VENUE RULES & GUIDELINES

《 please read, review, and follow accordingly! 》

※ intended Audience —

For the comfort and preference ourselves, our staff, and the fact that our venue caters to more mature themes, our normal venue nights are only for individuals 18+ years of age, IC & OOC. This goes for both The Ledgermain Lounge & Standing Room Only.

※ IC ≠ OOC —

Character actions and opinions are not reflective of the writer's. Please do not use IC actions as justification for OOC conflict, and when in doubt— pause and check in.

※ Consent is Key —

Tying in with our over arcing theme of respect, please respect everyone's boundaries. RPing tropes like metagaming and godmodding are not welcome here but in addition to that please heed when someone says they do not like something or do not wish to engage with said behavior. Ask first before throwing someone else's character into the middle of a situation. This extends to public conversation about private activity.Please bear in mind that our events are open to the public and that divulging information that is best kept to a small group is not the way.

※ Weapons & Minions —

We ask that everyone stow their weapons and dismiss their minions upon entry. ICly the Canto has a strict no weapons policy as it is liable to upset the atmosphere to have swords and pets both strewn about, but on an OOC level this is to help cut down on strain for older computers and consoles.

※ Self Promotion —

We absolutely love to give attention to our friends and affiliates but please ask before promoting something in the midst of one of our events or in our discord. This practice is considered bad manners and in many cases detracts from the event at hand. This does not mean mentioning another event in conversation but rather the deliberate statement of garnering interest and attraction—especially if it is an event that takes place at conflicting times to our own.If you are a performer seeking to promote your next gig, please say so in your sign up sheet! We would love you shout you out!

※ RP Goods & Services —

Any cost listed for any of our items is IC gil only. We do not require actual payment of any of our goods and services. Wine prices are listed purely as an immersive way for us to track our RP business offerings and while you may be traded an item this act is for immersion only. You are under no obligation to hand over actual gil for anything.That being said, you are welcome to show your appreciation for our staff by tipping them.

※ Conflict & Conduct —

We strive for a venue that is both casual and refined, with a simply low-stakes elegance to it and as such is not the place for a bar brawl. We ask that you reserve that behavior for the vast number of locales where this is a draw and feature.If you have a disagreement, please take it elsewhere— do not hash it out in the middle of one of our events. You will be asked to leave by our security team and further refusal will result in a report being made to the FFXIV GMs.We ask that any flirtatious behavior be kept to a certain level of politeness: if you would be arrested for getting caught for it in a movie theatre or a restaurant, this is not the time or place for that activity.

※ On The Topic of Illicit Activity —

On paper, we are not a neutral ground. Please do not openly discuss matters that may be construed as violations of law or you may be subject to IC consequences. The Maelstrom are literally up the road, it is extremely unwise to talk so openly about such matters at a public event.Should you wish to discuss matters in a less public setting please keep conversation to party chat, speak to one of our Hosts to be escorted to one of our private rooms, or take your conversation outside!

※ OOC Chatter & Event Disruption —

Listen, we're all here for a good time and we love to make jokes and nods to our friends in our goings on. But when we are in a room with dozens of people it can make already overwhelming chat scroll unbearable. We ask that you keep OOC commentary or chatter to a minimum at events and if it is found to be too disruptive we may as you to cease it entirely.Failure to comply with this will result in you being asked to leave and potentially barred from future events.

food

  • CHARCUTERIE PLATE — Famous Wineport cured ham, housemade sausages, and local cheeses are all assembled on a Noscean Oak slab, along with bountiful accouterments - including housemade jams and preserves, cornichons, dried fruit, sliced baguette, and a fougasse to share. Pairs well with most wines or cocktails.

  • SAMOSAS — Served in a woven Hannish basket, one of Rhaya's own recipes. Served with a spiced popoto filling with onions and peas, fried up in a thin pastry shell. Served with a trio of chutneys to dip. We would recommend a very full bodied white wine to pair with this, such as our Viognier, or even one of our medium reds - Malbec or Gamay.

  • GOUGERES — A favorite of Egrine’s; chou pastry is mixed with cheese and then baked up into puffs. A simple treat shared at a table - pairs very well with almost all of our wines.

  • SALMON TARTINE — A classic finger sandwich of garlic toasted sourdough bread, crème fraiche, house smoked salmon, and paper thin slices of cucumber. Garnished with fresh dill - served four to a plate. A drier white wine would pair best with this rich finger sandwich, such as our Muscadet.

