The long-awaited ordination is upon us! On Saturday May 22nd, starting

at NOON by the Avalon clock, the divine emerald will be quested for.

This quest, as is traditional, will last for 24 hours. Aldaron will be

officiating and details of the quest format can be found in HELP EMERALD.

At 6pm on Sunday, the denouement. All those mortals holding contender

status will face off, one versus one, in sands elimination bouts lasting

one hour each. The winner of each elimination will keep contender

status. Sands elimination bouts will continue until only two contenders

remain. Then, the three hour amethyst quest begins in which ALL mortals

may take part, in support of their favourite contender. See HELP

ORDINATION and HELP SANDS for info.

The contender holding the amethyst at the end of the contest will gain

the honour of throwing it into the pool at the Rock Pinnacle and thus be

ordained as a permanent member of the Avalon pantheon.

Good luck to all contenders, and remember to give some thought to the

realm you will assume should you ascend to the halls of Olympus.
