Good people of Eorzea – our champions all:

 

House Dufresne extends to you its invitation to attend a celebratory ball, that we might honour those men and women who performed so admirable before the Fury in Her Grand Tournament and to bring this year’s festivities to a close.

 

The affair is to take place this 9th Sun of the Third Umbral Moon, in the Hoplon Plaza before the Vault and the Pillars of Ishgard.  Attire is to be formal dress with the Coerthan climates in mind, and refreshments will once again be provided by our dear friends at the Shooting Star Bakery, whose talents in their craft are bound to please your palate.

 

The proceeds of raffles throughout the evening, will, as ever, be put toward relief efforts throughout Eorzea in this time when her peoples are most in need, and our floor managers highly encourage all to participate in the dance.

 

We sincerely hope that you join us on this evening of merriment. Until then, may you go blessed by the Fury!

[align=center]————————————————————————–[/align]

[align=center]The streets of the Pillars are gowned in the raiments of a springtime that never quite reaches through the chill of Ishgard’s endless winter, conjuring memories of garden balls in greener seasons through its evening’s mimicry. Lampposts are crowned by wreaths of fragrant flowers, and the pennants strung between them hang as bursts of vibrant color against the predominant grey.  On such a night of celebration as this, there are only stray petals that rain down from above, where once was the threat of dragonfire.
