The Casuana Ball

The Casuana Ball was the first ball held in the current setting. It was hosted, as the name implies, by House Casuana. It was also Casuana's first ball held during Mia Casuana's tenure as lord of the house.

Highlights

 * House Casuana's atrium chandelier was decorated in the house's entire supply of atium. While it was intended to be a display of power, reactions were mixed.
 * A female Steel Inquisitor was in attendance.
 * She was immediately fascinated by Damien Deveaux and his hair. Damien somehow managed to maintain a straight face while answering an Inquisitor's question about his hair care routine.
 * Mia chose to dance the first dance of the night - and many of the rest of them - with Aldwin Tekiel. Their dancing spree ended when they collided with another couple, sending Aldwin sprawling to the floor. He then decided to lie there a while.
 * Lucille Deveaux threw Aldwin into the atrium's fountain after he attempted an aerial stunt with her while dancing.
 * Alistair Casuana challenged Caden Hasting to a duel, but was interrupted by Riordan Casuana's attempts to provoke Caden and draw his attention away from Alistair.
 * This included making lewd remarks about Eliza Fathvell, with whom Caden was dancing before the challenge was issued. This resulted in Eliza punching Riordan in the face.
 * Both men took their shirts off for the duel, much to the glee and/or embarrassment of many of the female spectators.
 * Before the duel could be completed, the keep was lit on fire and the Inquisitor in attendance was challenged by Perrin, a skaa mistborn.
