The Sweethearts Soiree has come to a close and the time of love gifts, shadow games, and butterflies bursting from bombs will have to wait for another year. Many came to take part in the various events and prizes of divine coins, shifting figurines, fairy pets and portable beds were given out in great numbers to those who triumphed at sharing their love. Congratulations to all who received one of these very special prizes.

On to what some are waiting impatiently for, the announcement of the winners of our art and literary contests. All of us enjoyed seeing the creativity that came from our love-inspired contest. We will have the winners up for everyone to see at http://www.imperian.com/irex/artbard.

We hope that you all were able to enjoy our events as much as we enjoyed sharing them with you. It is always a great deal of fun for us to see everyone enjoying themselves, and get to speak with many of you personally as we gave out gift baskets or over friendly and sometimes troublesome games of poker. A few new games were also introduced with Memory Match, Arrowtag, and Shadow Lovers, which all seemed to have great feedback. On behalf of all the Demi-gods and everyone else who helped bring these events we thank you for taking part and allowing us to have a great time with you.
