    Hi, CB Host Billy Mays here with my fellow co-host Ponty! We are proud to announce the fourth Character Building Event! For this event's theme, we are going with Celestials; now Billy, what the hell are Celestials and why should I give a Skeever's Hide? You shut your plebeian mouth when Billy Mays is explaining things to you! Anyway, builders will have to come up with crafty products that are based on the Standing Stone they choose. For instance, a build with the Ritual Stone should have some affiliation with necromancy.

    Unlike previous events, there is a limitation. The theme of your build must reflect the power of the Standing Stone you choose. If you plan on posting an edgy assassin that has no magical skill with the Atronach Stone, then expect it to be disqualified from the Event. But if that build were say a Nightblade and you relied on the Atronach Stone, then it would be acceptable. I hope that clears up any confusion regarding what we're expecting. Let's get started with the rules of this Event!

    Rules and Requirements

    • Your build must be based on your Standing Stone of choice.
    • If you plan on using the Aetherial Crown, make sure the build's skills reflect the power of both Standing Stones.
    • Completed builds must be submitted between the 1st and 8th of November. Builds posted before and after these dates cannot use the 'Event Build:' prefix or the event tag.
    • To deter poor entries, your build must contain at least 1200 words.
    • Your build must range between level 35-55. No more or less.

    Event builds cannot be ranked and must use the 'Event:Celestials' tag rather than a rank tag. All normal tags can still be applied.  If you need tips or advice, either myself or Ponty will do our best to point you in the right direction; that does not mean we will write it for you. Feel free to message me if you need some assistance with your build.

    I've added a book discussion on The Firmament for those who wish to delve a little deeper or talk about the stones/signs without giving away any build details.
