The Shanty Showdown - Presented by The Dread Wyrms of Dalamud's End - Erimmont Chevalier - 03-28-2016 Credit for this lovely promotional poster goes to one Odette Saoirse ( Capheira ) The Showdown Details It's been some time since the Dread Wyrms have hosted an event for the public and for that we apologize. The more recent moons have been ever so busy. However, as is our way, we return in full force to bring you a showdown that only our unique professional brand can muster.  Certainly everyone's heard "Drunken Sailor" and "Blow Boys, Blow!". Though we very well think the world has need of some fresh, original shanties to put some wind in the sails of sailors of both air and sea. That's where you come in. Compose an entirely original shanty and put on a show for a drunken and joyous crowd within Dalamud's End while four judges take our pick of the litter and lavish them with prizes that might well toss your mind overboard. No rules to hold your creativity back save it MUST be a proper shanty in theme. The Prizes This is why you're all here.  Besides booze and incredibly dashing sailor lads and lasses, that is. The GRAND prize, the person who impresses us the most will be given the reins of a rare Zu specimen, tamed by one of our own crew to serve as your trusty steed or murder beast. This is no Fools joke, despite the date. Sure, it looks terrifying and can likely tear your enemies in half with a single snap of the beak but we promise you it's secretly a lover, not a fighter. Would we lie to you?  Probably. To all runner-ups, we'll be granting them a single primal minion of their choice crafted by our own Admiral and genius researcher, Shiori Eikitaika, that has the very essence of the Primals within their tiny forms! These creations will do anything from haul your luggage to launching themselves at your friends and foes alike to pummel them in adorable primal fashion.  We're not to blame for any tempering that goes on. When and Where!? The showdown starts at 8 PM CST on the First of April and runs until whenever you choose to leave or we eventually get tired of you and the contest has ended. We're not a bloody hotel, after all. Though that likely won't be until midnight at latest. We'll be hosting it within our very own mansion, Dalamud's End, found within the Goblet. Ward Seven, Plot Thirteen. The booze is on the house during and even if you're not throwing yourself into the contest, we'd love to see you there. RE: The Shanty Showdown - Presented by The Dread Wyrms of Dalamud's End - Erimmont Chevalier - 03-30-2016 As both a bump and a reminder!  The Showdown is still very much on and the prizes very real.  While the Zu is the grand prize, the primal minions for the runners-up are chosen by you. The joys of Omni-Crafting! RE: The Shanty Showdown - Presented by The Dread Wyrms of Dalamud's End - Erimmont Chevalier - 04-02-2016 A great many thanks to those who attended and competed with congratulations to Odette Saoirse and Tristanaud Lemieux for their grand prize and runner-up winnings!  Keep an eye out for us in the next month as we'll no doubt be hosting another event in the coming weeks!
