The Magical Competiton
The first of the coliseum events is a magical talent competiton, where the worldâs spellcasters will be able to show their aptitude on offence and defence! Each competitor will have three minuites to prepare and display a spell in two categories.
In the first category, the spellcaster will need to cast a spell to destroy a target in the middle of the arena. They will be judged on the effectiveness, visuals and creativity of the spell by the panel of judges.
In the second category, the spellcaster will need to cast a spell to defend themselves from a small, harmless magical projectile being launched at them. They will be judged on the effectiveness, visuals and creativity of the spell by the panel of judges.
Judges Panel
- Archmage Zyretha Snowdawn
- Stellarian Azmira
- Sinaldra Morrowburn
- Astran Dawnhaven
The Argent Joust
The other competiton of the day, in the Championâs Ring, is an Argent Joust. This is a single elimination tournament using the Argent Crusadeâs jousting rules. The first to dismount their opponent in a duel will be the winner!
Lances will be provided for the event by the organisation team in Argent, Horde and Alliance optional colour schemes.

Iâve already begun keeping watch, It feels good to be back in service once more
This is happening tonight, good Azerothian people. \o/ Join and enjoy!
From the journal of Reverand Corvenus Winteroak:
It seems fitting to start a journal of my thoughts and experiences on the evening following our first⌠well, âdeploymentâ, shall we say? That word, âdeploymentâ, it feels clunky, you donât âdeployâ simple folk, civiliians. I suppose âexcursionâ might be more apt.
I sit here at the Argent Tournament grounds, admist the snow and sheer cliff faces of mountains you can only see for they stars the block out behind them. So many fond memories cling to every corner, every tent. Iâd spent many months here years past when I was a Cleric of the Argent Crusade, having been a cleric of the Argent Dawn before it. Helping to set up the tents, build the collisum, helping training the chmpaions of the Horde and Alliance, from Darnassus to the Undercity⌠so much has changed, and so little of it for the better. Never again will either city field Champions here, their banners hang now in the cold wind as tokens of a different time, where we came here, together, in persuit of honour and the means to destroy The Lich King and his Scourge.
Perhaps though it is here that the seeds of rebirth will continue to take root and grow. Last night I shared a fire with several others, some Horde, some Alliance and others Neutral between the factions. Two Kaldorei sat on a bench around the fire, and did not move to strike me down, even bidding me a âgood nightâ as I left. There is so much pain to be had following the end of this Fourth War, and so many share in the suffering caused by Sylvanas, perhaps that is enough to bring us together.
It is Ironic that she who sought to divide us and make war is the focus of our hatred and that which might just help to bring us together. Still⌠her stain upon the fabric of my peopleâs society and honour will be with us for generations, hanging over us like a bloody battle standard and memory.
Here with me are the men and women of The Tirisfallen.
I had not expected what my brother and I set out to do two months ago, which was little more than getting supplies to our people in Tirisfal and Orgrimmar would have turned into this community of like-minded undead.
Do you know what I find most remarkable though? How something so little as simply listening to their worries, or listening to them talk of their struggles, and even their former lives does to raise their spirits.
Had our people in undeath learnt not to listen, or had we learnt not to speak? I leave my journal on that question for tonight, and leave this page open on my desk for any who wish to read it.

A summary of tomorrowâs games:
Pet Battle Contest
In the Coliseum, participants will submit a team of three of their companions to battle eachotherâs teams of combatants across a single elimination tournament. They must choose wisely, as once they have selected their team at the start of the competiton, they cannot change it!
Archery Competiton
In this contest, each competitor will be called in a volley to fire upon a target from a set range, selected by an official. Depending on where their shot lands on the target, they will recieve points, up to six for hitting the dead-centre of the bullseye!
The winner will be the archer with the highest points total at the end of all the volleys. If there is a tie, the tied competitors will take shots until their tie is broken, with the first to land a better shot than their opponent being declared the winner!
You will also be provided with a high quality bow and arrows for this event to ensure fair and optimal competition. (You may keep the bow afterwards)
