CURRENT LOCATIONToneru - Ashborne Fish are what Ashborne is all about. The air is filled with their smell, the docks are filled with merchants selling them, and it seems every local has at least one accessory made with their scales. Commotion sometimes comes from the docks in the form of fishermen fighting off a stray Crested Sen or two. Never reluctant to make their presence known, the nearby tribe of Igmareg has donated a massive ship to Ashborne's tribe - this is where the Pageant of Inner Light takes place. The interior of the ship is decorated with more fish scales, fishing nets, and wooden carvings. The Ring of Might arena is out in the docks, on a wooden platform sitting over the water. The audience watches the event from the nearby piers. The Fields of Flight track goes through the shallow water along the beach, with the obstacles consisting of carved wooden objects and statues, fishing nets stretched between sets of poles, or large logs half sunken into the sand. Location changes on the 2nd of February, May, August, and November. |

Item Enhancement
Regardless of the discipline your Niravar choose to participate in, the Ardorsurge is charged with magic. Due to this, certain items react strangely when exposed to the activity for a period of time. When you bring an item with you into the Ardorsurge, the following will happen:

The Ring of Might arena consists of three areas. The fight starts in the Main arena - a raised square platform with no railings or other boundaries lining it. Niravar will often attempt to push their opponents off the surrounding Slope and into the Outer arena. Successfully doing so will net them a good score*, and the fight will continue in the Outer arena from then on.
* Please note that drawing your Niravar pushing their opponent off the slope will not net you a bonus to your Ardorsurge roll, this is purely lore information. |
Description
The Ring of Might is a spectacular contest of strength and cunning. Niravar are equipped with harnesses adorned with colourful tassels and ushered into a circular arena with a raised, rectangular platform in the center. Their goal is simple: amass more points than their opponent does in a given time limit.
The tassels on the harnesses detach easily, and each tassel removed from the opponent's harness nets a set amount of points. Furthermore, pushing the opponent off the rectangular platform yields bonus points, possibly giving the Niravar on the platform the upper hand in the fight. To ensure the participants' safety, the harnesses are enchanted and allow their wearer to sustain no injuries whatsoever. This effect only lasts while the Niravar are inside the arena – outside of it, the harnesses are entirely ordinary, to prevent misuse of the magic for military purposes. |

Description
Elanan the Fleet-Footed does not let anything slow her down. It is her belief that the Gods will be happiest if Niravar take care of their bodies through sport and exercise; and for this purpose, she organizes the Fields of Flight. Her heritage is that of racing across Terran's landscape, free and unstoppable.
The Fields of Flight are a contest of agility and speed. Niravar traverse the countryside on meticulously marked trails, jumping over obstacles and attempting to clear the course as quickly and precisely as they can. |

Miscellaneous Information
Please note that the bolded items in the Great Success section can only appear in your loot roll ONCE! This means that if you enter for the Denizen tier of Fields of Flight, you may earn x3 Lemongrass (among other loot), but your entry will never bring more than x1 Half-Eaten Sandwich. The bolded item is likewise not guaranteed and will not drop in every single entry.
The 2022 Vision of the Impassioned Badge only applies to the normal section of the loot pool, not the bolded items.
You receive a set of 10 stat points per rank-up that you can distribute however you want. Spend your stat points wisely! You may reset your Niravar's stats using the Retraining Prompt, up to a total of 2 times, but keep in mind the stats directly affect how your Niravar does in each discipline. If your Pageant of Inner Light Niravar somehow winds up with all their stat points in Might, they may not have a chance of getting Great Success in the Pageant at all! Our Discord Server is always available if you need advice regarding stat distribution.
- Stats
- Bonuses
- A random D20 (numbers 1-20) roll
Stats
Each discipline has a primary and secondary stat. Your primary stat contributes 100% of its value to your roll, and your secondary stat contributes 50%. The tertiary stat contributes 20%. If your stats are not high enough to reach the difficulty score (such as if you participate in Pageant of Inner Light with a Niravar whose main stat is Might), you may not have a chance to succeed at all.
Bonuses
Your bonuses get added on top of your stats. Unlike with stats, if a bonus isn't listed in the activity you are doing (such as if you were to try and use Jewelry Boxes in Ring of Might), you will not receive any boosts from it. Bonuses only affect their relevant activity.
D20 Roll
The Ardorsurge roller picks a number between 1 and 20 to contribute to your roll. It will never subtract points from your roll, only add them. This happens every single time you enter the Ardosurge, regardless of what bonuses you have equipped or what rank you are.
