Witches of Sybaris and our darling clientele, [break][break]

Welcome![break]

The Silverwing Gala is a coven-wide (and extra-coven) formal event. Please dress appropriate to the occasion, and try to really make an impression. ; )[break][break]

Attendees will have the opportunity to meet and network with Delphi's (and Salem's) most powerful witches and talent scouts, and potentially fast-track their membership to some of the largest and most influential Sybarite companies. [break][break]

Fine dining, finer company, and the chance to make your lucky break. Consider it a reward for your year of hard work—the proceeds this year, thank god, are not going to some charity. More for us, ladies and gentlemen. [break][break]

Oh, and you'll have the chance to play a killer game of roulette. [break][break]

Even if Dmitri wouldn't let me do the Russian kind, I'll make it worth your while.[break][break]

XOXO[break]
The Dealer[break][break]


The back of the invite has the names of the sponors:[break]

NOTE: THIS IS NOT A GLOBALLY INJURY-ENABLED EVENT.[break]
However, due to the fact that the event centers around NPC interaction, it may involve permanent injury, similar to NPC threads when and if characters choose to interact with NPCs.
[break][break]
Please sign up for the Silverwing gala with a non-preset character that is in Sybaris (preferred, they would have the ability to obtain the most rewards), character with a special invite (Kap Azes or Serafim Strix), or non-preset Hydra. Preset Hydra characters are not able to participate. [break][break]

Additionally, Sybaris Acolyte Presets will have an opportunity to play as "NPC-like characters" in this event in addition to a non-preset sign up (if any). In other words, this does not count as your admission for Silverwing, and presets will not have the same rewards as player characters! You may NOT sign up with a preset Sybaris sentinel. [break][break]

Participating with an acolyte preset is a great plot oppurtunity for many of you! If you are interested, please contact Pandora so we can give you directions.
[break][break]
We continue to try and provide events that are interesting and fun for our members. We hope to see you at the Silverwing Gala!
