Hear ye, hear ye! Announcing Games! Contests! Performances! Big Booms!

In honour of the 400th anniversary of the founding of the Carnivalis Institute of Jestering, the CIJ will embark upon a Grand Celebration to end the century with a big BANG. We will be joined in our celebratory pursuit by members of the Merchants Grand Collective and supported by the numerous clans that reside on the Isle of Delos.

The celebration kicks off shortly after Serenade in the month of Miraman 699 - yes, that's next month - with a grand fireworks display that will be seen across the oceans of the entire world. In the following months, the CIJ will present performances themed for each of the major cities of Sapience, accompanied by games, contests and merchandise made especially for those events by the crafters of the Grand Collective.

In conjunction with the celebration, and in honour of the single most engaging frivolity of this century, the CIJ will sponsor and host Grand Battle Figurine Tournament for citizens of each city and for the citiless, culminating in the crowning of a Grand Champion Battler of the Century!

The battles will be held on Delos each month shortly after Serenade, according to the following schedule:

Scarlatan: Cyrene........................Ero: Ashtan
Valnuary: Hashan.......................Lupar: Eleusis
Phaestian: Mhaldor......................Chronos: Targosas
...............Glacian: Rogues and Citiless..............
.........Mayan: Semifinals and Grand Championship........

Winners of each championship bout get bragging rights and prizes to be announced soon.

Advance registration is not required, but only citizens of the named cities will be allowed to compete in the city championships. The winners of the city championships will go head to head in Mayan, along with one wild card entry drawn by lot from all participants in the qualifying matches. Betting on outcomes and braggadocio is highly encouraged!

Penned by my hand on the 12th of Aeguary, in the year 699 AF.
