October 30th, Year 1056 of the 51st General Calendar.
It was a day like any other, the second-to-last day of a month like any other, with no national or international holidays or celebrations scheduled for the date.
There were also no major events deserving national or international media coverage planned for that day, and everything seemed set for another ordinary day of people going to work and going about their lives as usual.
At least, that was the case until a certain piece of news was released.
At exactly noon on October 30th, a broadcasting channel in Gerfast of the Great Western Empire made an official announcement.
[Marquis of the GWE and leader of the Seven Heroes, Evan Eris, is to be wedded to Vathax Councilman's daughter, Eliza Laneford, on December 30th, Year 1056.]
Following that initial announcement, the news was broadcast in several other countries across the world, and the otherwise ordinary day suddenly became anything but ordinary.
