In due course, all are dressed and arrayed and ready for the ceremony.

Minerva is wearing that breath taking backless black dress with silver trim of occult patterns she spoke of.

August is dressed formally, an echo of the Margrave he once was, and looks bemused at the easy and rapidity of the celebration. Perhaps he shouldn't be surprised; a Fiona hold, after all.

It's true, the house excells

Tredecim takes a perch on August.

It is not samhain yet.... but prep for it means this was even easier to set up

Zing taps on her feet

and Kylie comes out dressed as only a jeweler nocker can be...

With only a slight prod from Coradel, August takes a glass of .... fruit juice, and circulates the room while she does the same elsewhere (and NOT with fruit juice).

There's others who weren't excactly invited, but have slipped in

August will greet anyone he doesn't recognize, both because it is polite and for security's sake.

Fortunately most of them are locals or even regulars at the hold

Sir Ivory meets August "Baron, this is.. a bit impromptu, isn't it?"

"It, ah, yes it is. But, I suppose, if any holding could pull this off it would be a Fiona hold."

"True"

"I trust all is well with you?"

"Bit worried about Gwen., she's definitely a troll" Wry "All sained herself ,but she takes too much on herself"

"Gwen. Hm." August glances around for a visual memory prompt but.....??

"I'm afraid I don't recall the lady."

"She Stumbled throuh a trod here, ended up there in a dream dance. Ailil hold Silverwolf? Well, Ailil and Varich now"

"Ah."

"An acquaintance?"

"Oh yes... Now a troll of house Dairean"

"A Daireann.... troll. Hm."

"At an Ailil and Varich holding.... that's .... interesting."

"Well, the baron Aiden and Baroness Coradel have common interests in horses"

"Yes. They do."

He sips his juice.

"I'm sure your acquaintance will be fine." he reassures "Trolls feel their duties very strongly and can tend to take on a great deal, as befits a giant."

"I suppose you're righ i Just .."

August seems him too, a sidhe he doesn't recognize

The new comer has Aesin symbols, wears heavy armr

August takes a moment to watch this newcomer.

If he weren't sidhe, the stranger would seem unfomfortable

August nods to Ivory. "I'll just go greet this guest.... pardon me." and makes his way over.

"Of course"

As he comes closer to the armored newcomer, he nods in greeting. "Hello. I'm Baron Truthbranch. Welcome to EarthRunes."

"Baron," A bow "I am Uldun, of House Aesin, in service to your counnt...thouggh it is the Countess who sent me"

Zara kens the strange Aesin.

He seems not partticularly awash with glamour, but neither lackin

Anything else of note?

He does have a small symbol of the county on the hilt of his blade

And, glamour aside, he seems a bit...uncomfortable. This really isn't his place of choosing

Interesting. He bears watching, even as she waits to spot the Namer.

"Ah, yes. Of course. Please, be welcome."

A nod

And then, Rosco comes in.

Zara feels his power almost slam into her like a wall... the man comes in like a bulldozer, aleady kenning, Zara feels his magic cascading like an avalanche

and he feels her, the old Dougal stops , titls his head

Zara wraps herself in a Veil, despite already being physically hidden from view.
