Phoenix Company would like to extend its gratitude to those invitees who were able to attend the Winter Solstice Masquerade and Fashion Gala. It was a smashing success due to your illustrious presence. Special thanks toCelestiaThe King of Undermountain, Halaster Blackcoat, for conjuring a shower of snow flurries to create a wintery ambience. A certain hin is also grateful because he was able to construct his own personal fortress from the fallen snow. Also special thanks for our guest entertainers, Bryce Sawyer, Iris, Hymly Finch, Kaisi Autumnweaver , and the duo of Rose and Sirion who managed not to stab each other for once.
Congratulations again to our contest winners: Frin was crowned the victor of the Imitation Game for her portrayal of Batibat Kok-Lir Kasdeya. She agreed to not use the proceeds from her winnings to procure toxins and attempt poison the local water again. Jalib and Lilly Kai were crowned Mr. and Mrs. Fabulous. Lilly Kai requested the proceeds of her winning distributed to charity and Jalib requested the proceeds from his winnings donated towards erecting a grand effigy of himself because of course he did.
