His Royal Highness, Artan, will hold ROYAL COURT on behalf of our
King and Queen, Radu and Broinnfhionn. It will probably start between 5:45 and 6:00 and I'm
told it should last for no more than about ten minutes.
When Court ends, Peers of the Realm and their Households may arrange their feast settings
and take leave of the hall; the populace will be invited to do likewise five minutes later.
The Great Hall will then be closed so that the servers may place the first remove and light
candles. The populace will be called to return. Those seated at High Table may process in and
feast will commence at the pleasure of HRH Artan, Heir to the Throne of Meridies.
Revelry to follow the feast - bring your dancing shoes! See the
dance sets for the revel below the class schedule on this page.
