Festival of the Fallen is a memorial event in [[Ta'Vaalor]] where those that have fallen in Battles tied to the House of Ta'Vaalor, its city, and City-State are honored by a Colosseum-based tournament.  This year, there are three tournaments whereby competitors compete to be the last man standing one-on-one combat.  There are raffles, merchants, and some services throughout the festival.

|11/24/2024 || 12:15 PM ||[Inner Walkway, Blacksmith] (14020203) ||6x enchanted<br> a gold-accented vaalorn longsword dyed crimson <br> Decorative and functional, the longsword is crafted of vaalorn and dyed deep crimson though its fuller is artistically left a natural silvery luster.  Rising above the quillion block, an elegantly wrought wyvern in gold forms the knuckle guard, arm branches, and counter guards.  Its sinuous body arcs from the feystone button at the top of the shield-incised pommel, past the lasimor grip, and across the riccasso, its tail curling around the blade.  Flared wings, with a downward dip, decorate the quillions.
|-
|11/24/2024 || 12:20 PM || [Inner Walkway, Tavern] (14020202) ||6x enchanted<br>a sinuous wyvern-carved glowbark longbow strung in crimson catgut <br> Carved from a single limb of glowbark, the longbow takes on an artistic representation of a wyvern in flight.  Blazestar eyes decorate the intricately carved head at the upper limb, the string groove wrought to resemble a closed serpentine mouth clasping the bow string.  The opposing limb is shaped like the beast's tail, its heart-shaped tip culminating in the final string groove.   The grip is protected by stylized wings in vaalorn.  Subtle dye patterns throughout create a crimson-scaled appearance.
|-
|11/24/2024 || 12:25 PM || [Inner Walkway, Bonfire] (14020204) ||6x enchanted<br> a wyvern-winged vaalorn halberd bound to a lasimor haft<br> Stylized wings fashioned of vaalorn rise from the lasimor haft of the halberd to form the intricately carved axe-head.  Damascened designs stretch across the blade, creating a mottled red appearance that resembles stylized scales.  The langet is molded to appear like the body of a wyvern, its limbs encircling the haft, while its sinuous neck stretches upward to create the corresponding spike.  Beneath the blade, a piece of aqilorn wraps about the wood as a decorative and functional blood scarf.
