Election of Doge Mirkandar I
Election · Year 10
In the closing chapters of <em>Practical Adept</em>, <a href="/character/Minalan">Minalan</a> — ruling Farise under the assumed name <strong>Mirkandar the Magnificent</strong> ("Mirkandar" being effectively Minalan's Farisian alias and nom de guerre) — stood for election as sovereign Doge of Farise before the city's electoral council. His chief rival was <strong>Captain Rellin Pratt</strong>. Farisian tradition provided for a <strong>Rite of Challenge</strong>, a formal contest used only a handful of times in the city's history to settle disputed successions. Minalan won the election and was sworn in as Doge, a title answering to no other crown. Note: the specific details of the council's formal name, the venue on the Citadel, and Pratt's exact manner of yielding the Rite require further sourcing from the text of <em>Practical Adept</em> before they can be confirmed.
Vanador Double Wedding
Wedding · Year 9
The shared wedding of Sir Tyndal and Lady Tandine alongside Sir Rondal and Lady Gatina, held in Vanador. Two of the Spellmonger's former apprentices wed two extraordinary shieldmaidens at once: Tandine of Anferny -- a Wilderlord shieldmaiden from the jevolar -- and Gatina anna Furtius, the Kitten of Night, shadowmage of House Furtius. The day brought together magelords, Estasi Order knights, Tera Alon, Karshak masons, Tal Alon brewers, Kasari rangers, Alshari court, and Castali state -- effectively the whole world the Magelaw had built.
