IC
Nestled in the rolling plains and quiet woodlands of Foracci lies Our Lady of Pride, the fortification that keeps Sarvos safe from land-based barbarians. Rising solid and yet stately, the castle is a shining example of Vigilance and Virtue.
Our Lady of Pride is not where this event is held.
Miles down the coast on the island of Cigno squats a square stone tower. It has the appearance of ancient white granite, but a scratch of the fingernail reveals that this is only a convincing veneer. During the day it mostly sits silent, but at night the tower comes alive with an ever-rotating host of Sarvos’ shining stars. Socialites and politicians rub shoulders with smugglers and professional rogues as conversation flows like wine. Artists and theatricals unveil their most risqué works, free from the censure that might meet them in the outside world.
Welcome then, to Our Lady of Audacity.
On this occasion, Our Lady of Audacity plays host to The Socialite Network, the Empire’s foremost union for cicisbeo. They are celebrating their first anniversary as well as their first major success, as soon the Open Fan Cicisbeo Academy will open its doors for the first time. Prince Bianca Legna di Sarvos is a great believer that having great Pride means one should throw great parties, and she has invited every cicisbeo in Anvil to join her - and their friends, as long as those friends aren’t boring.
Unfortunately, Bianca is also currently suffering under an Unfettered Anarchy curse, so her long-suffering Master of Protection has taken over to do the actual organising. Tellany di Mestra promises canapés, wine, and cake, as well as precious diversions like raffles and music. Bianca meanwhile promises a new theatre piece, something to eclipse her last show - the Cursed Play that caused mass havoc in Anvil last year. Tellany laughs nervously, and promises that it definitely won’t be as dangerous as that. Probably.

OC
This will be a ticketed event for 60 guests costing £50 per person. 18 and over only. The ticket price covers canapés on arrival, as well as an evening meal and cake. It will mostly be a social event, hopefully with some plot elements mixed in (currently waiting for PD approval for sanctioning - we do aim to be a sanctioned event and we will update asap!). It is a low combat event, and the expectation is that no-one will be carrying any weapons. Anyone attempting to start trouble IC should expect to be stopped by our IC bouncers. There will be an OC bar selling alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages throughout the event.
While the event is open to all, priority for tickets will be given to those who play cicisbeo (a League archetype, roughly equivalent to a geisha - I’d link to a wiki page but uh, we don’t have one) or those who can give the name of a cicisbeo who has invited them. This info will be asked for as part of the EoI form.
