Technomancy Fair

Artificers, wizards, and general craftsmen spend many weeks working on a project for the Technomancy Fair. The Technomancy Fair is an event held around the end of Summer, where these people present what they have been working on. Many young inventors propel themselves into stardom through this event, and one success at the Technomancy Fair is enough to retire off of.

Hosts
The Technomancy Fair is held by the clergy of the gods ONE and TWO. The followers of these deities occasionally recieve divine sparks of inspiration, and will enter the contest as well. To keep things fair, inventors from across the world can enter, and a panel of judges is created using noncompetitors. The winner of this contest will get a deal to mass produce their design, as well as 10,000 gold pieces. This event has changed many lives, propelling the designer into fame and wealth.

You don't have to enter the fair to benefit; aspiring businessmen watch these fairs and will fund designs that they believe in, allowing both parties to make money and follow their dreams. Thieves also profit from this event as the amount of theft within the city increases, as jealous creators and general scum attempt to steal these very valuable designs and creations. As a result, mercenaries and guards are hired specifically for the event.

Notable Inventions
Notable creations that were first displayed at a Technomancy Fair include airships, firearms, a driftglobe(which was promptly lost, along with designs), and oddly enough the tuba. Some designs are shown, but are simply unethical or extremely difficult to produce, such as a device that perpetually harvests a live cow for meat. The creator of that design was put in prison for such savagery.

Racing
Not only are there inventions displayed at this event, but there are also races. Teams of up to 6 people may work together on the construction of a mechanical animal which is then entered into a race. Betting is extremely popular for this game, and the races continue for four days. Alterations are allowed in-between races, which means that race results vary between days. These constructs display a mixture of mechanical prowess and arcane talent, and are marvels of engineering for young inventors.

The most popular animals are horses and bulls, but the winning creature for the past four years was a frog. Attempts to reproduce this frog have all failed, and the creators won’t reveal the secret to it. The creators are from the school of GOD within MAIN CITY, and it is a closely guarded secret.
