But when she ventured on a trade expedition to the Western Sea, her ship was lost to a thunderstorm. Monarchs of Terinthia are only allowed to reign for 50 years in accordance with tradition. Though all mourn the loss of the Princess, they must crown a new ruler. The Queen has insisted on waiting for the Princess for 5 years, tradition dictates that she must now choose a new heir.

Outfit Planning
-
The Eternal Throne Ball is inspired by the early Victorian era, where candlelit balls took place in great palaces. Where royal guards would pine after princesses, where the courtiers gossiped and where coronations took place. Think of ornate ballgowns and elegant frills. Some great fashion references including Anna Karenina (2012), Cinderella (2015), Sissi (1955), Victoria (2016).
-
