An Evening of Elegance and Art
With the intention to celebrate the arts and host a pleasant evening: the prestigious art critic and appraiser, Arthur Wechsler, sponsored by Adagio Von Rolanthe, formally invites all citizens to an art auction. It will be hosted at the Von Rolanthe Estate, on December 27, 312 AC .
The pieces presented are part of a carefully curated collection that are sure to pique your interest. Minimum bids range from 300 regals all the way to 10,000 regals, depending on the general quality of the piece.
Notably, the most expensive piece of the collection and the main piece of the auction is The Cloudless Sky: A stunningly beautiful painting fought over by two powerful noble families, only to be lost in transport once it was acquired. Years passed by, yet no one had a clue of its whereabouts. Rumor has it a rogue stole it and the piece had been circulating in the black market ever since. That is, until Arthur Wechsler, host of this event, managed to take it back.
With the goal of distributing beautiful paintings and returning them to true art-appreciating, worthy eyes, any lawful resident of Regalia is welcome to attend.
The dress code shall be formal, due to the nature of this event.
Before the auction starts there will be a brief 30 minute preview period in which interested buyers may check the pieces on sale. The items will be presented from least to most expensive, with a small, ten-minute interval, before the last most important piece.
Lastly, House Norinn and House Delmotte are both directly invited, and on attendance will be considered special guests of honor.
What? An art auction mainly presenting paintings, though there could be sculptures/miscellaneous items.
When? December 27, 2024. 8pm est.
Where? Von Rolanthe Estate, at /tp nobledistrict
Who? Anyone who isn't outlawed or despised by the city, unless disguised somehow.
May I crash this event?
Please don't!
The Cloudless Sky? What is that?
A very famous painting with an interesting story, as shown in the post. It's a real lore item, and recognizable by any characters knowledgeable on the arts.
Heya! Small reminder to not metagame information.
Is this real?
The Cloudless Sky is forged. Please keep this in mind if you plan on bidding on that one, in case you don't want your character to get ripped off. Otherwise, all the other pieces are real.
