[align=center]In Celebration of the Matron[/align]

 

[align=center]One and all is invited to come give thanks and hear inspirational words in regards to Nophica.[/align]

 

[align=center]Nophica, tender of soils and harvests and goddess of abundance, commands the element of earth and is tied to the Sixth Astral Moon (eleventh month). She is depicted as a jubilant farmer holding a steel scythe, and her symbol is the spring leaf. Nophica is also the patron of Gridania

 

The Hymn of Nophica

Sun's sweet smile and wind's cool breath,

Both of these I send thee,

To ripe thy fruit and spread thy seed,

And nourish those that tend thee.[/align]

Event starts in Old Gridania (7,10). at Nophica's Altar, leading to Stillglade Fane on Saturday, November 22nd at 4:00PM Eastern EST (-5UTC).

 

Low level people outside of Gridania (15 and lower) will need to advise beforehand if they need passage to the venue.

 

There is no dress code for this event; participants are encouraged to come in comfortable walking clothes and shoes. Pilgrims are also encouraged to know the Harvest Dance (14+). Quest details below.

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.

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 will be given for abundance to pilgrims.

 

Entire main event is planned to last a hour with hosts staying around afterwards for free-form role play.

[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]

As always, I know a guy who might want to spin a yarn or two if you've got the room for him. Seems booked already!

I am so sorry I let that slip! Yes the jovial and light-hearted story teller is back on the bill! :lol:

 

Thanks for making this event early so EU can also participate @_@ !

After how long you stayed up for the last one?! Unbelievable! I was beyond honored :blush: 

 

And I have my nice green hedge witch outfit done. Oooh!

Eeee! :lol: Green and brown is the way to be!

 

 

I'm sure this will be as wonderful as your last event!

On a sadder note, to early in the day for my to make it as well with work and all. Holiday retail time x.x;

I will be there in spirit!

 

You are so kind. I will do my best to break out with pictures and stories of everyone there like I did with Nald'thal (even if it took weeks to do) so hopefully that'll make up for the sacrifice.

 

 

Also if anyone is interested still have room for dancers, guards, bless-givers and prayer-leaders for after the performance.

If you would like I can put on my priestess hat and give a [probably brief] prayer service and blessing.  Nophica holds a particularly dear place in Eva's heart and I'm very much looking forward to this.  :moogle:

I'd always be more than happy to help you, Jancis! C: I loved the last event so I super look forward to this one.

YES! I keep forgetting to ask when I come online. :blush: I get distracted I have my "to-do" list then it's all "Hello" and then "Oo, something shiny..." and then hours past and I doze off. :sleepy:

5AM! :dazed: I don't know anyone who does that... certainly not me... the past weekend... because... okay I understand :blush:.

 

At one point I thought you went off to bed, but then you were so kind and asked if the event was still going on.

 

Oh, this looks quite entertaining. Consider it marked on my calender. :D

:lol::lol: Thank you!

 

I'm very excited to have it in Gridania this time around. I know my main goal is to travel around outside of the cities and do some open world role play, but the spot picked out is too peaceful and nice a venue to pass up.

It was to announce the event a last time (or not) in the OpenRP Linkshell before heading to bed ♥

yasss, i want to go on ehla!

 

Yay! :lol: The green blur! Plus that is so an ideal color.

 

If anyone wants to be an official dancer please let me know.

 

Also I'm willing to make cotton cowls in either a gobbie brown or a meadow green if people would like to be there incognito.

Working in retail a long time myself I understand that. In fact a lot of the best deals are typically the Sunday before Thanksgiving as opposed to Black Friday itself.

 

Always buy what you really want, not whatever is "saving" money; always spending money in reality anyway. ;)

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Everything is coming together well and the venue has been cleaned of debris for the welcome of pilgrims!

 

In fact some pilgrims can be seen time to time as they make their way to Gridania from their respective homes already.

 

If anyone is interested in being an official dancer or participant in the celebration please drop me a line.

 

We have a lot of honored guests speaking and performing, blessings to be given, I'm so excited. :lol::lol:

Can start spotting pilgrims in the cities time-to-time as they make their way to Gridania.

 

Particularly in the NA evening. When I'm off work. Just as a coincidence.

 

Doing a last check-up with the performers and I think the main event will go on a tad longer than Nald'thal's, because we have a lot of honored guests.

 

Blessings: Those seeking blessings for abundance are welcome to come and speak.

 

Apples: Apples will be available to all who come. Harvested rich and ripe apples can also be taken as a good omen for the body and a sign of abundance in life be it for family, friends, or oneself. Or for those who don't care for talk of omens... they're simply delicious.

 

Screenshots and logs will be taken of the event and posted later on the RPC.

Made an IC post about how your character can find out about the event.

 

http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=5431&pid=122805#pid122805

 

If you would like to have some one-on-one time with your character finding out, please let me know. I have a few pilgrim NPCs that can accommodate or Jancis herself can encourage people to come.

 

Touching base with all our performers tonight to get ready for the event which is this Saturday (no pressure) and very happy to have so many people to tell stories and share music.

 

Eee so excited! And nervous, but mostly excited! :lol:

I will be there and I will bring as many people as I can with me.  Harems have been alerted.

 

Be so happy to see Otto there! :lol: I hope everyone enjoys stories and blessings of abundance.

 

I've had a sneak peek at many of the presentations that's going to happen and it's pretty sweet. So excited!! :lol::lol::lol:

 

This is a little off-topic, but I heard on the news a bizarre story about a different kind of pilgrimage that happens in real life. Thought you'd appreciate it, Otto and harem attendees.

It's a news article. Nothing fancy.

 

Jancis has sent letters to everyone she knows about it.

 

I will not be around this evening, but I'll check the forums as I can later tonight! If you missed the pilgrims I'm sorry. I can do something early Saturday until about a hour before the event if anyone needs.

 

It's tomorrow... no pressure... I'm okay... no really.

Considering that you're the organizer, here, Jancis... should we put the word out to follow Otto's example?
