Royal Aderic Banquet

The Royal Aderic Banquet is an event held by Monarchs of Gilneas. These events, formerly hosted every ten years, became more sporadic over time and eventually became an event to be hosted at the monarch's behest. It is traditional for this event to be hosted at least once, typically upon their crowning or some sort of significant event, such as the birth of the royal heir. The event is named for the great Aderic, the patriarch of Gilneas. It is a lavish affair, marked by performances, formal dancing and the grand feast. Invitations to this event are typically made subject to all Gilneas Peerage and it is considered an insult to refuse the invitation (bar circumstance preventing attendance), or to be specifically denied one.
