Here we are folks! The first day of the Second Annual Grand Tournament of the Fury has arrived! And with it comes one final reveal…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZqsTtyt5HE
The Official Return of Heralds!
While we didn’t have much of a format for them last year, I’m pleased to announce that we’re ready for them this time around!
Heralds will be utilized in the FINAL ROUND of each event, so be sure to have your silver tongued bard of choice on hand to get the crowd on your side for the showdown of the eve!
However, if you don’t have a Herald of your own, this year’s wonderful announcers – Brave Horizon and Xanadu Mol – will be more than glad to give you an impromptu introduction themselves! All we ask is that you have 3 interesting facts about your character on hand to provide our dynamic duo and they’ll take care of the rest.
We do ask, however, that all heraldry be presented in 3 minutes or less. It’s an entrance theme, not a concert after all! So with that said…

BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE!
Pre-Registration has been incredibly helpful in our efforts organizing the Grand Tourney this year and we want to thank everyone who has done so! We’ve nearly 100 total competitors across the 4 events this year, so thank you all for the enthusiasm!
SO to that end, we are going to allow a VERY BRIEF period of sign ups on the day of the event. We’re pushing the official start time to 7:15pm (EST) each day to allow FIFTEEN MINUTES for sign-ups at the door.
It’s still advisable that all competitors arrive at Camp Dragonhead by 7:00pm (EST) but look for Martiallais Heuloix or any Dufresne Bellworks member wearing the green Looking for Party status symbol. They’ll be able to get you registered as long as you are present before 7:15pm when the action starts!
And people say all Ishgardians are jerks - We’ll see you at the tourney!

The Grand Tournament of the Fury kicked off with a literal bang with the Tournament of the Range! Tonight, the realm’s best marksmen and markswomen gathered to square off in a sharpshooting contest, and after a close competition, the winners emerged: Champion of the Range, Ser Vilette Laurent of Ishgard, and runner up, Leanne Delphium of Gridania! Vilette takes home a portrait by Lord Evariste, a hunting hawk, an Eternal Wind orchestrion scroll, and 250k gil! Leanne takes home 100k gil! Congratulations and well done, ladies!
Ishgard has now claimed victory in one event. Can the other city-states refuse her further titles, or will the republic reign supreme? Find out this Sunday, the 21st, as we kick off a gigantic melee with the Tournament of the Blade!
See you there!

I can't believe I managed to roll a 0 somehow. What kind of Keeper of the Moon am I?
This event was a lot of fun and I'm really looking forward to the melee on Sunday.

Day Two of the Second Annual Grand Tournament of the Fury kicks off tonight at Camp Dragonhead!
Tonight's event will be the hotly contested battle to determine this year's Tournament of the Blade champion! I hope everyone's sharpened their blades, polished their shields, and is ready to throw down!
We'll see you at Camp Dragonhead tonight at 7pm (EST)!

Gotta admit though, it made you the star of the show! *grins* I felt so awful for Rinh ICly though. Poor Rinh.

I did so well in the first round, too.

The Crystal Chronicle's report on the tournament of the Mark is now available. Congratulations to Vilette!

The second day of the Grand Tournament of the Fury has finally wrapped up, and what a day it was! This was easily our biggest turnout yet!
The best warriors from around the realm gathered in a fierce competition for fortune and the Fury’s favor. Many of the bouts were brutal and nail-bitingly close! But after a long and hard-fought day, the victors emerged: Champion of the Blade Kiera Hawkeye of Ala Mhigo, and runner up Claire Nyhmidu of Ishgard! Claire takes home 100,000 gil, while Kiera takes home a portrait drawn by Lord Evariste, a Sword and Shield of the Round, a Heroes Orchestrion Roll, and 250,000 gil! Well done, ladies!
We’d also like to thank The Ashen Clinic once again for their outstanding healing services, and Hana O’hana for their lovely flower and hot chocolate vending! Thank you guys for joining us!
The Tournament continues next weekend with the Tournament of the Wand this Friday, May 26th! We hope to see you there!

Many thanks to everyone who attended either to fight, heal, sell flowers (and hot cocoa!) or spectate-cheer-bet on their favorite fighters! The event was long but here's hoping that everyone had a great time!

I thought it was pretty well organised. The commentators were a very nice touch, too. 10/10 would rice again

Is there a projected time for the Ball on the 2nd ending? Looking to attend but might be a little late due to other engagements. x.e

Teadrinker,
The ball is going to be moved back a week to the 9th, in order to give everyone a chance to recover after the excitement of the tournament! Date aside, it will be running until about 11:00 pm EST.
Further official details will be released very soon!

After a few days of rest, the Grand Tournament of the Fury continues tonight! Day three will feature the wielders of mystic might classing in our Tournament of the Wand!
We'll be setting up at Camp Dragonhead once again with a short on site signup window beginning at 7pm and everything will kick off at 7:15pm!
In addition to tonight's bouts, we'll also be featuring a special performance from Sin'dell Shirazi before our finals! And we'll once again have the Ashen Clinic on hand to heal everything from sick burns to wind chills in case anyone happens to get rocked!
We look forward to seeing you there!
