Jancis Posted May 12, 2015 Share #1 Posted May 12, 2015 [align=center]In Celebration of the Navigator [/align] [align=center]One and all is invited to come give thanks and hear inspirational words in regards to Llymlaen. Llymlaen, watcher of the seas and goddess of navigation, is the guardian deity of Limsa Lominsa. She commands the element of wind and is associated with the fifth moon of the Eorzean calendar. Llymlaen is the daughter of Thaliak and the elder sister of Nophica. She is most often depicted as a strong fisherwoman wielding a long bladed harpoon. Her symbol is the wave.[/align] [align=center]Event starts at the Aftcastle in Upper Limsa (X:11 Y:33) on Saturday May 23rd at 4:00PM Eastern EDT (Time Converter).[/align] [align=center] [/align] Guards will be ceremonial within the city-state and supported by the Yellowjackets. For Pilgrims: During the performance, pilgrims are asked to be silent in the public channels. Emotes with /em, /say, and /yell are asked to be held off until the main performance is over. Animation and sound emotes are welcomed! Please just turn the text off on them during the performance. In lieu of reacting in /em and /say, pilgrims are encouraged to form parties with their friends and groups to react to each other in /p - that should help with the text bloat and keep the reactions more personal and immersed with the main people pilgrims want to interact with. Anyone willing to host a "during performance" party for those who come on their own please contact me so I can find you at the event start and get people together to interact and meet. If a group of friends has room in their party and wouldn't mind hosting a new addition, that would be wonderful too. We'll sort it out at the start of the event. After the performance, everyone is welcome to use /em and /say and can change parties as wanted. [align=center][/align] [align=center] Music and stories from some special guest speakers and bards will highlight the evening. After the presentation, everyone is encouraged to mingle, give prayers and thoughts, or partake in the smaller congregations. Blessings and wisdom will be given to those who wish in attendance. Entire main event is planned to last a hour with hosts staying around afterwards for free-form role play.[/align] [align=center]~While this is a pilgrimage in celebration of one of the Twelve, really would like to express the theme and environment of this event is to come together and have an inspiration evening for each other and on reflection. This night will not have strong overtones of worship and ceremony.~[/align] [align=center]Performing Guests:[/align] [align=center]Ciel Sauveterre Nathan Telluride[/align] [align=center]Sounsyy Mirke[/align] [align=center]Tausenadel Geispyrsyn[/align] [align=center]Vaughn Antain[/align] [align=center]Blessers/Sages: Jancis Guards:[/align] [align=center]Coatleque [/align] Link to comment
Jancis Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share #2 Posted May 12, 2015 Will be touching base with past participants and helpers all this week. Letters and whispers abound! Another peaceful pilgrimage but happy to contact our other guards and keep the line, or if anyone just wants an excuse to have their character there who wouldn't go as a pilgrim. If anyone is interested in assisting pilgrims with blessings, speaking, prayers please let me know. Also brainstorming some sailor blessings and sayings to share with people afterwards. We're in summer! Plus then everyone can head to the Wench for a drink and card games! Link to comment
Mikh'a Posted May 13, 2015 Share #3 Posted May 13, 2015 Yay! As long as I'm in town I will be there. 8D And if you still need guards even though it's in the city then I will smoosh the Dauntless there, but definitely try to be there just for the regular event. 8D Link to comment
Cliodhna Eoghan Posted May 13, 2015 Share #4 Posted May 13, 2015 ohh if you have anything to pass out again; i'll be more than happy to help otherwise i'll just watch and chitchat like normal x3 1 Link to comment
Jancis Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share #6 Posted May 13, 2015 Yay! As long as I'm in town I will be there. 8D And if you still need guards even though it's in the city then I will smoosh the Dauntless there, but definitely try to be there just for the regular event. 8D Hurray! I got a huge amount of whispers about the immersion last time with the guards in their tabards and robes. It is in a city, but if it's what someone needs IC to show up they're more than welcome to come and be part of the event! Most of them are usually quiet stoic types, others complain... but then some also help welcome people over to the group and encourage them to talk to those there or strike up conversation about what happened. I never anticipated how involved guards can be. ohh if you have anything to pass out again; i'll be more than happy to help otherwise i'll just watch and chitchat like normal x3 Do love your chitchat! I've gotten some great help in PMs with brainstorming and still hashing out that we'll have some sayings and blessings to pass out. Not sure yet I'll let you know! (video) !!! With Paul Reubens as the voice of the ship! The 80s called, they want their movie back! :lol: ((Um sadly there will not be any space ships at the pilgrimage celebration)) :chocobo::cactuar::bomb::ahriman: I'll be writing up some IC reasons and word of mouth going around about the pilgrimage as well as contacting people online over the next week. If anyone needs their character 'convinced' to go; please don't hesitate to ask. Link to comment
Star Lin Posted May 13, 2015 Share #7 Posted May 13, 2015 Kestlona should be able to make it to this one since Lisma is her home. She could probably visit her family, (her dad sending her to the Dutiful(sp?) Sister) before heading to the event. 1 Link to comment

Star Lin Posted May 13, 2015 Share #9 Posted May 13, 2015 Wonderful! Get to see her again with that little chocobo! :thumbsup: John will 'also' be there though he won't approach Janis until after the event is over. He also probably going to apologizes for not coming to tell her how wonderful the Celebration of the Scholar was still under the influence of the stomach bug that he had been suffering with at the time the event took place.

