OOC Thread: https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=249911.0<br/><br/>Word has spread far and wide that Lady Ashinana Vestang, marchioness of an oasis domain bearing her name, is holding a grand celebration commemorating her first year of rule over her out-of-place and arid realm, but that is not all.  In addition, she plans to unveil a startling archeological discovery recently found in the nearby Valley of Death that would astound all those interested.  To this end Lady Vestang has nearly invited all dwelling within her fiefdom to the celebration for it is said the noblewoman likes to have a large audience present.  Many foreign guests: nobles, merchants, and their ilk are also invited for the auspicious event.  You two, whether you know each other or not; or are either visitors, or natives of the oasis, cannot help hearing all the hubbub of the upcoming celebration nor of the mysterious archeological find that soon would be revealed to all.<br/><br/>Ashinana’s Oasis, is rather a small community in middle of a vast desert which provides the barest of necessities for those travelling from one point to another in these desert lands.  Besides the lady’s manor, which is the centerpiece of the town; there is the Dancing Tabi, the closest thing that could be considered to be an inn in the area.  Several tents and stalls form a makeshift marketplace where merchants and craftsmen hawk their wares or offer their services respectively.<br/><br/>One of the saying going about around the oasis with regards to the event is that everybody is invited whether they be a pauper or of the gentry.  All are allowed to attend but there are a couple of conditions.  For one, a potential invitee must be appropriately dressed for the occasion and that goes double for those who do not have the means.  To meet this necessary requirement it said that Lady Vestang has spared no expense in hiring tailors to her oasis to measure and make outfits for those who would need it.  Such tailors are said to stand in wait outside the lady’s manor to provide their services.  Another requirement needed to be met in order to get formally invited is to get to wear a mask along with the outfits provided.  Why this is nobody knows, but nobles are known for their eccentricities.  Regardless, wearing a mask to event is a must.  Such are articles are said to be provided by the tailors as well and are found with the manor’s courtyard.<br/>
