It is less than a month until the Kotei in Nuremberg will take place, which is why we collected all the infos you need in this post – including the link to Tourney Grounds where you can already register. But more on this below.
The Quiet Before the Storm
Many of you will arrive on Friday June 21 already, so I offer you to go out to a dinner similar to last year. I’ll send an email to all of you who registered, but if you haven’t signed up yet (what exactly are you waiting for?!) you can be sure that we will organise something.
Same is true for Saturday, we will have our dinner together (if you want). I’m aiming for Finya’s Tavern (that’s where we were last year) if that’s fine for everyone.
I’ll be in Nuremberg on Friday early in the morning, so if you arrive early on Friday or even on Thursday, get in touch and I’ll show you the best coffee places in Nuremberg!
One of our artists, Jose M. García also decided to show up, so you can let him sign your hatamoto playmat or any promo that you might get *cough*.
Represent Your Clan
We’re going to have some clan specific promos planned, so please already register at Tourney Grounds here. It’s enough to register with your clan for now, should you still want to tinker with your deck until the last day before the tournament. This will allow me to order only the promos that are required and save some money. You will also be able to report your own matches on this platform, saving us time.
As the title of this post says, this tournament is the Test of the Pearl Champion. You all are sent by your clans to battle for this title, yet only one may stand victorious. Thus, the winner of the tournament will receive two prizes. On the one hand, they will—together with our story lead—decide on a character who is supposed to be the new Pearl Champion in our lore. On the other hand, they will receive a special version of the Writ of Survey, the Writ issued by the Pearl Champion.
