Grand Ball

What would a bloody gore-filled festival be if without scrubbing down and dressing up when it's all over? Ball will be held from 9 pm eastern to 11 pm eastern on Sunday in Prime. (Time for Plat's is still pending)

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.

Arena Guidelines - When you go through the portal into the arena, ALL outside spells are stripped, and then for native casters:

  • Retribution effect (only) of Cloak of Shadows (712) is stripped
  • Arcane Barrier (1720), Elemental Targeting (425), and Rapid Fire (515) are stripped

Inside the arena itself:

  • Most spells over level 10 are now allowed
  • Implosion (720), Elemental Targeting (425), Censure (316), Judgment (1630), Nature's Fury (635), Sleep (501), Flaming Aura (1706), Spirit Servant (240) are all blocked
  • Hiding is allowed
  • No demons, animal companions, or Singing Sword Song (1025)
  • No wands or embeds
  • No scrolls

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.

  • Cysaegir: no entries
  • Icemule Trace: Roblar and Burgoczorn
  • Kharam Dzu: no entries
  • Mist Harbor: no entries
  • River's Rest: no entries
  • Solhaven: no entries
  • Ta'Vaalor: Kakoon and Pereus
  • Wehnimer's Landing: Zalion, Leafiara, and Aureliano
  • Zul Logoth: no entries
  • Other participants: No other city-states, principalities, kingdoms, or islands put forth a Champion. To fill remaining bracket locations, a raffle will be set out within the Festival of the Fallen grounds on opening night and will draw Saturday morning. All entrants chosen at this drawing will not be considered Champions of any such town but merely eager participants of the arena.
