In Celebration of the Trader

One and all is invited to come give thanks and hear inspirational words in regards to Nald'thal.

Nald'thal is the overseer of transactions and the underworld, and god of commerce. He commands the element of fire and is associated with the tenth moon of the Eorzean calendar. Nald'thal is the single manifestation of the deific twins Nald and Thal. He is most often depicted as a discerning merchant holding a balance. His symbol is the cowry, an ancient shell currency.

There will be escort available for low levels to make it safety to the meet up point and the venue.

There is no dress code for this event; participants are encouraged to come in comfortable walking clothes and shoes.

Music and stories from some special guest speakers and bards will highlight the evening. After the presentation, everyone is encouraged to mingle, give prayers and thoughts, or partake in the smaller congregations. Entire main event is planned to last a hour with hosts staying around afterwards for free-form role play.

~While this is a pilgrimage in celebration of one of the Twelve, really would like to express the theme and environment of this event is to come together and have an inspiration evening for each other and on reflection. This night will not have strong overtones of worship and ceremony.~

RE: Celebration of The Trader - Zenath - 10-01-2014

Sounds nice, I'd love to go.

RE: Celebration of The Trader - Aya - 10-01-2014

This sounds absolutely beautiful Jancis, I am going to be there if I am free that night :-]

RE: Celebration of The Trader - Coatleque - 10-01-2014

As a devout follower of the Twelve, Coatleque will certainly be there! Whether to guard or observe with others.

RE: Celebration of The Trader - OttoVann - 10-01-2014

God of commerce though...how can I miss it. I may be there in less flashier 'street clothes' to quietly observe. Otto is too impure to partake.

RE: Celebration of The Trader - Adrian - 10-01-2014

I'd love for Reinette to attend! I wouldn't mind helping you host, Jancis.

RE: Celebration of The Trader - Jancis - 10-01-2014

People are quite welcome to observe anonymously...

I've gotten some PMs about guard work and the like, I'm definitely happy to have some help be it a small or large part. I will touch base with everyone and make a list of special guests and paid workers for the event tomorrow.

Outside of the main performance, if anyone is interested in priest work or mini things afterwards I'm happy to help support that by providing a little alcove area and promoting it. Just let me know your idea.

RE: Celebration of The Trader - plumsamurai - 10-01-2014

Sigurd would be more than happy to offer his help as well! He's a pretty devout follower of Thal, after all. And he'll always help out friends and fellow Coralites with events.

RE: Celebration of The Trader - Ilwe'ran - 10-01-2014

I would be really glad to come, but 9h30 EDT = 4h30AM my time (I live in EU) i_i .

RE: Celebration of The Trader - Nebbs - 10-01-2014

If it were Friday or Saturday I could come, but Sunday is too late for EU times and to get up for work. Sad

RE: Celebration of The Trader - Jancis - 10-02-2014

I'm sorry lovely people in Europe and Asia, it is not friendly times. Blush

I wanted to be as unimposing with a first event as possible. Monday/Tuesday are fairly PvE for a lot of people I know, Friday and Saturday are pretty popular with FC events typically.

With the people who responded to star in the event and their availability and my ideal days being Sunday and Wednesday based off of typical 'free days' for a short event, but with the convention the following weekend the time fell "best" into the late Sunday/early Monday spot.

If the event works out there are more of the Twelve to replicate the experience with new guests and a different time slot.

Still, big apologizes. I will do my best to get a good log and lots of pictures of the event!

RE: Celebration of The Trader - QueenFrejyalen - 10-03-2014

This is a very unique idea, and an event that Queenie can attend!  She is always down to pay her respects to the Twelve.

=3  I hope to be there~

RE: Celebration of The Trader - Xydane - 10-03-2014

I'll definitely try to make it and I'll be happy to have Xydane on guard detail. Thumbsup

RE: Celebration of The Trader - Jancis - 10-09-2014

So excited at the response I've gotten from this idea.

A lot of people are getting involved and it should be a blast for the turnout.

For Pilgrims:
  • During the performance, pilgrims are asked to be silent in the public channels. Emotes with /em, /say, and /yell are asked to be held off until the main performance is over.
  • Animation and sound emotes are welcomed! Please just turn the text off on them during the performance.
  • In lieu of reacting in /em and /say, pilgrims are encouraged to form parties with their friends and groups to react to each other in /p - that should help with the text bloat and keep the reactions more personal and immersed with the main people pilgrims want to interact with.
  • Anyone willing to host a "during performance" party for those who come on their own please contact me so I can find you at the event start and get people together to interact and meet. If a group of friends has room in their party and wouldn't mind hosting a new addition, that would be wonderful too. We'll sort it out at the start of the event.
  • After the performance, everyone is welcome to use /em and /say and can change parties as wanted.
Also have some crowd interaction planned, so pilgrims are encouraged to watch for emote prompts!

There will be a playlist of music available for atmosphere to play in the background from YouTube.

~ I am still touching base with everyone involved for questions and hashing out little details to keep the event flowing. If I haven't found you and friend-ed you online yet I'm looking! (dumb search system) so if you spot me first, you win. Blush ~
