Hail, Sapience.

A few short updates.

1. For those of you who were waiting for the Ember Hunt, it will be held within a month's time whenever Tharos deems the realms alive enough to do so. I do not presume to control the schedule of the Announcer of Delos.

2. At the next Serenade, I will be closing applications for the Asterian Masquerade as we require time to prepare. If you have communicated your intent to apply to myself but have not yet submitted a letter, do so posthaste. Applications without letters will not be considered accepted.

For those who have made letter submissions, do also deposit the required ticket fee of 10,000 gold per person to either the Bank of Delos in the Restoration account (AR) or send the fee directly to myself. You will also be receiving further information on the Masquerade, so look out for that.

I also encourage participants of the Masquerade to not go looking for other participants and their characters. Some element of surprise makes for a more immersive event.

3. This will be my final reminder to add your memories to the Orb of Memories in the Eleanor Thalos Memorial Arboretum, in the Asterian Restoration. Simply head IN, NORTH, 3 NORTH, and NORTHEAST, then read the poster with instructions there. We will look to close submissions after the Festival ends, which is after the Masquerade.

I strongly urge all not to miss this opportunity to share your memories in this relic. We learn so much from what is experienced instead of through verbal and written retellings. The more we share, the more knowledge we can preserve.

4. A final reminder as well to work on completing your journal tasks for the Festival if you intend to acquire the token we have prepared. Instructions on submissions will soon follow.

Regards,

Jurixe S. Nithilar
