#gilded:talk

A simple flier, distributed to every member and initiate within the society’s ranks, is delivered with the mail one morning. It provides little information, save for a range of dates and the promise of a harvest moon meeting, but its mandatory command was not lost within the simplistic message. 

For long-time members, the save-the-date comes neither as a surprise or a mystery. The Harvest Moon Festival, like the New Moon Ball in the spring, acted as one of the Society’s biannual mandatory meetings with nearly no exceptions granted by the Grand Archon. 

For newer initiates, at least, those without a background understanding regarding the inner traditions of the Society, a single notice jumped out at them from the flier: Be mindful of one specific week in October and for the most important date, in particular, set aside for a mandatory meeting.
