The Royal Revelry Date: Thursday, 3 November 2016 Time: 9:00pm RST Location: Overlord Isle (The Arena—RoH) Setting: Overlord Isle is the place to be tonight for a classy Royal Revelry! Put on your best dress and come celebrate victory with The Empress Overlady.

Ferries are leaving regularly from several locations along the RhyDin waterfront to bring guests to the island. Moreover, a portal has been set up outside the Red Dragon Inn.

The party starts on the grass outside the manor. Don't worry, mages have been hired to keep the air balmy even in November! Strings of lights form illuminated walls and criss cross through the air over tables surrounding a large dance floor. There's a full band on hand. The music won't stop all night (click here to listen!). https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/99/d7/4b/99d74b3c1118ab8c608e0e83bc8812b1.jpg https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/d6/1e/0d/d61e0dd8e95e50936f60b2940bdc8cd9.jpg https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/ab/72/cb/ab72cbae95372699c3daece3aa03b3d1.jpg

In one corner, there are tables of finger food (plus servers carrying trays around throughout the evening) and a fully stocked bar serving up everything and anything, including a few specialties: Empress Lemonade https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/9d/d0/8d/9dd08d127dc354c08836073942f6a944.jpg Scepter Sparklers https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/a7/6a/71/a76a71384b69cee276a36784c239a545.jpg

A Shot at Overlord http://www.lovethispic.com/uploaded_images/54337-Blue-Shot-Glasses.png

Where the grass turns to sand, there is lounge seating, fire pits, and another bar. There are also stacks of towels for anyone who doesn't mind ruining their clothes with an impromptu swim (the water is actually quite warm). https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/c7/d3/65/c7d36535c3e0d91504052bc496759882.jpg

When you're tired of dancing, kick off your shoes and fight to the music instead. The beach is where all the dueling rings are for the evening. Circles are outlined with jars of faerie lights. Don't look at them too long! They can mess with your head.

Giveaway/Contest: There is a large prize basket on display near the main bar. Inside the basket: *Gift certificate: two night stay for two at Frontier Mountain Resort and Spa *Gift certificate: couples spa experience package at Frontier Mountain Resort and Spa *Bottle of faerie wine *Bottle of scotch *Chocolate truffles *Empress Overlady dagger *One sword fighting lesson with the Overlady

Jewell was at the party from the start, playing hostess in her backless dress and the Overlady crown of forget-me-nots (made of true silver) on her head.

Instead of a present, he brought the Overlady a secret.

Of course the schmooze would make an appearance at a swanky party held by the Empress (if only to exchange numbers again since his last phone found an unfortunate end.) Dressed to....well, okay, to cover his junk at least, the man brought along a fancy jug of an herbal liquor he'd found that he assured was probably not poisonous (didn't kill him at least on trying it before buying it but then given the eyepatch and glove he wore he was perhaps a poor test subject on survivability of potentially lethal substances.)

Saila doesn't duel, but she would watch the fights from the lounge seating area on the beach with a drink at her side and a sketch book open in her lap. Before the night was finished, her present would be added to the gift table — a startlingly lifelike portrait of the Overlady herself done in richly vibrant colored pencils.

The Baroness of Seaside was in attendance and she even wore shoes. Though she didn't partake in the food or drink, she did plenty of dancing, marveling at the idea that she could do so of her own volition. It was like Court but not and as such, it left the little faerie more than a little dizzy by the end of the night. For the evening's hostess she brought a gift, an ornate bottle bearing the mark of the butterfly that, when the stopper was removed, would invoke the essence of Summer through the general vicinity in which the bottle was opened. Summer breezes along with the sweet golden warmth of a full sun, all at the mere opening of the bottle. Like many things so often were, the effects were only temporary but could be replenished by closing the bottle and reopening it again.

Though Josette would not be dueling, she was always up for dancing! Every true celebration called for champagne, so the ballerina brought along a pretty bottle as a gift for the Empress to toast to her victory, as well as an accompanying box of Ladur?e macarons.

Morriah's gown is posted below. Her hair in a simple fishtail braid over her shoulder and make-up pinker lipstick, copper eyeshadow, and black mascara.

For a gift, she brings a pouch of lavender petals tied with a blue ribbon with a forget me not etched in white ivory dangling from it to be used as a choker if so chooses.

Antonia won't be dueling, since fighting and actual rules don't go together in her mind. But she'll gladly dance, drink, and perhaps even socialize if she spots a familiar face or two in the crowd.

Her gift for the Hostess will be a bottle of Armand de Brignac Blanc de Blancs Silver. This beautiful pale-gold 100% Chardonnay Champagne has a light, clear bouquet possessing youthful fruit notes and floral accents. The structure of the wine is delicate and light; the palate is dry, ethereal and complex. Bottled in a platinum bottle with matching antique silver labels. An experience of ultimate luxury wrapped in a red bow.

As soon as Eden finishes her homework for the night and Cory finishes his work, they're both going to try to make it to Jewell's fancy Overlady party!

As a gift, the couple brought Jewell a pair of earrings. Guess who picked them out!

("Aren't they cute, Cory!? They're pineapples!")

And of course, because she was told to bring a gift, Eden was pretty certain it must be Jewell's birthday. The card read: Happy birthday, Empress!

It was a Royal Pain kind of night-and that meant purple, to Rena anyway. And with the way the dress flowed, she may duel or she may dance or sit on the table as always and watch.

As for a gift-only the best for the Empress Overlady:

Eden arrived with a handsome date on her arm and a gift basket of merlot (three bottles) for the Overlady.

Ransom arrived with his Eden on his arm, dressed to the nines in basic black so the peacock teal of her dress was free to shine. In addition to the bottles of merlot his better-half was toting, he brought a set of cut crystal wine goblets.

The winner of the grand prize (probably because she dueled more than anyone to get her name entered multiple times and gave me adorable pineapple earrings) is Eden Parker!

Congratulations Eden!

((Icons will be sent out in the coming days!))
