the prince wasn’t fond of being separated from his wife , but they both had duties to their guests who demanded time. congratulations , warm wishes , and bright hopes were offered more than he could remember , but even still the prince continued smiling at each who approached him even as he stole glances to the radiance that was his wife. when he catches movement in the corner of his eye he looks away from her once more , finding the face of his new company. “ i trust you are having an enjoyable night ? ” because he wants everyone to be happy with these festivities , unlike the prior ones they all lived through.
the past three months have been filled with blissful a peace as the nobles of the known world returned to their homes and spent their time with their loved ones. it has been a time of great joy and a renewed sense of purpose as alliances are secured in the form of betrothals and weddings, and some are broken for the betterment of their people. healing from the loss and trauma of the past almost six months hasn’t been easy, and perhaps it never will be, but moving on and settling into the next part of their lives is all they can do. most would’ve like their time apart to be longer, and some likely would’ve preferred not to have to be confined together all over again, though slowly but surely the ravens arrive: invitations to a wedding at the predicted start of summer. the marriage of dorne’s ruling prince, oberyn martell, to his paramour and mother of his children, vevienne dayne, promises to be nothing short of a grand affair, and they plan for everyone to witness it.
information .
nobles will begin arriving to dorne after three months apart for the wedding of the ruling prince and future ruling princess of dorne, and will be staying in the capital of sunspear.
invitations were sent out about a month - a month and a half prior to ensure guests had adequate travel time and arrangements to the south.
upon their arrival, there will be a few days leading up to the wedding to assure everyone arrives and has the opportunity to settle in and take in sunspear. celebrations have been in full swing throughout the city for several days now !
as of the time arc ii begins ( july 15, 12pm est ), we will be diving straight into our wedding event, meaning that nobles have arrived and have spent a few days settling into dorne before this. the event will go from the start of arc ii and last until sunday, july 31 @ 11:59pm est . all threads, during this time, should be event focused, though no new ones should be posted after the event ends .
if you’d like to post a break between arc i threads and the start of arc ii, you’re absolutely encouraged to do so, as general starter tags will continue to be used.
please tag all open starters ( not closed starters ), as thronesroyalwedding and thronesevent06. if you’d like to post any character outfits for the wedding, you may do so using the thronesoutfits tag !
all in all, have a blast ! & if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to let me know !
for once , the little spy was not trying to gain any nefarious information in her explorations. she simply had never been to sunspear , and in their time had taken full advantage of learning every crevice of the castle. she supposed it was work related , knowing your environment came in handy. but she also had no desire to spend time in the wedding festivities with a smile on her lips and entertaining the lords and ladies her parents sent to her in hopes of setting up a betrothal. any they approved of were boring. on her walk the echo of footsteps sounded through the halls , and her own slowed. “ hello ? ” she hadn’t expected to find anyone so far from the free alcohol.
