The Champion of Freedom Festival
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Flyers are hanging all around Stormwind, the walls are crawling with it. They read as follows.*
Greetings citizens of Azeroth!
Many years full of war, death and suffering have come to pass now. In due time alliances have been made, forming "guilds". Some guilds fight amongst each other for power, others band together to face the Horde threat. Sometimes we do forget that, because of the effort of these guilds, we still keep our freedom. If it wasn't for them, we would not have our freedom right now and the Alliance Grand Army would've most likely lost the war, resulting in a loss of freedom for all of us! In celebration and to show our gratitude to all these guilds, we shall hold a grand festival. It is a festival to celebrate the freedom that we have now, to lay down our arms against each other and celebrate. During this festival, there will be a grand dueling tournament. It's for sport and fun for a change, instead of killing and surviving. The winner of this tournament, shall be known as our Champion of Freedom. And we shall name this festival to him! The Champion of Freedom Festival! Off course, this tournament shall not be the only thing what this day is about. It is about relaxing, having a good time and socializing too off course. Therefor, a huge bazaar will be organised, where everyone can put up his wares for sale! Be it weapons, ores, small pets or maybe even underwear! If you have something to sell, then is the time! Off course, there will also be goods that are valuable beyond belief. These extremely rare items, will be auctioned live by Alyssya Reed. Furthermore, a play will be held, wich will be supervised by Gwealyn Rose and Lady Madelyn. Off course, people who are thirsty and hungry will not be forgotten. There will be various services available to quench your thirst with ale or other goods! And this day will be finalised with the crowning of our new champion along with fireworks. This all shall happen in the ancient Gurubashi arena in Stranglethorn Vale. Offcourse, a big regiment of guards will be available to make sure everyone is kept safe. And patrols will be made between the Arena and Booty Bay to ensure safe passage. After that, we shall move over to Stormwind and hold a grand ball, where people can dance on the music and enjoy a few drinks and socialize. Every Human, Dwarf, Night Elf, Gnome and Draenei and every other friendly to the Alliance is invited for this event. Let's make it a day worht remembering, but most of all.. Let's celebrate our freedom!

Greetings everyone,
as you could read above here, I am planning to host a gigantic festival, wich will be held at the first sunday of June, that being 3 June.
I invite everyone that knows what Roleplaying is to come along and participate. Even if your somewhat new at roleplaying, do come along and have fun! It'll be an event that will go on during the entire day, with the 1 on 1 tournament going on throughout most of the day, depending on the actual signups. And the Bazaar will be going on the entire day. There will also be a play organised. More about this later as well. Off course, I encourage everyone to come and stop by and stay as long as you can or like. Make sure you tell about this event to all your friends, so we can get as many people as possible to come. The more, the merrier. Anyway, there's still a few people I need to assist me. here are the jobs I still need filled:
Foods and Drinks - I'm also looking for atleast 2 people that want to sell their goods they have made with cooking and atleast 2 people that wish to sell ale at the bazaar.
A narrator - For the tournament, to call the fighters forward and at the same time be a referee
Actors - For Gwealyn and Madelyn's play. If you're an actor, you can help shape the story with them
Guards - I need some guards to keep order in the arena, making sure there are no fights. Patrol the road between Booty Bay and the Arena to keep the low levels safe. And off course, guards at the gate and around the arena to stop the Horde and griefers interrupting arena fights.
Bookie(s) - Off course, it would be awesome if some people could roleplay as some bookies, if it is allowed by Blizzard.
If you are interested in taking up any of these jobs, /w me ingame
The Bazaar
Then there is the on-going Bazaar. The idea is to actually have an in-game bazaar, like in real-life. You have something you want to sell? Ores, Weapons, Gems, Food, Drinks, Enchants or maybe even items that are purely used for RP measures. Prepare yourself for a large stock as of now, and come purchase all these wares in an RP fashion. And with so many competition around, there's bound to be some bargains in the air! This will be done entirely in character though.Off course, to keep everything smooth and organised, it's necessary to sign up with me, so that I can designate everyone to a place.
Live Auctions
There will also be live auctions, held by Alyssya Reed. This mainly involves epic items, mostly crafted. Everyone can bid on them once the bidding starts. There will be a minimum set per item, by the person who crafted the item. There will not be a maximum however. If you wish to put some of your crafted items up for auctioning, contact Alyssya/Mashanga/Niriate in-game.
The Tournament
The tournament will be the main event of this entire day, mostly because the winner will be declared the champion and the next festival (If this is succesfull enough) will be named after him. And because it takes up most time. First of all, it is only for players of level 70. To keep it fair and not having to worry about level difference. There's also a signup fee of 10 gold. The winner gets 60% of the total sum of the fees, the first runner-up gets 30% and the second runner-up gets 10%. Off course, the only thing that is allowed are bandages and your own skills. So no buffs from other players, no grouping for aura's and such. Players that violate these rules will automatically lose. A duel shall start every 10 minutes, and can last a maximum of 5 minutes. So while you wait for the fights to begin, you can see what the bazaar has to offer. Currently, i'm taking as many signups as possible. Though, there will be a cap at some point. Remember, the main goal of the tournament is to give people some entertainment. The money should just be a motivation for you to do your best and put up a nice show. If you are interested in signing up for this tournament, /w me in-game.
For any questions about this event, /w me in-game as well.
Hope to see you then!
Jonkar Sebatine.