  • STEAK FRITES — Grilled skirt steak is served up medium rare, sliced thinly and paired with crunchy fried popotoes. A La Noscean staple, pared down to a small plate serving. Easily shareable. Pairs very well with our Shiraz, or even the Widow Reserve.

  • STONEFRUIT GALETTE — Served hot tableside in a personal cast iron skillet, crumbly pastry shell is filled with fresh peaches and cherries, topped with a port wine sabayon. A sweet finish to your night at the Ledgermain. We recommend a glass of the Snowcloak reserve for this dish, or even a nip of Calvados to bring a little tart sweetness to the party.

Standing Room Only

《 off menu items available at the leisure of the barstaff—give them a challenge 》

seasonal special

  • SPICED PUMPKIN FLIP — We welcome the autumn with this classic flavour! Pumpkin in two forms - ale and butter - make this creamy beverage a must have by all pumpkin enthusiasts. Mixed with bourbon and sweet amaretto, a whole egg gives this full-bodied concoction a silky effervescence. SPICE IT UP - add a few drops of Navigator's Gale for a little extra flavour!

《 local beers and non alcoholic beverages available at request 》

cocktails

  • WINEPORT SOUR —A classic whiskey sour with a vintner’s twist. Lemon juice, Buscarron’s Bourbon, and egg white are shaken into a frothy sour and served in a double old fashioned glass with ice. A float of the Canto’s own Shiraz adds a layer of dry red wine to contrast with the bright drink beneath. Garnished with a Maraschino cherry and twist of lemon peel.

  • THE FINANCIER — For those of you who want something a little more subtle, you may find more enjoyment in a cocktail made for our accountant’s palate. Cieldalaes White Rum, Dry Curaçao, the Canto’s Thanalan Dry blanco vermouth, and a dash of sangria are shaken together into a sweet, easy to drink cocktail. Served up in a coupe glass and garnished with a twist of orange peel.

  • FUOCO E SANGUE — An otherworldly drink made with our new "Ruby Tithe" carmine amaro. This sparkling cocktail combines Ruby Tithe with our Antica Rosso vermouth and a splash of sparkling wine. Served up in a champagne flute with a twist of orange peel, you'll be asking for it everywhere... with Prosecco!

EVENTS

《 evenings is when the canto comes alive, both upstairs and down 》

Special Events

《 harvest festivals, outdoor dining, and more! 》

The Ledgermain Lounge

《 upstairs, the grand foyer stands regal and inviting... 》

The Palazzo Aldenard once sported a great many old rooms, unused for quite some time. One such dusty room was a small lounge bar on the formerly blocked off second floor of the building. One of the first rooms to be renovated, and serves now as the home of the Canto’s own Ledgermain Lounge.The Lounge features a Canto twist on several popular local cocktails, each featuring spirits from local distilleries, vermouth from Bel Canto Vineyards, and Wineport wines. We also feature a local menu of small plates and charcuterie, offering our patrons a true taste of the La Noscean Riviera.The Ledgermain Lounge at the Canto is our formal venue.Cocktail attire requested.

Standing ROom Only

《 in the basement amongst the barrels is an old stage... 》

Tucked into the back corner of the Canto’s own wine cellarage is a little stage, surrounded by barrels, racks of wine, and drums of distillate. It’s what remains of the Palazzo Aldenard’s former grand stage — an homage not only to the building that Bel Canto Vineyards now inhabits as its headquarters, but as a nod to the owners’ passion and former careers working in performing arts.Not ones to let things go to waste, Rhaya and Egrine decided the stage could be used as a home for performers from far and wide to offer a sampling of their art where the Vineyard bottles its own.I’m afraid you won’t find the Palazzo’s stadium seating around this stage, nor will you find the tables and chairs once famously used to seat the patrons of Tempo Rubato. This exclusive little venue is Standing Room Only.

Seeking a venue for a private event? Outside of our regular business hours The Canto is available for anyone seeking space for an event—be it an FC outing, party, performance, or anything else! If you would like to rent our space, feel free to DM one of the proprietors. We would love to work with you!

𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑭𝑰𝑵𝑬𝑹 𝑫𝑬𝑻𝑨𝑰𝑳𝑺 — We're excited for you to join us on the Canto lawn for the Bel Canto's 2nd Anniversary Picnic! Feel free to wander about - perhaps grab a refreshing drink of our special menu from the bar or pick some delightful snacks to picnic around the lawn...or perhaps you wish to try your hand at a number feats sure to give you something to talk about ;)We do of course have cafe seating just around the corner for those that are looking for a more traditional Canto evening. Thank you for joining us! We're so glad you could come!Please be sure to stow all weapons and keep /yell clear for staff announcements!

