2215 - Winter
. . .

Modest invitation administered first to direct and extended members of the royal family line. Decorated in speckled butterflies caught in flight across the margins, a signature lettering style from the Lumin King's Heir and Nemea's Luminary Sunsets over Moonlight. The extended invitation finds sects of the royal court, the stylish parchment depicting a grand honor: a tea party.

Presenting in many forms, from the interpersonal meeting between two parties, to political functions decided from kettle's pour to large, grandiose events in particular honor of life, transition, expressed gratitude. The tea party settles itself in the ethos of season, occasion, host. Tar'aiel, a specific tea party akin to a potluck where, instead of primarily being served tea, the guests bring blends of tea close to themselves, their family or culture to share with one another and the host. Similarly, the host offers a variety as if sharing a small piece of oneself with many. The gesture brings strangers closer and friends closer, too. Guests are encouraged to bring only thoughtful blends of tea that hold significance to themself opposed to bringing something that does not. It is better to come empty handed yet prepared to learn than bringing something thoughtless-- as the latter is frowned upon.

To the recipient of this invitation,

 

On behalf of the royal House Caewynn, you are cordially invited to Tar'aiel in celebration of life and thereafter for Lord Dawn. One-hundred and twenty-two years lived with more upon the horizon, a blessing shared, a rite and right enacted with nothing but love. Loved ones of Dawn's, citizens of the realm, friends and strangers are welcomed into the capitol building's celebration halls.

 

Tar'aiel, the blossoming of one for many. Customs dictate the showcase and exchange of tea heralding from one's kin-- close knit blends unique to oneself in celebration of another's individual accomplishment. The tea-centered potluck will rain luck and good tidings to come to the celebration's focus and partygoers alike.

 

We look forward to your attendance,

 

from the royal courts of Delphina

Heir and Luminary Sunsets over Moonlight, 2216
