Magefair (27th of June, 17 GMT)

Unread post by DM Bloodlust »

What is a magefair?
The magefair is a private gathering of arcane spellcasters to exchange spells, research or information, as well as shop, attend events or just practice magic far from inhabitated areas. This magefair springs up around Calimar Arkenneld, whom is rumoured to be looking for a particular set of magical items.

Who is invited?
Any arcane spellcaster (both surface and underdark). Each spellcaster may bring a single guest. Upon entry, each visitor must prove that they are able to cast a spell. The guests are exempt from this requirement. All visitors pay 500 goldcoins upon entry to the sentinel.

Brandishing of weapons, except for quarterstaves, as well as acts of violence outside of the mage duel circle, will be dealt with harshly by the minions of the lich Calimar Arkenneld.

What does the magefair consist of?
The magefair will hold numerous merchant stalls selling exotic and unique reagents, scrolls, magical items, magical services and information. There will be a mage duel circle, and several contests on the display of magical excellence.

When and where will the magefair take place?

The magefair will take place in 8 days (27th of June, 17 GMT onwards). The location will be the upperdark (IC secret until 3 days before the event).

How do I know the fair exists IC?
From a recieved vision from Azuth, Corellon or Mystra or sending from a colleague.

DM Ioulaum wrote:Calimar Arkhenneld
Calimar (CE male drow lich ), Master Emeritus of the School of Enchantment and Charm, is the premier creator of magical items in Sshamath. Well over thirteen hundred years of age, the Spellbinder has created literally hundreds of unique magical items, many copied from artifacts brought back from the ruins of ancient Netheril. Calimar Arkhenneld cares little for the day-to-day politics of Sshamath, having long ago given his undying heart to serving the will of the Lady of Mysteries (Mystra).

Whispers and rumors swirl throughout the Magthere of Illusion and Phantasm concerning visions of the fabled fair. Huge sprawling tents, fantastical creatures and earth shattering spell duals are the hushed conversations of many students.

Apprentice Nymrath Urlbrak sits in the public study hall listening to each rumor, each word passed about this wondrous Mage Fair. Images floated through his mind about the possibilities and beneficial results that could come of such an affair. So much so, he could no longer study. He shut his tome and leaves the Magthere for the tailor's shop.

One simply does not attend a Mage Fair looking unrefined.

One exceptionally gruff and greedy dwarf wets his bearded lips imagining the wonders that might be procured from such a colloquium.

Amidst the rubble of what used to be a rare tea drinking set from some obscure, suntouched region on the surface, Nawiel had calmed down enough to actually think about the vision she'd had. It hadn't influenced her in any way she could think of, and it hadn't felt like an intrusion, she thought as she gently teased the thrown dagger out of the wall by the bed. Hells, it might even be fun to see what this might be about.

Looking at her coin purse, Nawiel knew she was doomed. The prospect of a new market, with unique items for sale would have lured her out on it's own. She'd certainly give it due consideration, and think of the needed precautions she'd have to take before attending. Flattering robes, a pleasing sent, daggers that she could wear without them being obvious. . . an evaluation of her state of mind before going, to check against if she returned altered.

If you put your foot in your mouth. . . don't start walking. . .

Taking careful inventory of his wares for the upcoming Mage Fair, Nymrath stops, his eyes glazing over as visions begin populating his thoughts. Visions of what may come to pass at the Mage Fair.

~Arena battles with fantastical monsters and beasts pitted against each with Arcanists standing on the outskirts of the arena, hollering throughout the fight, making bets on the winner.

~Familiar faces he often sees in his wanderings, and some light skinned unfamiliar faces obviously from the World Above, selling their own personal wares brought from their homeland to curious passerby.

~A pond of arcane liquid, where one owner, once in his life time, drops an enchanted artifact into the pond, with the possibility an equal or stronger enchanted item to float back up to the surface!

~Spell duals unlike he has ever seen before flare up around him.

~Exotic potions and rare scrolls abound a plenty on the peripherals of his vision.

~And faces, varied beyond the planes, crowd the fair on the grounds of neutrality, under the Gods of Magic, to do business, network and trade.

Nymrath shakes his head as the visions fade. He sits and ponders for a moment on what he had just seen. He shook with excitement!

// An OOC portal will be setup in the nexus at 17 GMT. Any character already in the PW will be teleported in upon request, UD and Surface characters. The event is neither good nor evil in orientation, it's a celebration of magic and the deities of magic, complete with events, shopping and lots of roleplay. All participants must be able to cast a spell upon entry. Each visitor can bring one non-spellcaster guest with them. No exception.

// I'll be generous and say any arcane spell level 1 or higher. So, as long as your druid or cleric can cast an arcane spell, you're in. Spell-like abilities and scrolls doesn't count. So, no assassins.

Anyone that doesn't qualify can still visit as a guest to one who qualifies. You must then arrive together, of course.
