Notable things about the April (or “Apris” as we call it in-game) LARP event:
Apris is the month of Spring Showers. Historically it has been called the Fool’s Month, a time of harmless pranks and fun. The celebration was proclaimed by Karthis during the Age of Life and embraced by the Jesters of the time. Nowadays, the celebration of Fool’s Month is never an excuse to break Guildhall Law.
Karthis created this holiday. During the Age of Life, the God of Laughter would randomly pick a day in Apris and proclaim that day was a day for fools, subjecting the whole world to twenty four hours of harmless pranks, poor jokes, and other silliness. Most communities don’t celebrate Fool’s Day anymore, but those who do all pick different days. Fool’s Day is never an excuse to break Guildhall Law.
During the Age of Life, Karthis and his Jesters designed a humorous competition that consists of an obstacle course that tests physical ability and mental acuity. In some courses, participants are timed from the time to they enter the course until they complete it. In other courses, just surviving the run is a win. Physical obstacles consist of climbing walls, balance beams, spider webs, razorwire, and so forth. Tests of mental acuity include puzzles, riddles, and similar items.
