The Grand Tournament of the Fury has drawn to a close, but the second day of festivities proved even more exciting than the first! The night was full of tense action and close competitions, with many victors emerging by a hair’s width. At last, after many hard-fought rounds, our champions emerged! The final results are as follows:

Grand Champion: Percival Turner

Percival took home a “Heroes” Orchestrion roll, a Savage Arc of Triumph, and 20,000 gil.

Champion of the Blade: Guillanaux Oirellain

Guillanaux took home a Falconer’s Tunic and a Stuffed Mandragora Queen.

Champion of the Wand: Iieha Beautemps

Champion of the Range: Seiko Mamushi

Champion of the Lance: Percival Turner

Percival also took home an Orthodox Barding and a High House Supper set.


So many thanks are in order, I don’t even know where to start. In no particular order…

Gwenneth Gilrouis – for her mad wrangling and organizational skills. This literally wouldn’t have happened without you.

Martiallais Heuloix – for networking, advertising, brainstorming, and too much to count

Aramis Dumas – for the original Tournament idea and for hashing out SO MANY RULESETS. Also for pro announcer skills.

Rosaire Ledigne of The Explorer’s Society and Perrine Pepin for crafting and donating nearly all of our prizes.

Stroud Forscythe of the Heartsong Sanctuary for his donation of the Arc of Triumph and the gil.

Fearless Wolf, Brave Horizon, Hyrtwyda Eyhafrynwyn, Arcian Martell, Graeham Ridgefield, Defiant Bride, and Piers Hayward for volunteering, arbiting, overseering, brainstorming, announcing, and being generally awesome.

Warren Castille and J’espi Inama for sharing information and experience with a bunch of clueless noobs.

And last but not least, You! All of the competitors and spectators who turned up to hang out with us and have fun! You are what truly made this event!

There’s probably several other people I’ve missed. If I forgot your name, I’m sorry, it wasn’t on purpose! It’s been a long day and I’m exhausted. XD


On behalf of all of the Bellworks, we sincerely thank you and hope you had as much fun as we did. This was a tremendous amount of work, but seeing the huge turnout and everyone really into it made everything worthwhile.

We’ll have final, concrete info on the celebratory ball within the next few days here, so stay tuned! And thank you again!

Thank you a thousand times to all the volunteers, competitors, and spectators! It's great to see such a good reception and to hear all the positive feedback on the event. Like Ellie said, hearing and seeing that everyone enjoyed the event makes all the hard work that went on behind the scenes most definitely worth it!

One suggestion that we've heard (and initially considered but didn't follow through with this time) was having the events separately so one person could attempt to win them all. Wink But if there are others, by all means, feel free to offer them!

Thank you all once again! You really brought the event to life!

Thanks for hosting!

For how long it was (thank the Gods it was on two days) it was a lot of fun to talk and spectate.

Here's a handful of screenies:
