Important announcement for all signed on to compete with any event!
To facilitate the cross-faction nature of the games weâll be using an in-game community. Note. We will still be inviting participants to groups against our signup lists. We will also not be using or moderating the in-game communityâs chat as if we could, weâd turn it off. We just want to easily be able to invite you to cross-faction groups.
Today is the day! We start tonight at 20:00 server time outside the gates of the coliseum for the opening ceremony and weâll then begin the Evocation contest at 20:45 over at the ranged target area! The Cathedral Chapterâs sermon will begin at 21:00 at the stage beside the Championâs Ring!

Thank you to my follow competitors who participated in the Archery Competition. It was a delight to be able to participate together with the rest of you, and be able to refresh my outdated skillset of archery. It was quite entertaining, and I was pleasantly surprised to manage to reach a 4th place ranking among others who stood to fire an arrow - and I respectfully bow to the factual evidence that the three higher ranked were within the trade of Archery or Marksmanship.
I bid you all a good tournament, and hope to see you among the crowd once more. Safe journey to you all.
Signed,
Director Jeremy S. Lochton Alliance Salvaging And Procurement

Weâd like to thank the Poetry Appreciation society for holding their regular meeting at the tournament, and the Eternal Association for their Elven cultures feast!
Tonightâs event is the Duels! Weâll be gathering briefly for announcements at 20:00 outside the Argent Pavilion. We will then ask competitors to go Immediately to whomever invites them to a raid group. We will need to use multiple arenas to cover the number of people in the competition competing. Those on the waiting list should remain at the Pavilion until invited to a group.
IC every competitor will have recieved a small badge that lights up to indicate where to go, even if they are on the waiting list. This will act as the IC version of this necessity. Sorry if itâs a little immersion-breaking, this is already a massive amount of work as is for us and we need to simplify where we can.
We will also have Derenly Winterdawn performing at the stage at 20:30!

A great big thank you to the organisers, traders, judges, participants and everyone who showed up. <3 It was a memorable and awesome event, my character made a bunch of new contacts and participated in two contests.
This was one of the best Grand World Tourneys Iâve been to so far! Kudos to all the organizers and those who initiated to help along! It was a nice initiative, itâs people like you lots that keep the RP community up the mud!
And big thanks to all those Iâve met in the tournament, yâall were all nice! I canât wait for next year, I hope you get your well-deserved rest!
First and foremost. A massive thank you for the kind words and attending. People showing up and enjoying themselves is why the event is ran at all. Itâs impossible to run an event like this without people to enjoy it, so thank you for everything.
Second, the winners of the final contest, the Argent Joust!

Weâd also like to thank the traders and bartenders who kept the tournament vibrant across the five days, offering everything from clothes to machines to as one would expect, plenty of food and drink. Itâd not feel the same without their contributions as a living, breathing event.
Weâd also like to thank those who gave talks or performed during the event for their amazing contributions to the themes of the event, and allowing people to enjoy and learn something new.

Thank you once again for coming and enjoying the event!
I just want to thank folks that organised and attended this tournament, its things like these that make a server feel alive still. And although Des has not won any of the official competitions, I daresay he won the true contest: The Sulfuron Slammer Shot contest hosted by the Dwarves of the Morodnir
