"A celebration is to take place where we might lay our dead to rest in order for new life to take root. Many lives have been lost in recent years, and that loss hangs heavy on the hearts of Arcadians, Delphinians and nations further. We must see their bones, literal and figurative, laid down to sleep lest we live in the stasis of grief forevermore. All those with loved or loathed ones still on their minds are welcome, no matter the banner you carry, so long as your intentions are pure. The dead are not tied to our mortal notion of nationality, only to the great beyond.

If you try to come and start shit, you will get kicked. Both out of the ceremony and in the shins. Language Uncle Aricles, I know, I know. Sorry about that. Only I really want them to, you know, get it. Wait, wait, are you still writing all this down? Please don't send the missive out like this..."

Arcadians, allies and...others...are asked to join in this ceremony of mourning and celebration - a chance to let go of their dead and welcome in new life. Let us all join hands together and unite Meranthe in the one thing that connects us all - the once-living and the not-yet-dead. Attendees are encouraged to bring totems representing the dead ones still on their minds, and thoughts of hopeful futures for those still alive.

"...And in this celebration where we lay our sorrows at the side of the fallen, let us be reminded of the fragility that comes with life as it continues to bloom. These threads that bind us together are not severed by death, but provide a strength that is intricately bound through compassion and love, and through joy and hope. For how fleeting life can be, it is what makes the gift more valuable between every promising heartbeat, every precious offering, every smile made, and every tear shed, and in this affirmation.. we remain capable of that kindness, growth, and unity that draws us closer together, planting hope rather than despair in the gentle breath of Harmony.


Let this time be one of celebrating a new beginning to a prosperous era, uplifting one another, emboldening each other's spirits, and nurturing something beautiful in this opportunity we take at each other's sides.

.. And as we all part away from this sacred moment, let us recall what seeds are sown that'll take root. May we, through connection, become resilient guardians of life that ever carries us onward, and give it a meaning that'll blossom like no other. In this celebration of death and life, we honor both of what was, and what has yet to come."
