Hail, Sapience.

It is my great pleasure to announce the opening of the third Asterian Convention: Chivalry in the Modern Age, hosted at the Asterian Restoration in collaboration with the Guild of Knights.

The opening ceremony featured all seven of the Guild's Chivalric Orders in a grand procession at the Theatron Meropian, along with introductions by each of the Orders' representatives. We thank the presenters for their efforts, the audience for their attendance, and honoured Divine guests Lord Sartan, Lord Neraeos, Lady Aurora and Lord Haskor for gracing us with Their presence.

Though you may have missed the opening celebrations, you may still visit the ring of pavilions in the Asterian Restoration to view the exhibits, wares and displays that the Orders have organised for you. Representatives may also intermittently be present there to answer questions and engage in discussion.

To do so, you may ENTER the PORTAL at the town centre of New Thera, then head inwards to reach the estate of the Asterian Restoration.

Additionally, affairs of the Convention continue to progress apace for this and the next two months. The full schedule is on UPCOMING, but in brief:

Questions may be directed to myself, Ser Aerek, or the various representatives. Take this rare opportunity to obtain a glimpse into the life of a Knight, and understand how the tradition of Chivalry has evolved from pre-Seleucarian definitions to its present-day incarnation.
