Lion Head Mesa queen of the morning

to ensure that everything goes smoothly, this thread will be for the royal couple and the priests only. visiting emissaries are encouraged to make RO or open threads that will all be taking place at the same time IC. large group threads can get pretty unwieldy.

akashingo attendees: @Siptah @Makono @Toula @Gucci @Lilitu @Midas @Medusa @Jakoul @Khaba @Tavina @Nazli @Nala
brecheliant visitors: teya & @Sorana
mereo visitors: @Aquene, @Tierra, @Sybol, & @Reyson
kvarsheim visitors: @Taktuq & Bjarna (@Sonja also welcome ofc)

the wedding ceremony itself will be held atop the mesa. there will be a small raised platform where the royal pair can speak, followed by the night's dancing, feasting, and festivities held in the same locale. guests are also encouraged to explore the palace after the ceremony. consider tagging your threads with (wp) wedding party <3

the guests began to arrive earlier in the day. the fellahin were immaculate in their reception, offering refreshments and an escort to the top of the mesa. a raised dais of stone had been covered with lotus flowers, and it was here that pharaoh would induct his bride into divinity.
he himself was in good spirits, laughing, bundled away from @Treva while she and her own attendants prepared in her quarters, rooms to which she would never return. the spacious apartments of the queen would belong to her after this day, kept carefully dusted and refined for such a moment.
as the day grew to afternoon and beyond, a trail of white petals were laid from the path where treva would emerge to the dais itself, and it was here that ramesses took up his stance.
marble and gold, he stood glowing in the light of Ra, the dark kohl around his eyes deepening their blue.
"akashingo welcomes you as guests and emissaries of this moment. another chapter opens in the scroll of akashingo."
his heart ached, but he would not allow grief to sully this day. satsu had danced. he wondered how treva might appear.
"today i marry the queen ascendant. today she becomes divine, a speaker for the gods themselves." and through her would toula and sethnakht achieve the same.
ramesses fixed his gaze upon the place from where treva would come. 
"i am the Morning and the Evening Star. and i welcome the chosen of akashingo to join me now."
behind him he thought he heard the tread of @Senmut and @Akhtar.
