RULES
Please be nice or you'll make Chuck drink.
Our community conduct rules are, boiled down to their base form, simple. Observe common sense, and treat others with basic decency and respect, and you will be welcomed with open arms.Due to themes present in our community (roleplaying of mature themes such as murder and violence, as pirates and their ilk are wont to do), we request that players present be 18 years of age or older.
A less condensed version of our rules, our code of conduct, and what we seek from our community is the following.We expect those who enter our community to treat others, regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, sexuality, etc. with dignity, respect and kindness. Our community is filled with people from all walks of life, and our staff team has LGBT BIPOC on it. We will not tolerate racism, pedophilia, bigotry or other subjects.We have zero tolerance for harassment of any kind. If you are known for engaging in harassing behaviors - bullying, stalking, anything that falls under common sense definition of "harassing" - harassment campaigns, bullying and general undesirable behaviors, you will not be welcomed in this community. We will not hesitate to ban individuals who act in ways that threaten the good nature and camaraderie of our community, and we will not hesitate to remove harmful individuals' ability to access our community members.We follow a general three strike rule for non-threatening misbehaviors, and we do not rescind bans. While we believe that individuals can learn and grow past their toxic behaviors, they can do so away from our community.

Activities
- Gift bouquets with special messages! Speak with the partnered florist, Bellista Digrea, to send a bouquet of flowers to your loved one(s). The flowers may be sent with a short message. For the first hour of the ball, the florist will be located at the bottom of the stairs on the flower balcony, to take requests. At the end of the first hour and through the second hour, the florist will deliver the orders.
- Catered dining buffet experience! A spread upstairs is laid out, with warm foods kept to temperature with carefully arranged fire shards and crystals, and cold foods kept safely with ice shards and crystals. Seating is dispersed and more intimately placed to allow friends and couples privacy to speak of their feelings while they enjoy their meal.
- Social mixer and dance! Sit and chat with others, or dance together and mingle. The ballroom downstairs is kept open, with seating arranged to the sides and near the back of the room to keep the floor open for dancers to enjoy. For the social mixer, participants are encouraged to try Two Truths and a Tale to get to know one another better.
- Dance Partner Swap! Those who wish to swap dance partners will be asked to use looking for party after the first hour of the ball. The names of all individuals who are using looking for party during the dancer swap will then be collected and drawn at random. Dancers will be privately given, out of character, the names of their swap-partner and will be given the opportunities to write their "cut-in" dance.
- Vote for the Crowned Royal Couple! At the start of the ball individuals who wish to be named Crowned Royal Couple will be nominated. At end of the third hour, participants of the dance will be asked to "vote" for the Crowned Royal Couple. Canonically there will be a ballot-box upstairs for the voting process. The two (or more, for love comes in all forms) characters who receive the most votes will be voted the Crowned Royal Couple.
Sea Dogs Soiree Staff
Catered Buffet Menu
- Roasted Rolanberry Braised Boar. Roasted boar tenderloin is smothered in a sweet and spicy rolanberry ginger glaze. Red pepper flakes, garlic, ginger, salt and pepper combine to create a simple but flavorful medley of seasoning. The rolanberry ginger glaze is thick, sweet, and a perfect accompaniment.
- Orzo Rice Pilaf (Vegetarian) Fluffy rice and golden-toasted orzo simmered in a savory buttered broth with garlic and onions, creating a tender, aromatic side dish with delicate nutty depth. Light yet comforting, each forkful delivers warm, buttery flavor and perfectly balanced texture.
- Bluebell Salmon in a Sun-dried Dzemael Tomato, Parmesan, and Garlic Cream Sauce. The salmon is buttery-soft, juicy, succulent, and gloriously flavorful, thanks to a light dredging in seasoned flour before being nestled in the luscious Parmesan cream sauce spiked with both tangy sun-dried dzemael tomatoes and sweet, bursting cherry-variety Dzemael tomatoes. The sauce is lightened with chicken broth and cornstarch, along with heavy cream.
- Cheese platter. A variety of imported cheeses such as Garlean Cheese, Othardian sheepsmilk Oscypek, aldgoat brie, Lominsan pecorino and others.
- Fruit platter. A variety of imported and locally sourced fruits such as sliced branchbearer fruits, diced megamaguey pineapples, rolanberries, naval oranges, lowland grapes, faerie apples, persimmons, dried coconut, bloodcurrants and others.

