Ladies and gentlemen: the time has come once again! After over a winter’s time of gathering resources, the Higuri Regalia is proud to announce the 3rd “Regalia Largesse”! For those unaware or uninitiated: The Regalia Largesse is an annual event that occurs around the late spring/early summer, and is considered the “pinnacle of Noblesse Oblige”! During this event, individuals from the Higuri Regalia’s hierarchy will make appearances within the various city-states to offer wares to the adventuring public - for free (Tips and donations are always greatly appreciated, but never mandatory)! On Tuesday, June 2nd, at around 7PM EDT, look for a Party Finder ad from any one of the Regalia members; they will provide you information on where they are, and what items will be offered. Due to the ever-increasing quantity of wares, their post duration has been extended to two hours. Also, throughout the week, starting at the commencement of the Largesse, those who are willing to partake in a special contest will receive a number. On the Saturday evening/last day of that week (i.e. the end of the Largesse), a raffle will take place where a series of numbers will be drawn, and those who win will be offered prizes! The prize list includes the following, and are subject to change: 1st Place Winners: A Nightmare Pegasus Whistle/Dodo Horn! 2nd Place Winners: A Eurekan Petrel Whistle/Eldthrus Horn! 3rd Place Winners: An item from the Mog Station worth ≤$25! (x3) 4th Place Winner: An apartment room within the Goblet w/ their choice of flooring, ceiling, and wall decor! Look for these beautiful individuals throughout the week for the item(s) of the day: Dates: June 2nd - June 6th (Tuesday - Saturday) Tuesday, June 2: Treasurer Susuna (Ul'dah, Steps of Thal; The Gold Court) Items: Mounts; Ballroom Etiquette; Modern Aesthetics Wednesday, June 3: Yuanji Yuji (Kugane; Rakusui Gardens) Items: Chocobo Barding Thursday, June 4: Umimi Umi (Limsa Lominsa Upper Decks; The Aftcastle) Items: Rare Minions Friday, June 5: Sesena Sena (Old Gridania; Mih Khetto’s Amphitheatre) Items: Vanity clothing Saturday, June 6: Thiji Higuri (The Goblet, Ward 7, Plot 43; Aldenard Branch Headquarters) Items: Raffle; wares carried over from previous days; weapons made-to-order (GSM/WVR/ALC Specialist) Notes: Sprouts (New Players/Adventurers) will receive parasols and/or Coffers o’ Kupos as a consolation gift. RULES: To enter the raffle, simply ask the representative currently posted during that day; a tracker is kept throughout the course of the event, and is shared amongst the Regalia members. You MUST attend the final day of the Largesse in order to qualify for a chance to win. In the event you are unable to attend the raffle for any reason, you are allowed 1 proxy to vouch for you, so long as they state whom they are replacing. If your number happens to be drawn, you are offered a chance to decline a particular prize if you have eyes on another, but a winner will be decided for the sake of fairness.

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.
