Greetings Basin,

On behalf of Magnagora I am pleased to post the official announcement of
the next Bloodfaire. This longstanding festival is a tradition within
the Engine that lasts nearly a full year packed with events in
celebration of all things Magnagoran.

All citizens, allies, and neutral parties are invited into the city to
join the festivities, and even those from enemy nations may be allowed
amnesty on a case by case basis provided they are willing to pay the
blood-tax.

Festivities will begin in Juliary, year 590 and will run through
Avechary, year 591.

Throughout the festival you may:

* Browse special Faire only wares including masks, decorations, food,
and more!
* Listen to impromptu sermons.
* Enjoy a certain festive atmosphere that permeates the city.
* Bid on an auction of Magnagoran services (a book containing listings
will be kept at: an opulent turquoise literary salon).
* Attend the full schedule of events culminating in Masquerade ball.


Below, you will find attached the full schedule for the festival. Those
with questions about the Faire can direct them to Uzriel, Sapphira, or
those listed as hosts for specific events.