Catered Buffet Menu (Desserts)
- Hot Chili Pepper Truffles. Decadent dark chocolate truffles infused with a subtle chili pepper heat that blooms gently on the palate. Silky, rich, and intriguingly bold, each bite balances deep cocoa intensity with a warm, lingering spice for a luxurious, slow-burning indulgence.
-Multi-layer Rolanberry and Vanilla Swirl Devil's Food Cake. Deep, dark chocolate cake layered to perfection, boasting an ultra-moist crumb and rich cocoa intensity. Finished with luscious white chocolate frosting swirled with rolanberry and vanilla beans, this decadent classic is velvety, indulgent, and irresistibly sinful in every forkful.
- Sweetheart Lemon-Lime Cake. A tender, buttery cake infused with bright lemon and zesty lime, layered with silky citrus frosting for a refreshingly sweet finish, and shaped into a heart lined with fresh raspberries, finished with a dusting of powdered sugar. Light, vibrant, and irresistibly cheerful, each slice delivers sunlit citrus flavor with soft, melt-in-your-mouth crumb.
- White Chocolate Rolanberry Cupcakes. Fluffy rolanberry-kissed cupcakes studded with creamy white chocolate and crowned with luscious white chocolate-dipped rolanberry. Sweet, fruity, and decadently smooth, each bite melts with berry brightness and velvety cocoa butter richness.
- - Candied cherry white chocolate cookies. An assortment of sugar cookies and shortbread cookies mixed with candied cherries and white chocolate chips. The kukuru butter is slightly browned before being added, making for an indulgent bite.
Catered Buffet Menu (Specialty Alcohols&Spirits)
Mixed beverages come in pre-bottled varieties that can be self-poured.
Purgatory Specialty Drinks
- Pirate's Pleasure. 150-proof rum, spiced rum, pineapple and orange juice to please your palette! Garnished with a pineapple wedge and cherry for a sweetness that makes this a dangerous drink.
- Ocean Water. A refreshing blend of coconut rum, blue curacao, coconut water, and pineapple juice. Poured on ice with gummy fish. A perfect way to beat the heat!
-Salty Dog. Vodka and grapefruit juice shaken and poured over ice in a salt-rimmed glass. Garnished with a grapefruit wedge and spring of fresh rosemary, it's as salty as the sea, and tart for a sour kick.
-Shipwrecked. Coconut and dark rums, melon liqueur and pineapple juice, blended with crushed ice. Garnished with a pineapple wedge and fresh mint, it's a good way to drown your sorrows.
-Sunburn. Tequila, triple sec, and cranberry juice with a lemon twist garnish. It's the enemy of every pale-skinned soul far and wide. But, no worries, this drink won't require sunblock.

Purgatory
La Noscean Pirate Group
The story of Puragatory is a long and storied one. Originally hosted on Gilgamesh, it was a haven for pirates and sailors alike, nestled in Shirogane. This sanctuary was also the headquarters of Saints & Sinners, a rag-tag group of pirates with a theme set around the seven deadly sins. It was a successful venture for many, many years. Over time, Saints & Sinners has been in many more places-- Mateus, Balmung, and now Kraken. The group has waxed and waned, and now with a fresh restart, we're hoping to see it grow once again. A safe place for all, LGBTQ+ and POC inclusive.
Viv'aa Vim'aa
Amalj'aa-themed Fusion Eatery
Viv'aa Vim'aa is an immersive role-playing venue, taking the form of a restaurant, situated on the outskirts of Gridania, serving food from Escher's native Sagolii desert and the wider Thanalan area beyond. The menu contains a range of authentic dishes as well as some original creations inspired by the ingredients of the area. As well as being an enjoyable dining experience, Escher hopes to spread awareness of the culture of the people who raised him - the Amalj'aa - through the sharing of their food.
GinGa Onsen
Onsen and Eatery
Nestled along the winding path which leads from the Ruby Sea to Yanxia stands an elegant building, built in the Hingan style and topped with dark red tiles. Large trees cover much of the garden but yet the branches leave open an inviting path to the front door, the smell of steaming hot springs and freshly-made food wafting in the wind.
