Seaside Promenade Tavern

The Seaside Promenade Tavern is a tavern and inn located on the Seaside Promenade in Pandeli. It is one of the oldest structures in the city, and was actually the original building that the entire rest of the promenade was built off of.

The tavern itself is built into a massive tree growing out along the central area of the promenade, making the roots and earth around the area stand out compared to the pure, white stone found throughout the rest of the street.

For intro narration, see here.

## The Violantes

Kirkstein Violante was the original founder of the Seaside Promenade. Since its original conception during the later years of the Magellan Era, every successive owner has taken on the family name of Violante, though Kirkstein himself has never had any blood descendants. As one of Pandeli's oldest buildings, it has played a major role in its development into the large trade center it is today, and is recognized by Kepia as a historical heritage site.

The current owners are Gerolt and Dorthy Violante, both of whom possess large amounts of political influence in Pandeli.

## Historical Significance

The Seaside Promenade has existed since the original founding of Pandeli, and has thus been present for all of its major historical moments. The tavern itself is significant due to its role as a major location for a number of historical events:

* The base of operations for the Sacred Band, who used it as a rest point in between ventures into the Broken Lands.
* The site of the final duel between Gharel Magellan and Siviar Keejeck.
* The location where the Elder Families created the document announcing the creation of the nation of Kepia.
* The final defense point of Pandeli during the Vensin Sieges.

She tells Kaitlin and Jordan they’ve gained weight. They had to put Meagan in three pairs of shorts yesterday. They don’t have that liberty to gain. They are all going on weight probation until they get this extra stuff off. She points to Stephanie and tells her she’s not on the squad yet, so the others have the benefit of having experience with them and trust with them. Stephanie doesn’t have that with them. They all know what they’ve got to do. She then tells them they’ve got worse conversations to have later that night with the other candidates in the office.

## **Commentary**

### **Season 3**

**(3.3)**

* Erica, your routine was artistic, creative, but you were so underdressed, and it looked like you were covering your body, which made the judges think you were hiding something. Which you have gained weight. All of that made the judges think, “What’s going on?” If you don’t get some of your weight off that the judges saw, I’m not gonna defend it.  – K
* *Shown during Judy’s final confessional about the girls warned that night needing to improve.*

### **Season 3**

**(3.3)**

* [Fourth out of four] Kelli says she was the lowest scoring veteran at auditions. Some people didn’t appreciate her routine, but that’s not gonna make or break you making the squad. What she thinks concerned most of the judges was weight gain. She’s 10 or 11 pounds heavier than when she auditioned last year. Erica says she’s a fluctuator and it’s already going back down. Kelli says her body fat percentage is the highest. [*Tears go down Erica’s face*] Kelli says she looks like she’s real pissed off. [*Crying*] Erica says she really just offended that they didn’t like her solo. Kelli says that’s not the bigger concern. She had eight judges say yes, three say no, and one say maybe, and she promises it was more weight. Erica says she’s just really broken down about the fact that she came in the lowest. Kelli says she’s kind of getting a sour attitude from her, and they can’t go that way either. She has to get past this and go on. The five cut veterans would kill to have had eight yeses. She thinks they all need to go home and just process this. [*Erica leaves*] Kelli says she’s concerned about her attitude to be honest. Judy says she’s usually never like that unless she’s so angry about something. Kelli says she may need to take the anger somewhere else because they’ve got training camp to hold.

Jennifer McMahon

* She is 23 years old and from Oregon. When she lived in Oregon, she grew up around horses [*she is riding a horse for the biography*]. Riding is an escape from stress, because when you’re on your horse, it’s just you and them, and it’s very relaxing. As soon as she could sit up, she started riding a horse. She did lead line on my pony. She started competitively doing it when she was 11. She was a champion barrel racer for many years. She won lots of money, horse trailers, saddles, belt buckles, all kinds of stuff. She says it takes a lot of dedication to be a champion – to be the best, you have to give everything that you have. She’s been preparing by taking dance classes and working out and making sure that her hair is done and her nails are done, and that she’s looking right. She’s been a champion in barrel racing, and she thinks she can take her experiences from that and put it towards becoming a DCC.

