balmung [Balmung] Princesses' Gathering 6 & 7 Mar/13 & 14 Mar 7PM - 10PM EST

[Thiji Higuri]

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.

The Princesses' Gathering shall begin tomorrow.  I am looking forward to serving you all.
