Kelly Jendrock, hostess of the Dalaran Magic Faire, will formally open the five day extravaganza at the eighth bell - to be immediately followed by the Parade of Magic.
20.10 Parade of Magic
To start off the fifth Dalaran Magic Faire there will be a parade to celebrate all things magic. The parade will be marching throughout the city of Dalaran! Got some old dusty ceremonial robes that don’t get to see the light of day? Or perhaps a magical pet or familiar that you’d like to showcase? A mount with sparkly, fabulous, enchanted armour? Now’s the time to show everyone!
OOC info
The Parade of Magic is a fun little event to start off the entire faire. In essence, it’s an excuse to show off any magical transmog/pet/mount/toy that your character has. A word of caution however, stay true to what’s reasonable and what your character does indeed possess IC. We don’t want someone riding a blue dragon IC or whatever.
20.30 Magus Commerce Exchange Market
Directly following the Parade, the Dalaran Magic Faire trademark market for magical goods will begin in the Magus Commerce Exchange.

20.00 Opening and Announcements
20.10 Aegwynn’s Enigmatic Wizard Tourney
Location: Aegwynn’s Gallery
Hosted in the depths of Aegwynn’s Gallery, participants of the Aegwynn Puzzle Tourney - or Aegwynn’s Enigmatic Wizard Tourney - will be put through trials that require tremendous wit, will and wisdom. Guardian Aegwynn was perhaps one of the most clever mages this world has ever seen, countering the Legion’s wicked schemes at every turn. In her honor, Kelly Jendrock and Archmage Zyretha Snowdawn will administer the trials - to find out who is the Kirin Tor’s smartest.
OOC info
The Aegwynn Puzzle Tourney is, shockingly, a puzzle, riddle and spellcasting tournament - where your brains will be put to the test. Sign-ups are not needed. The puzzles have been designed so that participant size does not affect the amount of time it takes - and they are also hand-crated. No amount of googling will help you here.
6th of January
20.00 Opening and Announcements
20.10 The Great Conjurer’s Cook-off
The Conjurer’s Cook-off is a contest for the most prestigeious and skilled food conjurers in the world. Hosted by the incredible Cassandra Hawk! In this contest, magi will be tasked to prepare food in accordance with themes provided to them on the spot. The twist is that the magi are not allowed to bring any food or drink ingredients to the contest. Instead, everything must be conjured on the spot. These conjured ingredients must then be combined into meals that suit the given themes, only to be judged by a selected jury. The contestants will, however, be provided with a table, a wide variety of cutlery and tools as well as a stove with an oven.
OOC info
Sign-ups needed, contact Kelly, Cassandra or Zyretha to sign up. While your characters will recieve the instructions on the spot, role players will recieve them four days prior to the contest. This will offer you some time to think and research about what kind of ingredients, food and drink the WoW universe may offer that suits the theme. During the event, each participant will be judged based on their emotes and creativity mainly. For each food and drink item produced, contestants will get a maximum of two chat paragraphs to describe the appearance of the items and an additional maximum of two paragraphs to describe the smell, texture and taste. Hence, a total of four paragraphs per item. Each contestant will be asked to prepare one main course meal, one drink and one desert. All three may have different themes. The judges will award points to each contestant based on the criteria and the contestant with the most points win! Keep in mind, that there will be quite some time between the start of the event and the time of judging. During this time, you are free to emote your magic and cooking to your hearts content. The more RP the better!

7th of January
20.00 The Feast of Scribes
Location: Aegwynn’s Gallery
For the first time, the distinguished celebration of the Feast of Scribes coincides with the Dalaran Magic Fare! It is not uncommon for Magi of the Kirin Tor to schedule their publications to come out around the Feast - all for a chance to be spotlighted during the ceremony. During the evening, the most renowned authors and publishers of Dalaran congregate to celebrate their literary achievements. Authors will be given a chance to speak about their recently published books, articles, theories or other publications - meanwhile the crowd can indulge in some of the finest catering and musical performances Dalaran has to offer.
Always with a dress code, the theme for this year’s feast is: Magical Minimalism. Roll out the red carpet!
[Editor’s note]: The Kirin Tor would like to clarify that the dress code refers to the art style of minimalism, not coming scandily clad. This can for example mean simple structured but chic garments, clean colours, materials or details.
OOC info
The Feast of Scribes is a canon Kirin Tor celebration mentioned in the Last Guardian novel. I have carefully fleshed out its content with reverence, and thus, The Feast of Scribes is a hybrid social and literature event. How this will work is people can contact me to let me know they are interested. They will then be required to post an AA publication ahead of the evening of the Feast of Scribes, where they will then be assigned a speaking slot throughout the evening to pitch their publication, and their other work. It’s truly an event for those of us who are big on creating on AA - mixed with a big social event. Sign-ups are naturally needed to “enter” the literature part of the event.
Schedule:
20.00 Opening Speech & Menu Presentation
20.10 Cassandra Hawk
20.30 Poetry Performance by Lundra Moltenforge
21.00 Eronise Ren’thas
21.20 Musical Performance by The Fablewind Faire
22.00 Acheleus Moonblaze
22.20 Kelly Jendrock
22.40 Fireworks Show
The event is open for changes and suggestions. If you would like to sign up for the market, comment on the forums or reach out to me in-game (KĂŞlly). I will continuously update this post with more details over time. This server-wide event is being done every 5 months to promote the AD Mage RP Discord server in an attempt to make the mage RP community more tightly knit. Please check the AA event link at the very top for some snazzy edited pics. Hope to see you there!
