Intergalactic Summit

Ladies and gentlemen, denizens of the Intergalactic Summit and my fellow capsuleers,

For fifteen thousand years the Amarr Empire has stood as a beacon to the fragmented, disparate refuges of mankind in this uncaring and unforgiving cluster. Despite what a fearful outsider's opinion of that civilization might be, none can deny that it is a mighty power, a monumental and unrelenting edifice dedicated to the will and perseverance of mankind under the direction of the Divine.

Though it is the stoic strength of the Empire that is seen most often from the outside and exemplified from within, the Empire is also a bastion of civilized sophistication, enlightened discourse and rich, refined culture. Our vast armies and stern rule of law exist to protect and expand that culture: the end result of and final reason why they exist in the first place. Though we at PIE so often engage in the selfless sacrifice of embarking upon holy war on the behalf of the safety and prosperity of our great Empire, there are times where we may allow ourselves to be at ease, celebrate and partake in a small taste of the fruits of our labor.

It is both my honor and my pleasure to announce that the Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris will be holding a grand formal ball on the evening of June 15th, YC 115 starting at 19:00 EVE Standard Time. We invite all those loyal to, allied with or in good standing towards the Empire and PIE to attend this gala event! (Admittance shall be by invitation and pre-approval only. Enemies of the Empire and PIE need not apply.)

Event Details

The Dolvan Hetrelad Ball Room

Situated upon upper-decks of the ancient Emperor Family Academy in orbit over Oris, the Dolvan Hetrelad Ball Room was first built in 22536 AD and more recently renovated in 23175 AD. It has played host to thousands of high-society events in its long history. While one of the smaller ballrooms on the station, it has always been known as an exquisite and exclusive venue, reserved for events that are modest in size but opulent in execution. It is only by the grace of its good standing with the Empire and the EFA station council that PIE was allowed to rent this beautiful venue for the evening.

With a dance floor and pillars of black marble and windows on two sides that look directly unto the vast heavens, dancing in the Dolvan Hetrelad as been likened to "dancing amongst the stars themselves."

Music by The Ves-Udor Philharmonic Orchestra

Tracing its origins to the first Udorian slave orchestra in existence, it has since grown into the preeminent musical institution on the entire continent of Ves-Udor on Amarr Prime. No finer musicians may be found elsewhere in the Empire except in Dam-Torsad itself, or in the personal employ of the Empress and Heirs.

The repertoire shall include a selection of classical Amarrian ballroom orchestral music including waltzes, minuets, allemandes and tango, with orchestral variations of folk and ethnic dance music from the greater Empire.

The Empire's Finest Indulgences

Only the best will be served during the evening, with the most consummate Imperial-distilled spirits, wines, and hors d'oeuvre to be provided to all guests.

A Selection of Imperial Artistic Masterworks

Should guests tire of the pageantry in the main ballroom, a side-room shall be set with a small choosing of great Amarrian artworks for the keen of mind and soft of spirit to enjoy.

Dress Code

Formal attire only please. You may wear culturally specific formal clothing, so long as it is modest enough to conform to Amarrian standards. Those dressed inappropriately will be turned away at the door. (Or given an emergency Imperial formal robe. May smell of old Holder.)

We of the Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris corporation and alliance look forward to seeing you all there!

For the glory of our great domain, Semper Pax and Amarr Victor!

[When ready join the channel PIE Ball Room - Foyer and you will be invited to the appropriate channels.]

I'd like to request an invitation as a member of the Imperial Congregation channel.

I didn't realize PIE still had balls. I see they drive the ladies crazy, though.

Hmm I seem to be missing from the list.

Could you correct it, love?

Oh, pity my invitation got lost in the mail. It's always a good thing to see more social galas sprouting left and right in any case...



Nicely played.

Emphasis mine.

You've already publicly established that you fall into the second category there, Caine, and it's well-known you don't meet the requirements for the first to begin with.

Awww man I never get invited..

You do realize this is the end of a little more than a month-long celebration, captain Inhonores, don't you?

Hmm.. I, as well as my corporation, would be very happy to attend; would you care to extend an invitation?

I hope everyone has a lovely time. As I have no alliances or loyalties either way, I can only dream of being invited to such a party.
