The Captains’ CarnivaleEvent will run from April 2nd to May 17th.
Each year hundreds of people flock to the Drifting City to celebrate the supposed birthday of Captain Aleutian, the first Pirate Queen. Credited with guiding the southerners to safety in the Whaletooth Archipelago centuries ago and founding the role of Pirate Queen, Aleutian is one of the most significant figures in the Archipelago’s history. The day that she came into the world is marked with appropriate gusto, and the ensuing party can last for over a month.
During times when no Pirate Queen rules the Archipelago, it is customary for those who wish to follow in Aleutian’s footsteps to try to win support by hosting their own event at the Carnivale.
To the surprise of none, the four commonly-accepted candidates for Pirate Queen are all in attendance at the Carnivale. With the aid of their crews, each has organized a set of challenges for party-goers in the Drifting City.
Captain Chomper has the “Trial of Faces”, a bombastic beauty pageant where contestants must sell a persona as well as wow the audience with their fashion; Captain Meridian has the “Trial of Tongues”, a test of wit where contestants must earn the favour of the crowd through words alone; Captain Hurricane has the “Trial of Storms” where contestants must - much to the concern of the local firefighters - shatter explosive potions to try to trigger a chain reaction; and lastly, Captain Oarfish has the “Trial of Blood”, where contestants fight to first blood using the knives that she provides. Each Captain has obtained a set of small tokens to award those who achieve victory in their trial. Between attempts at the Captain’s Trials, the Moon-and-Star Inn has become a popular place for Carnivale attendees to relax with a drink. The Moon-and-Star’s owner, Clementia Memento Componere Aequus, is accommodating towards all comers, no matter their history or attitude; all are welcome in their inn!

Rules How to Enter & Event Points Guide Event Objectives Entry Prompts The Drifting City (setting guide!) Event Prizes How to Submit Entries
You can enter this event by creating an illustration, story or RP relevant to one of the event prompts (see the Entry Prompts section) provided for the event.
Your work should be clearly related to the event (take place in the Drifting City during the carnivale, etc). Simply drawing an image of an NPC will not be enough to count as participation. There are no minimum requirements for your entry. It should, however, be clearly relevant to the event, and you will receive EP (event points) based on a mix of effort and a random bonus score! Do not submit “EP sheets” (ie; images with multiple drawings of the same character on it with intent to grind hundreds of points in one entry) - only the first appearance of a character will be counted for EP, unless in the case of comics or animation entries.
Read about counting EP at this link!
