collect the entrance fee, and you will be free to set up.

 

✧────────────⥼☼⥽────────────✧

 

 

LOREM IPSUM DOLOR SIT AMET. The Festival of Nations, or Festum Nationum, will take place in the months of Godfrey’s Triumph, Peter’s Glory, and Sun’s Smile of the year 118 B.A to give tailors and the kingdom enough time to properly prepare for the festival. We again invite every nation of Aevos to come and join us in celebrating our individual identity and culture. We look forward to the first ever FESTIVAL OF NATIONS.
