Rumors & Information The Compass Rose is Hydaelyn's most prestigious cruise ship catering to the wealthy elite. Every year they host an invitation-only ball. Last year rumor has it they served roasted peacock and gold crusted sachatorte. Evaleigh De'loncre came to the Triad with an opportunity that could make them millions. Her client was impressed by their last job and has something even better in mind for them. Campaign Milestones The Master Plan Desc: A private meeting was held between Evaleigh De'loncre, leader of the Liar's Triad and her Aces to discuss an upcoming "opportunity". Who knows the details of what was discussed but they were in there for hours. The Clubs will be in charge of the job Smuggled Cargo. The Hearts will be in charge of the job Allies in the East The Diamonds and Spades will jointly be in charge of the Rose Ball staffing and preparations. Information is being withheld by Evaleigh De'loncre on purpose so that if any of the crews fail in their mission the consequences will be isolated and the entirety of the mission will not be compromised. The true backer of the mission is after a specific item, the Tithe provided by the Garlean Engineer. All other items are to be considered potential bounties and compensation, but this one item needs is spoken for. The job will include several double-crosses to further obfuscate those involved. Diversions will be set up to create chaos during the ball but all the madness is orchestrated by the master planner of the heist. The goal is to make the Triad out to be heroes to the guests so any bounties being placed are upon the allies-made-patsies.

[Direct Link] All Aboard the Good Ship Desc: The Compass Rose is a cruise ship that travels between many common ports. Carrying passengers from Eorzea's wealthy elite to meet with their eastern counterparts for the party of the century... the Compass Rose has hired 'staff' to see to their needs. Though... there may be something nefarious about this crew. [Direct Link] The Rose Ball - Part 1 - The Ruby Carpet Desc: A once in a lifetime opportunity ... if you have the right connections. A grand ball to be hosted on board the Compass Rose invites the elite and wealthy of Kugane to attend a luxury day cruise. As part of entry to the cruise a 'tithe' must be paid giving everyone an opportunity to one-up themselves in announcing what item of luxury or rare artifact they brought to show off to the other wealthy elite. Also, poking fun at the annoying Confederate rabble of the Ruby Sea is always amusing. What could go wrong?
