*News for the Forum, not a specific game to sign up for*
Many of you are now aware of the Amaranthine Games - an elaborate and bizarre series of contests between the thrones of the Feywild courts, which have drawn upon the adventurers of Daring Heights and Port Ffirst for their competitors many times.
The competition seems to be centered around 5 Players (in order of current standing in the games):
The prize for winning the Games seems to involve the Player being able to grant 'ascendancy' to someone - the ability to elevate that person, whoever they may be, to the Fey nobility - a position of privilege and unknown power. Each Player has now declared the candidate they have selected to Ascend, should they win the games.
These games have continued for some time, and now they are finally coming to a head. Posters have appeared across Daring and Port Ffirst, advertising a grand event taking place soon to conclude these games at last.
THE AMARANTHIAD - A Series of Games taking place over 2 Tendays (3 weeks) to conclude the great spectacle of the Amaranthine Games, decide the most powerful and cunning Lord or Lady in the realms and see the ascendancy of the next member of the nobility! It is held in a grand arena specially built for this one event, with a capacity for thousands of people to come and see the incredible sights!
[So, for the first 2 weeks in June (w/c 4th, 11th), we will be running a number of games around this arena. The FINALE of Season 4 and the Amaranthine Games will be held on the 18th June! This final game will be a special event we are pulling together which will determine the outcome of the games and who becomes a powerful new member of the Fey nobility and what that will mean for the future of the campaign...we will make sure that as many players as possible can play in this final game on the 18th.]

The competition seems to be centered around 5 Players (in order of current standing in the games):
- King Ulorian, known as the River King. The plague that hit Daring Heights is reputed to have been orchestrated by him. Those of you who have met Ceres, the half-lightning woman, would know that she is a servant of the River King.
- Jack, the Jester of Queen Aestruum, who has joined the competition through a technicality for the joint purposes of freedom and revenge. He is a hexadrone - a huge mechanical being of tentacles and eyes.
- Queen Sarastra Aestruum, known as the Queen of Night and Magic and the overall Queen of most of the Feywild. It's worth noting that the Bear King, lord of the Bear Kingdom to the north and allied with Daring Heights, is a vassal of Queen Aestruum
- Queen Titania, known as the Summer Queen
- Queen Morrinn of Grokeheim, known as the Snow Queen

- River King: Langston Farstep, through bargains unknown
- Jack: Jack, because he wants that power so that he shall no longer be subject to the Queen of Night & Magic
- Queen of Night & Magic: High Priest Rholor of Daring Heights, for past services in dispatching Queen Granny Longtooth
- Summer Queen: Sunday, Paladin of Corellon and former adventurer of Daring Heights
- Snow Queen: Arielle Yarsai, Eladrin of long service and renown
