Once more, a Gala to celebrate our artisans, smiths, and creators of all kinds is in its planning stages.
Prospective partners, sponsors, and purveyors take heed.
The Craftman's Gala is a great gathering of craftspeople coming together to teach, share, and sell the fruits of their trade. Magical or mundane, established or apprenticing, all those wishing to gather in the name of artistry are invited. If you have skill, this is an opportunity to sell your wares to a larger market. If you have none, this is an opportunity to learn a trade, as storied masters and instructors from about the planes will be present.
As last time, there will be forums and showcases, auctions and grand bazaar, and most certainly food, drink, and revelry. However, I am taking suggestions for events this time around. If there is something you would like to see, know, or host, please do contact me.
The planned site for this Gala is in Shadowscape. In addition, through partnership with the Citadel, Belenoth will serve as a sister site. During the Gala, all are expected to be gracious guests towards the hosting settlements. To do otherwise will end poorly. As a participant you are expected to compete with debate, wares, and wealth. Other forms of conflict will serve only to shame yourself as you are asked and then made to leave either by a golem, a nightwing, or a throng of fellow revelers.
The Date shall be announced within the next few tendays. As is tradition, I offer room and board to any craftsman staying within the city who has traveled from another plane. Prepare, ye artisans. The Gala approaches!
DATE ANNOUNCEMENT
16th of Flamerule
The date for the Gala has been decided. Mark your calendar! A schedule for the day itself is soon to follow.
Tentative Schedule:
3rd Bell of the Evening
Opening Ceremony, Shadowscape
The opening ceremony begins in the Shadowscape Market Square, a brief history of the City of Shadowscape and thanks for its hosting of the event for a second year. Participants may peruse professional instructors and merchants immediately afterwards.
4th Bell of the Evening
Open Forum, Shadowscape
Public forum open to any and all who wish to speak of craftwork, mundane or magical. This shall be held in the Crystal Node Plaza in Shadowscape.
5th Bell of the Evening
Craft Competition, Shadowscape
Wares and works shall be judged. Prizes will be awarded for first, second, and third place. This shall be held in the Market Square.
Open Floor and Bazaar Preparations, Belenoth
Merchants wishing to have a space at the Grand Bazaar may depart for Belenoth and make arrangements. Patrons are encouraged to meet and greet at this time.
6th Bell of the Evening
Grand Bazaar, Belenoth
Experience the wonder and the spectacle of the Grand Bazaar as merchants from around the realms present their wares for sale, trade, and auction. This shall take place in the Belenoth atrium, merchant hall, and canal.
Sometime After
Great Feast and Ball, Belenoth
When everyone has had their fill of the bazaar, patrons are welcomed to attend a dinner and dance to culminate the festivities. Cuisine too is a craft. This shall take place in the Belenoth Feast Hall beyond the canal. Room and bed for the night shall be provided for those who are in no state to planar navigate back to their homes, though moderation is advised of feast-goers all the same.

[In response to the message in Cordor]
Shadowscape is a hub for both travel and trade. It is on the Shadow, yes, but it is a fully functioning City upon the plane, not somewhere in the perpetual gloom as you call it. Both I and the many merchants that already call it home can assure you that wares and walking path are fully visible within the city. I invite you to travel there or visit my manor therein, should you still have doubts.
Morever, there were no complaints of difficult appraisal at the last Craftman's Gala, which also took place in the City of Shadowscape.

The Gala is proud to announce "The Djinn" as our next partner.
The mononymous wonder-worker will be joining the Gala. Who knows what fantastic things he may have in store?
Organizations and craftsmen wishing to have a booth, please remember to contact me as soon as possible.