Jennifer Mosley

~Comments from an interview during the 2016 auditions~

* “My time as a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader, especially my first year was so great that I still dream about it,” she continued. “That’s what brought me back today, it’s exactly 20 years from when I auditioned for the first time and made the team.”

* (When asked to compare trying out in 1996 versus in 2016) “The process is very similar. Back then, we were in the Stadium Club at Texas Stadium overlooking the field, where now this stadium is very different and, of course, the TV show cameras were not around then,” she said. “I’d say the biggest difference being here at AT&T Stadium is there is more glitz and glamor now. There was a lot then, but there is a ton now. Being 39, I just wanted to be a part of it all again, if only for a day or a weekend and I am proud of myself for doing it.”

* 27 years old and a 4-time United States National Ballroom Dance champion, and wants to be a DCC. When she was 17, was traveling around the country doing competitions, hoping to find an amateur partner her age to dance with. Brought a partner over from Russia, and just clicked despite the language gap. Together, they were fortunate enough to win for US national championships. They dated for much of their partnership, but it could be stressful. Can’t take problems on the dance floor back home, and vice versa. They split up, and she realized she’d given everything up for ballroom dancing, including family, friends, and her life. Everything in life was ballroom, and she realized that she didn’t still want to be a ballroom dancer 20 years from now, living along with cats and dogs. Her ballroom teacher always said if you start feeling comfortable, to move on and try something else. Want to become a DCC because they are the best of the best. Being someone fortunate enough to be the best ballroom dancer in the country, you strive for that. She sees that goal and wants to reach it.

* What happens when I see my number on the board? Some kind of ballroom move, probably. [Does a little dance]
* My number’s not on the board. I guess it just wasn’t meant to be for me this year. I’ve always pretty much won, so this is a pretty big shock for me.

Parishioner's Faith (Potion)

Parishioner's Faith is a class 1 potion found in the catalog. It is an offensive potion that explodes upon coming in contact with air. The potion itself is a necklace, and is meant to be thrown like a bomb.

## In Battle

Upon being shattered, the liquid contents inside will instantly evaporate, dispersing outwards with explosive force. It covers a circle of radius 20 ft, and will deal 5d6 worth of damage to all creatures within the circle. If undead, then the 5d6 become 5d12.

## Brewing

The primary ingredient used in Parishioner's Faith is Hibrovain vine. Parishioner's Faith is simply an infusion of the vine with radiant magic.

* This is the day that I begin my journey to become a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader
* Auditions are about to start, and I’m number 19, so I get to go in the fourth group, so I kind of just want to get out there and get dancing.
* I’ll be here tomorrow at semifinals.
* I’m a little worried that I messed up on the very first one. I really, really, really, really, really want to come back to finals and show them that I can be a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader.
* After I messed up in the beginning, I just tried to make every movement as big as possible just so they could see that I really could do the dance well.
* If I wasn’t picked to go to the finals, I’d be devastated. But I think I have the energy and the look that they’re looking for, so hopefully they’ll want to see a little bit more of me.
* I was the last name called, so I was a little emotional because I thought I didn’t make it, but I did and I’m excited now, so I’m going to finals.

**(5.2)**

* It is two days before finals. We are at Kitty Carter’s dance studio. She is going to be critiquing us on our solos and our combinations that we learned at semifinals. I’m a little bit nervous because I’ve heard she’s a little bit blunt, but I’m excited.
* It’s a little bit nerve-wracking, being around the vets, but we’re all here competing for the spots together, so I think they’re just as nervous as we are.
* I am extremely happy with the way my solo went. I think it was the best performance I’ve ever done.
* I put everything out there. I performed my best, so hopefully they noticed that.
* [Not invited to training camp] You can do your best, but sometimes you’re just not the right person for the team. I would definitely come back. I made it this far this year, so hopefully next year I can make it even further.

