Festival of the Fallen 2015

A free festival is coming to the fortress called Festival of the Fallen. The festival will open on Friday, September 18th 2015 and run until around midnight on Sunday, September 20th 2015.

Grand Ball

Toward the conclusion of the festival, there will be a ball, so dress to impress! King Qalinor will be in attendance, so no weapons will be allowed in the pavilion, except those carried by a select few who will be guarding the King closely.

Coliseum

A coliseum has been built in the festival grounds with four practice arenas and one main arena. In the arenas you can fight against each other. A maximum of two people can be in a specific arena at any one time. No spells over level 10 can be used. The cloak of shadows retribution effect will be disabled as well. No taking familiars, animal companions, demons, etc in with you. You have to fight on your own. If someone is already in an arena when you try to enter, you'll be told who is there. Each arena has a viewing room, so people can watch the fights and yell or heckle. If you die in the arena, medics are on-hand to move you to the infirmary and get you cleaned up; let it be noted that you will not lose deeds if you die. You will also be charged a small fee for being tended to by the medical staff. The only compensation you get for killing each other is bragging rights. Any fighting done in the arenas will be considered consensual.

Combatant Selection

Contestants for the grand tournament will be chosen by citizen only raffles in all cities (Ta'Vaalor, Ta'Illistim, Cysaegir, Zul Logoth, Icemule, Solhaven, River's Rest, Kharam Dzu, Wehnimer's Landing, and Mist Harbor). A total of four contestants from each town will be selected to represent their town in the tournament. If four names are not drawn in a town, a new raffle, that is open to everyone, will be set up in that town to fill the remaining slots. We'll announce when and where these raffles will be set up shortly. The raffles are not restricted by level, so players of any level may participate (tournament will not be bracketed by level so enter at your own risk). The top two combatants will be awarded custom post-name titles.

Mini Games

There will be three mini-games, with special prizes that include some unique items and certificates to be redeemed for special services. Any certificate found in the mini-game feeders MUST be redeemed by noon ET on Sunday. Any certificate not redeemed by then will be considered forfeit, and any unclaimed certificate will be distributed before the closing of the festival.

Shops

There will be shops! Not just armor and weapons, but also clothing and magic items as well. We'll leave the specifics on those to the shop owners, if they wish to post about them. There will also be merchants to work on your items.

Events

We have about 20 different items/services that will be going out via raffle or auction, so keep your eyes and ears open!
