Notices are pinned on boards in various inns around the continent, inviting locals to come and join the festivities of the fifth quarterly Celestial Tournament. A faded tracing of Yu’lon accompanies the text written within.
“Warm greetings to all, the Celestial Circle would like to invite all locals to join them at the Shrine of Fellowship in the jade forest for four days starting on 25/07 of festivities where we are holding our tenth quarterly tournament to find out which Celestial most favors us now. A champion of Yu’lon took the title last time, will they be able to hold it? Come along to find out! Maybe it will be you who will be crowned champion of the melee? There will be fights to watch, food and drink to be had, other games and festivities! Hope to see you there!
~Sujee Springbreeze of the Celestial Circle”

Entering the tournament:
The tournament is split into two categories, with two competitions to compete in. We will use rolls to determine winners, do not enter the tournament if you think your char would wipe the floor with it, RNG might not be in your favor. The fights for both categories take place across all days of the tournament!
Melee prowess: Anyone may enter the tournament before it begins on friday (Pandaren, Jinyu, Hozen), sign ups will be done IC near the arena. The IC rules are simple, strike your opponent three times to win, force of blow does not matter, only that the opponents defences are broken past. Blunted weapons and no magic. - A champion of the melee will be crowned after the finals on sunday.
Sword and Sorcery: Only Celestial Circle members may enter this competition, the rules are the same as the previous except this time use of magic is also allowed. - The Celestial Circles celestial champion will be crowned at the end.