FEAT OF STRENGTH — ARM WRASSLIN'

《 event runner — OTOLIN STONE 》

More than a handshake, less than a hug! You might know him as one of two of the Canto's friendliest Security (and Standin Room Only's hypeman) but Mr. Stone has promised to take it easy on challengers. Ready to buff or burst your ego?

𝑶𝑩𝑱𝑬𝑪𝑻𝑰𝑽𝑬 — This is a game of HIGH, LOW, HIGH. Both players will roll the in game dice using /random — the one who rolls the highest, then the lowest, then the highest best 2 out of 3 is named the winner.As this is an RP event please try to make a reaction post for each section — think of this like a dance!

FEAT OF STRENGTH — TUG O WAR

《 event runner — YELLOW ROSE 》

Think you've got what it takes? Wanna impress your date? How about a little team bonding? You and two friends may try your hardest to wrangle the rope out of Yellow Rose's capable hands but we'll warn you. She's had a lot of practice and she's Very Good at this.

𝑶𝑩𝑱𝑬𝑪𝑻𝑰𝑽𝑬 — This is a game of CUMULATIVE SCORING 1v3 game played with 1-3 PLAYERS. Each player will get one /random each to try to rack up enough of a score to pull the rope marker across the winner's line. For each player particpating the EVENT RUNNER will roll their own competing score. The side with the highest score wins!Should you wish to brazenly take this task on yourself both sides will roll twice. YOU will take the lower number, the EVENT RUNNER will take the higher number — what, did you think we'd make this easy?

FEAT OF SKILL — THE HIGH JUMP

《 event runner — BREANDAN DUCAILLE 》

It's like limbo, but in reverse!

𝑶𝑩𝑱𝑬𝑪𝑻𝑰𝑽𝑬 — This is a game of RAISING STAKES. Participants will approach the "bar" and /random. In order to be successful as the bar is raised higher and higher you must beat a score of 200, then 400, then 600, then 800, then 995...all while being looking on upon by one of Ishgard's very own. If you can manage to leap over the tippy top perhaps you should be thinking about a career in Jumping Good.

FEAT OF SKILL — HORSEBIRD FOR HIRE

《 event runner — Z'MHATI ZHELI 》

You'd best sign that waiver first. Madame Fugorier's prized Chocobo is an ornery one; and to this date no one outside of herself has been able to stay seated for long— it's time that changed. Wrangled by the Bel Canto's resident Cowboy Catte for the evening we invite you to try your hand. He needs to learn some manners sometime—the bird, not the cowboy. We're serious about that waiver.

𝑶𝑩𝑱𝑬𝑪𝑻𝑰𝑽𝑬 — This is a game of BEST ROLL WINS. You will have three tries to best the EVENT RUNNER in order to stay on the back of the Chocobo. That's it! After each roll both you and the event runner will write your posts, then /random again. Should you fail to roll higher than the event runner you will find yourself very swiftly deposited onto the ground. Don't worry! We've laid out enough hay to prevent any lasting woes. Please be available to join the Event Runner's party in order to ride Pillion!

While still a warming drink for cold nights, lime features strongly as a nod to the dangers faced by our Sailors - mixed with our own rich Navigator's Gale amaro, Cieldalaes Rum, lime juice, grenadine, and De Nevelle Bitters, this drink should give any explorer the respite they need.

  • HIGH ELEVATION — This lovely winter favorite evokes the snow cap that forms around the rim of O'ghomoro in the dead of the La Noscean winter. Local Wineport Sherry wine is shaken with a housemade nutmeg spiced syrup and egg whites to make a creamy, snowcapped delight that satisfies a patron looking for something with low alcohol. Bright, fruity sherry and nutmeg reminds us of Starlight pies! Served in a Copita glass with a dash of nutmeg.

  • SHORE LEAVE — Local La Noscean rye features in in this cocktail, with a dash of dry orange curacao, and our house Fernet-Palazzo amaro. A bitter, bracing cocktail not for the faint of heart - crafted with the thoughts of Maelstrom sailors in mind, on holiday shore leave in a far off port, looking for a reminder of home. Served in a Coupe glass, with a twist of orange peel.

  • VINEYARD FROST — A house favorite, this wine sour has a creamy, rounded palate with a berry finish that reminds of rolanberry jam brought up from the winter larder. Canto Ruby Port is mixed with La Noscean Rye, lemon juice, and demerara syrup, and shaken up. Served in a Nick and Nora glass, with a few drops of Navigator's Gale swirled into the foamy head of the drink for garnish.
