January 2022 Archmage Tournament

[Max Lager]

The January Archmage Tournament will be held on Sunday, January 16th at 8:00pm Eastern! The format will (likely) be double elimination (depending on entrants), and late entrants have no more than 5 minutes to arrive. Seeding will begin at 8:05pm, and casting will begin at 8:10pm.

Seeding will be based on the most recent RoK rankings. Early registration will cut off on Friday, January 14th at 8:55pm ET. Any late registrants or walk-ins will automatically be ranked below early registrants. Registrants tied with the same ranking will be seeded by WoL.

Please post your registrations as replies to this thread. Good luck everyone!

(( This is a reminder that we do have a 5 minute casting limit each round in order to try and keep the tourney from running too late. In the case anyone needs more than 5 minutes for an urgent/special circumstance, please alert the caller, opponent, and the room so that they know you need a few minutes and will return asap. Thanks! ))

Second place will also take home an additional prize in the form of the Keeper's Blessing.

Keeper's Blessing

1. Allows the wielder of this grant the ability to use a special one time use Elemental Fury crystal within a challenge against a Keeper. This crystal will allow its wielder the use of Elemental Fury up to three times within a challenge (should the challenge go to 3 full duels). The power of the Elemental Fury Crystal can only be used once per match. The Keeper's Blessing is available for use until the next Archmage Tournament.

- or -

2. Allows the wielder to submit the Blessing to the Duel of Magic staff to be redeemed for a Challenge Grant that can be awarded to any non-Sorcerer duelist of their choice. This grant will allow its wielder to challenge one of the four elemental keeper titles so long as the keeper is not under a grace period. This grant must be used within 14 days.

(( Should 2nd place go to a current Elemental Keeper, they can only select the second option to give the grant away, and cannot select the EF crystal since they're already a keeper. ))

On the menu this evening spectators and casters alike will find an assortment of arepas and various toppings to snack on! Stuff them with seafood, top them with cheese and chorizo or even devour some of the oogey gooey cheese filled arepas!


Further along the buffet tables are taco salad fixings, and varieties of empanadas and tequitos! Meat and vegetarian options are clearly labeled to prevent any dietary confusions!


Naturally, as Max was setting up this tournament there would be platters full of her specialty, decorated sugar cookies! Enjoy the stellar stars!


To wash everything down, the specialty drinks of the evening are Moonberry Martinis, Pomegranate Margaritas and Tequila Twilights! Mocktail versions are also available!

[Ebon Ilnaren]

Jaycy and I had a nice talk, and she has decided to defend her title in earnest. As such, we will be convening on Twilight Isle next Tuesday, 1/25, at 8:30 ET, pending formal validation.

Caller is pending.

[Max Lager]

No formal validation is required for this challenge as you, Ebon, have already been shown to have won the Archmage Tournament.
