The Societas is pleased to host the Fourth Annual Masquerade on Saint Razhden’s Day (or close enough!), with a theme set during the early decades of the Udorian Wars during the Amarr and Khanid conquest of Ves-Udor (circa 20185 AD). This was a time before gunpowder and complex machines. A time of swords and shields and sailing vessels. A time of Paladins and Knights. Saint Razhden was a warrior saint, with both piety and martial prowess.
Guests are asked to wear period garb, whether of the Empire or their own culture’s equivalent periods. As an example, here is Lunarisse’s Ceremonial Armor , the design of which dates back to that period. It is also traditional for the wearer’s eyes and/or face to be masked . As explained in cultural texts about the Amarr
“Outside of ritual, masks are also used as a form of Amarrian heraldry. These masks, decorated with specific colors and iconography according to a strict set of rules, represent Amarrian noble houses, and they are frequently worn at high society affairs.”
There will also be a charitable auction at the neighboring “Aden shalador: Pious Observatory” run by the TOSJ to help raise funds for Khimi Harar’s projects for those who wish to attend.
