>>I was wondering if anyone was going to bring up ol'Ansel :-)
Speaking of that, the Ansel system *didn't* go off like it was supposed to, so there was a bit more damage than there should have been. Plus there's investigations now as to why it didn't go off. Love and happiness is not at the workplace now.
So, first things second, the Guardian Keep opening and ball, along with the rest of my plans, is not cancelled. With EG here, I certainly don't want to run a ball at the same time, so I expect to it afterwards (likely the middle of November). Also, I suspect I will not be able to do it all in one weekend like I had originally planned, so likely the Platinum ball will come first, with the Prime one a week after that. Things are still up in the air, so please do be patient, and I'll post dates as soon as I can nail them down.
Regarding happenings around Vaalor, my current situation is going to put a crimp in it. I'm going to try very hard to timely continue the current storyline lead-ins (Yes, there IS one. Chatter on the boards to keep everyone interested!), and to continue to work on my planned releases, but again, please be patient. They will happen, just not on the timeframe I originally wanted to do them in.
Many thanks to you all.

Dateline 8/25/2008: GRAND BALL ANNOUNCED TO HERALD OPENING OF GUARDIAN KEEP!
Author: GS4-ALYIAS
Date: 8/25/2008 12:47:04 AM
King Tyrnian Vaalor is pleased to announce a royal ball on the occasion of the newly-renovated Guardian Keep. Due to the importance and scale of this event, the elven king will magnanimously allow all members of the populace to attend.
Guardian Keep, long an emblem of Ta'Vaalor's might and majesty, had been long closed to the public. King Tyrnian has expressed hopes that the opening of the keep allows the general population to more closely experience the glory of his people.
All guests are expected to dress in formal attire. Slovenly appearance or behavior shall not be tolerated.
The ball will be held on Feastday, the 20th day of Imaerasta, in the year 5108 (September 20th - Prime). An encore of the ball will be held on Restday, the 21st day of Imaerasta, in the year 5108 (September 21st - Platinum). For both evenings, the ball will commence at 9:00 PM, ET.

Calling all scholars...Part Two!
Author: GS4-XAYLE
Date: 5/14/2007 9:17:33 PM
In reference to the knowledge symposium at the Lumnea festival, let me get the direly important official-type announcements out of the way.
These presentations, lectures, performances, etc, are for CREATIVE purposes only and will NOT be considered as OFFICIAL documentation, nor will they be added to the cannon of OFFICIAL documentation.
CREATIVE, NOT OFFICIAL.
Now that that's out of the way...
All entrants must be of pure elven heritage, no dark elves or half-elves, puhleeze. You can choose any aspect of elven culture you like, from style of dress to religion to military. Whatever strikes your fancy. These, however, are to be academic in nature, so approach them as you would a term paper. You have a point, you have evidence/hypothesis to support the point, and you have an overall conclusion. You can USE official documentation as references for your works, but again, your works themselves will NOT be considered OFFICIAL in any way. (My sponsors will flog me if I don't use capitalization). Be creative. Dazzle us with your deep ponderings of elvish nature, society, and culture. Creativity in concert with official documentation is what I'm looking for.
A lecture might be something like a commentary about the evolution of elven religion, a comparison between any facet of two or more cultures, or an examination of any given system of ethics. Presentations might include history and demonstrations of rituals, a modeling and explanation of the significance of cultural dress/ornamentation/crests/etc, or an examination of the impact of various celestial events on the aspects of daily life. Some aspect of elven culture should be involved in each presentation.
These are due by June 4th and should not be dropped off at the Aies Library, but rather should be dropped in my mailbox (gs4-xayle@play.net). Once all the submissions are in, they?ll be narrowed down to 9, and those 9 will be announced. Submissions should include your character's name, race, title of the presentation, a complete run-down of the presentation (from what will be spoken to a detailed outline of any rituals or demonstrations to be performed, and they should be IC in nature), and whether or not the event would need to take place at night (in the case of a celestial type of presentation). Submissions received after the due date will automatically be excluded.
Any questions can be directed to the above address.
Happy ponderings,
~ X.

Calling all scholars...

Calling all scholars and leaders of academia:
At this year's Lumnea Festival, there will be a symposium on the evolution of elven culture. Entrants are limited to those of pure elven heritage. Faendryl and half-elves may not enter. This is not to be mistaken as a recitation of history lessons. These compositions are to be original in nature, though it is acceptable to use published works as references. This is an exercise in and a celebration of knowledge and academics purely for their own sakes.
Any aspect of elven culture you wish to explore is acceptable and submissions must be in by the 4th of Lumnea. You must include in your submission your name, given profession, the title of your presentation, and a copy of the presentation in its entirety. These performances should be no longer than fifteen minutes in length.
Out of all the submissions, nine will be chosen to give their lectures at the symposium and will be judged by a council of three elven scholars. With consideration to execution, academic relevance, and creativity, the judges will select three winners.
These winners will receive bound copies of their lectures, as well as a token of appreciation, which will be presented in a formal ceremony.
Please drop your submission scrolls off at the Aies Library in Ta'Illistim.
Regards,
Ayimare Chaaniela, Scholar of House Ta'Illistim
