There is a time to act, and then a time to rest, before acting once more. Yet time does not stand still...
Act III.V: Interlude!
Rumors and Story Aspects
a) Glorious Battle! (Saturday, May 13th, 2017, 7 pm CST)
Spirits are high among the combative types of Ul'dah, and now that the shock has worn off, the populace hungers for the clash of arms. The obvious solution: a tournament of arms in the Coliseum! With security specially provided by the Immortal Flames, an open invitation has been put out to Adventurers and pit fighters of all stripes, to this single-elimination battle extravaganza.
"Come! Put on a show! Excite the crowd! Impress a sponsor! They say the winner will get to take on a famous Flame Captain, in a special exhibition match! An opportunity not to be missed!"
~This will be an 8-fighter single-elimination tourney; unfilled spots, if any, will be filled by NPCs. Also, signing up to this event willl not exclude you from signing up for either of the other events this round~

b) The Heights of Ambition (Thursday, May 18th, 2017, 7:15 pm CST)
In the frozen tundra lands of the Falling Stars, a challenge has been issued by X'indro, the Southern Warlord; a race against a pack of his so-called 'angels' to collect a treasure from the mountains. Which mountains? The homelands of the Ixal, of course... with the treasure in question the prized egg of one of the beastmen's matriarchs.
"Four versus four, that's fair yes? Try not to drop the egg on the way back. I get the egg, and you all have permission to walk in Falling Stars lands, unmolested. And the team that wins, gets a prize! Do your best~!"

c) The Depths of Anguish (Sunday, May 21st, 2017, 3 pm CST)
In the wake of the violent confrontation some sennights past and the explosions which ensued - in an estate rumored to be rife with void energies - an expedition to study the structural integrity of the catacombs was launched. No one returned. Adventurers are needed. "Horrified screams over the linkpearls, then silence. Something terrible is down there, and it's not just a few zombies this time."

Act III.V: Interlude!
Rumors and Story Aspects
- A febrile peace has settled upon Ul'dah. Those who pay attention to such things are of a mind that /Now is the Calm Before the Storm/.
- Newfound energy grips Ul'dah's underworld; between the strong front posed by the resilient Golden Pride, the sundering of monetarist mastermind Goldentail's estate, and the ill-concealed return to the public eye of formerly-disgraced master thaumaturge (and suspected voidmage) U'dorian the Grey, it seems it's /A Good Time to be Bad/.
- In the tundra lands below the mountains of Xelphatol, the Falling Stars, a previously unknown (and, if the rumors are true, violently xenophobic) tribe of miqo'te are showing more interest in the outside world. Increased trading activity is gaining the attention of merchants everywhere, as are rumors of the tribals' fighting prowess, coupled with a newfound willingness to hire themselves out as mercenaries.