Telluride Posted May 14, 2015 Share #10 Posted May 14, 2015 We're in summer! Plus then everyone can head to the Wench for a drink and card games! Card games... you tempt me, Jancis. You tempt me. I'm already in for ya, though. This would be the Encore to the show. 8-) 1 Link to comment

Aww! It's difficult to work on two characters. If Kestlona gets involved and talking with people there, surely Jancis will have a chance to see him in the future. Mayhaps at the Grindstone again! We're in summer! Plus then everyone can head to the Wench for a drink and card games! Card games... you tempt me, Jancis. You tempt me. I'm already in for ya, though. This would be the Encore to the show. 8-) I. oh my Well, when in Limsa, do as the... .. I mean what happens in Limsa, stays in Limsa. Wait not, maybe... Don't Mess wtih Limsa So Very Limsa Limsa Rocks! Something like that! Link to comment

Jancis Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share #13 Posted May 15, 2015 I've gotten some wonderful PMs with ideas! I'm always blown away by what people think up. :blush: Thank you very much. This weekend I'll be touching base with all of our speakers, spreading the word online, and writing up some IC reasons to come by! This is Limsa's Matron so surely the city will be hyped!

Jancis Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share #14 Posted May 18, 2015 Notes are sent out and I got to touch base with a few people over the weekend! Really exciting to get whispers with ideas and thoughts. Wanted to touch base on the idea of having pilgrims write on papers again. For Menphina instead of having individual blessers because there were so many performers that everyone wrote their own individual prayer or message about a loved one. For this event thinking about people writing something quick for the Navigator's priests about a goal in their life they want to reach, maybe they don't know how they will (or if they will) and it's something they're having either trouble navigating the way to or are determined to reach it. If anyone wants to play the part of a blesser please let me know it's a great way to interact with people after the celebration. I've reached out (and by reach out I mean just sent a PM in a shy manner) to a couple FCs who have been wonderful with providing guards for the event. It's a purely ceremonial job so if anyone else would like to volunteer they're welcome to. It's a way to get a grumpy character to an event the player would like to see. Link to comment
Star Lin Posted May 19, 2015 Share #15 Posted May 19, 2015 I'm still hoping that I get this Saturday off. Still waiting for the next week schedule to be posted. Cross your fingers everyone and say a little pray to the Twelve, just in case. Link to comment

Cross your fingers everyone and say a little pray to the Twelve, just in case. Boo short notice schedule! Excited to be in Limsa again for more RP. Been seeing lots of folks in the Wench lately and it'll be fun to hit that up afterwards. Link to comment
Star Lin Posted May 21, 2015 Share #17 Posted May 21, 2015 Well, shit. Looks like I'm going to miss the event. I was schedule for 9:30 am to 5:45 pm. I'll probably have to drop Kestlona at the event site after Clio's party Friday night. That way I hope to at least catch the very end of it (if the queue isn't too long). Link to comment
Arrelaine Posted May 21, 2015 Share #18 Posted May 21, 2015 HoD will have guards there again! Link to comment
KHMarie Posted May 21, 2015 Share #19 Posted May 21, 2015 Sery hopefully can make it, Limsa is where she grew up and her patron god is Llymlaen, so I'm sure it'd be a lot of fun to take part in the event. Link to comment
Asmodean Posted May 21, 2015 Share #20 Posted May 21, 2015 If guards are still needed Asmo can always swing by as he owes the people of Limsa a few favors for taking care of him while down on his luck early on in his travels. Link to comment

Sery hopefully can make it, Limsa is where she grew up and her patron god is Llymlaen, so I'm sure it'd be a lot of fun to take part in the event. That sounds great! Let me know if you need anything: an IC reason, clothes, etc. There's no dress code, but I want people to make excuses to go to events and not vice versa. If guards are still needed Asmo can always swing by as he owes the people of Limsa a few favors for taking care of him while down on his luck early on in his travels. Fantastic! Always happy to have another blade on hand. Limsa will be a bustle of activity and sure there's lots to be gained from meeting people after the performances too. Setting up the after points for pilgrims to enjoy today; really excited for how this event will turn out and it's evening for Europe so a good turnout all around. Link to comment
SM Nick Posted May 21, 2015 Share #22 Posted May 21, 2015 Any chance of Oka in a mermaid costume dressed as Llymlaen singing a sea-themed song or something like that? Link to comment
Jancis Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share #23 Posted May 22, 2015 Unless something comes up short notice, it'd be backup. But there's no dress code for the pilgrimage and it is in a city. I suggest something that's flowy and good for a breezy summer day. Also something you probably wouldn't mind being in a tavern in. Llymlaen herself is seen as a fisherwoman so that outfit, or something blue-green like her symbol is also appropriate. But clothing is just trivial come in what makes you feel good! Link to comment
Cliodhna Eoghan Posted May 22, 2015 Share #24 Posted May 22, 2015 But clothing is just trivial come in what makes you feel good! really? OuO cause i got a cute newish outfit.... *preps the fainting couch* don't worry, i'll be sure to be casually covered for you :lol: Link to comment
Jancis Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share #25 Posted May 22, 2015 Thaliak's Grace... ~~~~~~~~~~ This is this Saturday, tomorrow, at 4pm Eastern, Time converter below. Meeting at the Aftcastle and then walking over to the stone.
