Ladies and gentlemen: the time has come once again!  After yet another winter’s time of gathering resources, the Higuri Regalia is proud to announce the 4th “Regalia Largesse”!  

For those unaware or uninitiated: The Regalia Largesse is an annual event spanning anywhere between 5-7 days that occurs around the late spring/early summer, and is considered the “pinnacle of Noblesse  Oblige”!  During this event, individuals from the Higuri Regalia’s hierarchy will make appearances within the various city-states to offer wares to the adventuring public - FOR FREE (Tips and donations are always greatly appreciated, but never mandatory)!  

On Sunday, May 9th, at around 7PM EDT, look for a Party Finder ad from any one of the Regalia members; they will provide you information on where they are, and what items will be offered, with a detailed list of what’s available while supplies last. Due to the ever-increasing quantity of wares, their post duration has been extended to three hours.

Also, throughout the week, starting at the commencement of the Largesse, those who are willing to partake in a special contest will receive a number.  On the Friday evening/last day of that week (i.e. the end of the Largesse), a raffle will take place where a series of numbers will be drawn, and those who win will be offered prizes!

RULES:

To enter the raffle, simply ask the representative currently posted during that day; a tracker is kept throughout the course of the event, and is shared amongst the Regalia members.

You MUST attend the final day of the Largesse in order to qualify for a chance to win.

In the event you are unable to attend the raffle for any reason, you are allowed 1 proxy to vouch for you, so long as they state whom they are replacing.

If your number happens to be drawn, you are offered a chance to decline a particular prize if you have eyes on another, but a winner will be decided for the sake of fairness.

Notes: Sprouts (New Players/Adventurers) will receive Flying Beds and/or Coffers o’ Kupos as a consolation gift.

HUGE UPDATE TO THIS YEAR’S LARGESSE: due to the increasing popularity of the Menphina Madness Blitzball Tournament (@for-gold-and-glory​), as well as being the proud sponsor of the Gridania Sea Chocobos, the Higuri Regalia is also offering a complimentary gift to the players in correspondence to their affiliated team.

Hello! a full body commission tonight for my dear friend, Master Blacksmith Naiman Mankhad. An absolute treasure of a person who has always been incredibly kind to me and whose friendship has really helped me grow over the last year as both a person and an artist. Hope you all enjoy it!

I learned that this is how they wash sheep in Mongolia and now I can’t stop thinking about it 

This is a part of Akhutai Khatayin’s story. I have not written a story for many years now, so please bare with the lackluster writing. I prefer not to receive feedback unless you know me really well. This story contains headcanons about a sub-segment of the Khatayin tribe, descriptions of their culture is not intended for universal use. Trigger warnings: Death, implied slavery, implied violence.   Suggested music: Any song from Two Steps From Hell - Miracles album.

In the spirit of Samhain which comes ever so close, here is a list of stones you can use to help you connect, channel, and feel your ancestors and loved ones on the otherside.

1. Amber

Amber is neither a stone nor a mineral. It is a resin that oozed from prehistoric forests millions of years ago. Sometimes, encased inside are insects and even small animals, preserved through the ages as they were when they were alive. Because of this, amber is a stone of immortality, of life after death, thus it was often placed inside graves of the deceased to symbolize their eternal life. Use this old, old, resin to connect with ancestors down the ancestral line. Bonus is there is a little critter in yours!

2. Petrified Wood

Fallen trees take a hundred years to petrify. Add that to how old the tree could have been when it fell and you have a good hefty amount of time. In sort, these stone are ancient. Trees already symbolize wisdom, knowledge, and family so using petrified wood to connect to your family tree and reach your roots is perfect. I can’t think of a better stone!

3. Bloodstone

Bloodstone’s link to blood can be traced back to as far as five thousand years ago in ancient Mesopotamia. It has long since been used to help circulation and ailments of the blood. When connecting with our ancestors, our bloodline is an important link to them. The DNA in our blood contains little genetic bits and pieces from those who have come before us. Nothing can be created or destroyed in nature. The DNA in our blood is not new, it has existed since the beginning of time and was passed down to us. Use bloodstone to tap into this, to connect, to travel through the bloodline into your ancestry as far as you would like to go. 

4. Any Quartz with an Upside Down Record Keeper

These little triangles hold information. They hold records of what was and what is. They record the history of earth since the beginning of time. They hold the history of earth creatures, the secrets of our evolution. They are links into the akashic records. Use them to access your heritage, your ancestors and your lost loved ones.

5. Garnet

I chose garnet for a similar reason as I chose the bloodstone. Garnet also has a strong association with blood and it’s also associated with fire and sexuality which gives me strong life vibes. I see using this crystal as a guide to take someone living through their blood into their ancestry.

Bonus

1. Any Stone Shaped into a Skull

Skull shapes are perfect for channeling and connect with ancestors and lost loved one. The shape resembles a human who has gone to the other side. If you have a bloodstone skull, all the better!

2. Anything of Sentimental Value of course!

If you have a necklace or a wallet or something that someone had, it works all the better to connect with that person specifically and to call them to you from the other side.

Another Bonus–Music!

its time! im finishing up my last couple of commissions and i dont wanna miss the milestone so if you’d like a chance at getting a drawing like in the examples above please join the giveaway!
