17.7.4 The Quinquagenary Celebrations

(See also: HELP CHAMPIONSHIP)

Every fifty years we join together in celebration of the anniversary of the fall
of the Seleucarian Empire. First celebrated by decree of Sarapis, the Logos, in 
the year 200, the festival has grown in size and is now celebrated for the 
duration of the entire year.

The championship games are the highlight of the celebration, in which adventurers
compete for glory and honour, with a single champion emerging to claim the
legendary Staff of Nicator.