* Kaleigh and Claire, you two here, it’s almost like you’re timid. There’s nothing wrong that you’re doing, you just need to kind of find it and make it your own. Now that you’ve gotten these jitters out of your way, you can play with style a little bit. – Melissa Rycroft

Elizabeth (S10 Rookie)

* [Joint biography with Maddie] Maddie says she’s roommates with Elizabeth, and they’re living together with a family friend. Elizabeth says that the two of them met right after their numbers were called for training camp. She just finished her fourth season as an Oakland Raiderette. She’s sacrificed a lot: she’s quit her job, left her family and friends behind, moving to Texas to chase this dream. She thinks the criticism that Kelli and Judy give may be brutal. Madeline says that fifty dances is a lot to learn in one summer. Elizabeth says that being able to take the criticism and being mentally tough will be the biggest challenge.

Keyna (S14 Preliminaries)

* 41-years-old from California. She’s been performing since she was a young girl. She cheered for the San Diego Chargers when she was 25 years old, but knew there was something greater she had to audition for. She decided to try out for the DCC in 2004. She was a finalist, but did not make training camp. Judy had asked her if she’d come back if she didn’t make the team, and she had said “yes,” but life happens. She met her husband, had two children, and got her doctorate, so she didn’t have the opportunity to come back. However, her love for dance kept nagging at her. Her father would tell her to take advantage of opportunities while she could. She ended up moving to Texas, and thought it would be nice to tryout again 15 years later and make good on her promise. She doesn’t think anyone should stop doing anything because of age, so she’s going for it. She’s excited to show Judy and Kelli what she’s got, and to do her best.

### **Season 14**

**(14.1)**

* We packed the kids in the car about 2:00 AM, hit the road from Houston, and we’re here bright and early. I am ready to go.
* Biography
* I just felt almost like a time machine. I felt like I was in my 20s and 30s again. Everybody has been so nice and sweet.
* I hope Judy likes what she saw and remembers me. If not, then I hope I jogged her memory a little bit out there.
* I did not make the board, but I was able to check this off my bucket list. I’m excited to be able to show my children that they can follow their dreams regardless.

## **Commentary**

### **Season 14**

**(14.1)**

* She doesn’t look 40. – J
* [Preliminaries judging] A check on showmanship, and I gave her a maybe. – K/ I gave her a yes only because I was so impressed with her age. She moved well, and she looked good. – J
* Keyna was real interesting today. She’s over 40. She’s in great shape. But I don’t know if she’s going to be able to compete at this level.
* [Not invited to semifinals] I gave her a “yes” today. She danced well and she gave it her all, and I was really proud of her.

Raingarde

The Raingarde is a military organization serving as an elite unit under the Kepian government. Alongside gaining membership into the Alexo Family, being recruited into the Raingarde is generally considered the highest military achievement one can get in Kepia.

Where as the Alexos serve as direct guards to Kepian Royalty, thus acting as the shield of the nation, the Raingarde act as the primary military force serving the King, acting as the sword of the nation. The Raingarde are typically sent out into the rest of Kepia to quell any sort of trouble that local enforcement can't deal with on their own.

## Divisions

Raingarde divisions are small, typically consisting of five to seven people. Though any individual division can easily pull its own weight in battle, they are primarily meant to lead, often taking over officer positions from other military units in times of emergency.

Divison 1: The Uncrowned

Division 2: Manahem's Mechanics
Candice Cook

* I love the kicks. I had fun with the kicks. I try to show my peppiness.

* Right now, we are waiting for the judges’ deliberation. For me, hopefully, it’s a positive one. I’m very, very nervous. This is probably the most nervous I’ve ever been.

* [Waiting for semifinals results] I’m scared. I’m afraid I might go home, but you just got to think positive, and, whatever happens, you know, it’s meant to be.

* [Not invited to finals] Right now, I’m a little sad because I didn’t make it to finals, and last year I made it to finals. So, you know, it happens.
