Companionship for the Winterdark Ball

Dearest Friends,

The Winterdark Ball is fast approaching, and in my travels around our lands, I have heard many lamentations of those without someone to accompany them.

In these trying times, we should be brave and go after that which we desire most. Life proves all too short in our beloved town, and missed opportunities abound. I have witnessed a great need as of late, and I wish to remedy it post haste. And so, I am offering up myself as a match maker of sorts.

Are you perhaps too shy to ask the woman you have your eye on? Are you afraid of rejection by the handsome man you wish would ask you?

Allow me to be your intermediary.

If you have someone in mind, I will gladly ask them for you, sparing you the possible humiliation. If you simply wish someone to accompany you, I will match you with one of our other towns members who are also without a partner. We could all use a little levity in this post-war world, and the Winterdark Masquerade is a perfect time to get to know your fellow Travancians. The Ball need not be all about romance, it is the perfect time to cultivate new friendships too.

Send me a private missive with your details and requests and we will see if we can’t find you the perfect companion!

Kindest Regards,

The Widow Archangel

All,

Morwenne and I will be working together on this. While I am not as strong of an intermediary as she can be, I will go to great lengths to help those without specific people in mind find companionship. With the help of some directed questions we will work with you to find the best match for you for the ball.

Caldor.

I willna be going this year, but are the two of ye planning to do something o' this nature next year? I am not sufficiently refined to be in polite company, nor in a place wi' so many table settings.

While I do not know who wrote that last request, I am always willing to do this sort of services. Assuming there is a ball or similar event next year, I will plan to do it again.

Caldor

Well if I do decide to go to the upcoming ball I would require some decent clothes for it. If I were to obtain the proper attire I would be more than willing to accept your assistance.

Caldor and Morwenne,

Sadly I will not be in attendance this year. The timing is ill for travel out to Winterdark on a personal level. Besides I went stag last year and missed out on other things. While you are all in finery dancing with your beloved I'll raise a glass to you while the War Dog and I sit around the fire in the crisp air and hopefully bright stars for companionship.

Morwenne and I met at the festival and discussed this further.

This will be wonderful, and we thank those who have already signed up. We hope to have more of you as we get closer to the ball.

Caldor

If anyone would like to be escorted by my son Thomas, they are welcome to let Rayven or I know.

If anyone wishes for me to escort them... I suggest you get your head examined by a doctor first. If you still wish for me to escort you... I suggest you see a better doctor.

Dearest Friends,

Caldor has put together a lovely questionnaire to help us find appropriate companionship for those interested. We would like to take this opportunity to remind you to contact us, so that we may provide you with the details as soon as the final touches are complete.

While there is no shame in attending alone, I would encourage each of you without an escort to embrace the diplomatic mindset of the occasion. This is an opportunity for each of us to come to a better understanding of our fellow towns members, as well as the different cultures of Arawyn. And it's much easier to identify if that person bleeding on the ground is an ally after you've shared drinks together!

As always, we promise discretion and compassion. The chance to make a new life long friend comes along rarely. Embrace the opportunity and sign up today!

Kindest Regards,
