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.

Taking careful inventory of his wares for the upcoming Mage Fair, Aias Aelumil 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 dark skinned unfamiliar faces obviously from the Land of Endless Night, 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 of 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.

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

The Temple of Mystra in Baldur's Gate is making obvious preparations to send a delegation to the Magefair, although one of the local priestesses, Aeili, is still noticeably absent and has not been seen in almost two entire tendays.

// 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.

After a time of peddling the temple's merchandise, Priestess Aeili spent some time wandering the stalls looking for a select few arcane components. She also spent a considerable amount of time talking with a drow, and the two had a friendly magical duel sometime later. She disappeared as discreetly as she arrived, the silent brown-masked 'assistant' along with her.

(( A huge thank you to DM Bloodlust for the setup and management of the event. I had great fun!
