The time has come once again to celebrate the Little Ladies' Day festival - a time for women of all races to be treated as the princesses they were meant to be! Doubly so for the Higuri Regalia, whose ruling clan has adopted a noble (and, to some, adorable) tradition based on the Tale of the Lost Lady, Edvya Thorne. To those unaware: the Tale of the Lost Lady culminated with Baldric Thorne - Ul’dah’s Sultan of eld - serving as a commoner’s seneschal for a full day’s time due to the mistreatment of said commoner under allegations of kidnapping his beloved daughter, Edvya. From Baldric’s own lips did he state that “no young woman, regardless of her standing, should be denied the respect due all citizens of the sultanate; that all girls, common or noble, are 'ladies' in their own right.” This tale was held in the highest of regards within Thiij’s family. So much, in fact, that they had adopted a new tradition where the males of the family would serve as loyal retainers to their significant others. If they did not possess one, they had full liberty to serve as seneschal to any woman in whom they were interested, regardless of whether or not the receiving party was aware of their aforementioned interest. Hence, after several long winters spent bringing his empire to prosperity, Lord Thiji has made the decision to uphold his family tradition once more - by serving as the seneschal to the ladies of Eorzea during the Little Ladies’ festival. What does this entail for the community, you may ask? To the women of Eorzea and beyond, this means that, on select points in time during Little Ladies’ Day, the Mythrite Suites, located in the 60th plot in Shirogane’s 16th Ward, will be open. Males are encouraged to attend and mingle, but special treatment will be provided for the women through precious items. Lord Thiji will make his post on an ornate stage, where he will address the women as “Princesses,” and inquire as to how he may bring happiness to them in the form of a given item within their stock. These items include, but are not limited to: Minions Corsages Clothing Weapons (Crafted upon request) This event, which will be known as the “Princesses’ Gathering”, shall occur on the 6th and 7th Suns of the 2nd Astral Moon (6 & 7 March, respectively), as well as the 13th and 14th Suns of the 2nd Astral Moon (13 & 14 March, respectively), providing four chances to enjoy the Little Ladies’ Day festivities and the Regalia’s own unique hospitality (Times are: 7PM - 10PM EST). A special surprise is also in store for those who attend - male or female. Lord Thiji looks forward to serving you, and we thank you for choosing the Higuri Regalia, Where There is Power in Beauty.

Usually I’m available from 8 pm est onwards except for when I have class or real-life stuff. I’m most comfortable rping with EST or PST players although I’m usually around until 12-1 pm GMT for any Europeans players interested. I’m not one of those Australians though that stays up super late and attends EU events. What rp are you looking for? Plot based rp, new contacts, ect. Not looking for Erp or romance rp. Please respect this and don’t push the matter. I also won’t rp with mun or muses under the age of eighteen. Sorry. Not looking to join a fc either since I run my own fc. Far Eastern themed rp such as yakuza, shinobi ect rp is more than welcome. I’m happy to have her as a villain as well. Despite Kira being an alt, I’m quite bored with my main at the moment, and I’m hoping to get back into rping Kira for a change of pace. I recently bought her back after a hiatus of 18 months. I’m able to rp in all locations, except those that require flying in Stormblood (because I’m lazy). She’s not really a nice, warm, fuzzy character. If you’re looking for a “nice character” to rp with, she’s probably not your girl.

Hisui Clan Q&A What is the Hisui Clan? ICly the Hisui Clan is a Doman noble family who owns a small island off the coast of the Ruby Sea. They are vassals to Prince Hien and previously to his father, King Kaien before his demise. They are very loyal to Doma, however there’s some debate on the family’s loyalty since they cooperated with the Garleans to protect their own people when Doma was under Garlean rule. However, when the Warrior of Light gave hope to the people of Doma, the Hisui Clan sent in assistance in the form of their best samurai and unfortunately lost many of them in the battle for Doma Castle. What is Caihong? Caihong is the island province that the Hisui Clan owns. Caihong is a very green island with a lot of vegetation and wildlife, and is known for the high quality silk and jade that comes from there. Caihong has three towns - Caihong City, which is the main fishing port, and two small villages inland called Sora and Umi. The one thing that makes Caihong stand out from any other place in Othard is the significant population of lalafells. Who are you looking for? We are pretty much looking for anyone and everyone, as long as you’re good or neutral aligned. Even Ijins! Morally grey is acceptable. The Hisui Clan is recruiting people to staff the Caihong Embassy in Shirogane as well as adventurers, samurai and ninjas for protection, house missions and business. Who are you OOC and how may I join? We are just a group of people who enjoy playing and roleplaying in FFXIV. If you would like to join us, then we’d love to have you. Right now our recruitment process is fairly simple, just send me a message @zhara-liara-yui on tumblr or you can contact me on Discord at Liara/Zhara#1370. I will get to you as soon as possible and invite you into the FC.
