Come one, come all!
The 2023 Black & White Masquerade takes place this
weekend, and you are in for an experience! The day promises a wide range of
content consisting of tournaments, delicious food, and plot. Some of the
tournaments are ones you are already familiar with, and some, I have been told,
are new. I admit that I am pretty curious. I think this team has very innovative and clever people at the helm, so whatever they come up with will surely be a blast.
Nighttime is my favorite part of Black and White because I love gettin’ fancy. Everyone dons their masks and
fancy clothes before court, and you’d be surprised how well some of us clean up
after a long year of adventuring, hah! Just be sure Death doesn’t catch you
without your mask! Eep!
Squire Fern has been advertising an Autumn Dessert Showcase and the return of the Royal Pâtissier of Chimeron competition. If you
haven’t seen the details, you can click Here
for more information. The challenge for this year is cheesecake, so I hope you
all arrive hungry so you may indulge in this most decadent of desserts. Just
don’t eat so much that you can’t enjoy the dancing. That would be unfortunate. Additionally,
you will have a Stacked Deck poker tournament and an auction to look forward
to. There is a little something for everyone.
This event is a very meaningful one for our community. It is
a celebration of the Day of the Dead and an opportunity to reflect and recall
our favorite memories of those who no longer quest beside us in the
conventional sense. This is a tradition that I hope we all appreciate for many
years to come, and I am grateful that it has been a part of our lives for so
many years.
Have fun, everyone, and please remember to take a ton of pictures!
