Action by Cambria
As Ostria is a city-state within the Lyceum, House Mazetti is not one to ignore the celebration of the Thirteenth's feast day, the Eclipse of Mirrors. For an entire week, House Mazetti provides funds so that its citizens may enjoy feasts and revelry in line with Lycene taste and style, which is to say it is very likely over the top and quite daring. Due to its popularity, a Mirror's Masquerade is also held on the night of the blood moon itself, so that all might engage in a dance with the dark god himself.
Yet this is not all. In the days following the Eclipse of Mirrors (to give party-goers a respite, you see!), House Mazetti in conjunction with members of the Faith overseeing things in Ostria, organize a city-wide rededication to all the gods, those new and old, of the Pantheon. The goal is to reaffirm and re-energize the spiritual health of all those who call Ostria home.
Action by Hadrian
Hadrian Mazetti, Marquis-Consort of Ostria, is there to support both his House and his new people in their endeavor of rededication to the gods - old and new. He's there to give speeches and sip wine, and he's all out of wine. Rousing speeches, inspiring words, the past has been quite unfair to House Mazetti, the future is now, together greatness awaits! Have Faith in the Pantheon, but forget not what makes us Lycene. Do not shy away from the difficult paths and choices, embrace them as the challenges they are, embrace yourselves and one another!
When the parties begin, Hadrian's prepared to mix it up there too. A well-versed politician alone, he is not. He knows how to have a good time, as he's proven time and time again. Putting up some of his own means to make them memorable and altogether enjoyable for the people of Ostria, as well as himself.
Alongside the Faith he will be there to promote bringing the Faith and House Mazetti closer to one another, in both action and prayer. Further fomenting the working relationship between the faithful and the rulers of Ostria, while paying homage to the gods who so rightfully deserve the praise of the people. The goal being to create a positive experience for citizens and visitors to the Walled City by the Sea alike. Reputation means a great deal in the political and social world, so a memorable and positive reputation it shall be. Hopefully.
Action by Orazio(RIP)
Orazio will be supporting Mazetti's action by writing to the members of the Faith and encouraging them to work with the Marquessa in this, as well as making sure proper supplies are allocated for Ostria for a dedication of this scope.
Result
Ostria has one of the most spectacular Mirror's Masquerades in the Lyceum, and travelers from Tor and Southport flock to the smaller city-state that swells with revelers. Following the Mirror's Masquerade, the rededication to the rest of the Pantheon led by Orazio goes extremely well. There's a noticeable uptick in laity joining discipleships, and pilgrims from the Oathlands come visit Ostria to take part in the days following the more frowned upon Mirror's Masquerade, to presumably help the godless Lycene get back on the right track. Ostria, being strategically positioned close to the Oathlands, benefits a great deal from warmer relations with the Oathlands as a result- Lycene being Lycene, deals of course happen during the religious celebrations that happen, and trade sees an upswing.
On a sadder note, one of the senior templar commanders in Ostria, a godsworn named Sir Francisco Durant, was killed resisting arrest when it was discovered he was complicit with the Seraph of Gemecitta and involved in the White Stewards. Thus far, no other servants have been found.
