<DIV align=center>Do you have what it takes to be a Fire Walker?</DIV>
<DIV align=center>If you think so then come and try. There will be several Miscreant hosted competitions held to find those who have the "right stuff" </DIV>
<DIV align=center>They will be granted one of the Fire Walker Lanters to carry from camp to camp, list field to court, and such and so forth.</DIV>
<DIV align=center>Once there are enough of you out there, there will be a competion held to find the Prince(Princess) of the Fire Walkers. (There's a nifty staff with a hook you can hang your lantern from) But only holders of the lantern will be allowed to compete for this little title.</DIV>
<DIV align=center> </DIV>
<DIV align=center>BTW, this is our own little way of incouraging entertainers to get out there and move around. It is time we stop waiting for them to come to us, we must take it to them!</DIV>
<DIV align=center>Any type of performers are eligable including bards, jesters, dancers, musicians, and just about anything else you can think of of course. You may not be the best competition performer out there, but if you entertain on demand for the good of the populace you have come to the right place!</DIV>
<DIV align=center> </DIV>
<DIV align=center>And if anyone out there would like to help us in out attempt to bring out the best entertainers in the Known World, let us know. Any help would be appreciated.</DIV>
