The World of Bulgar's Fantasy Civ Quest

I.GODS and Magic
Old Gods - Interacting with the Old Gods was what the shamans of old did. The relationship was fairly simple - shamans would direct communities in prayer and sacrifice and in return recieve mana from the Elements and the knowledge of how to cast their spells

Storm, Flame, Wind, Earth, Water, Light, Darkness and Ice.
 The magic of the Old Gods was fairly straight forward - each one of them ruled over a domain and their magic was to control said domain - to cast lightning bolts, fireballs, to shine rays of light, to direct the tides etc.
 The Old Gods only ever gave vague visions and did not ever communicate in complex, philosophical manners. You wanted something from them, you paid for it appropriately.

When the Great Storm came, the Old Gods dissapeared. Being the source of the shamans' mana, the shamans lost their magical fuel and could not cast spells. Most of the knowledge was preserved over the generations, from shaman to apprentice, however. As mortals find new sources of magic, the spells of old can once again be cast.

The New Gods of the Pantheon - the New Gods speak to their priests and give them not only magic, but also guidance in how to live a better life and knowledge of how to build a better nation. The New Gods denounce the use of sacrifice and ask instead that their followers follow the laws of the Pantheon, live good lives and offer honest prayers. In return, priests of the Pantheon are able to cast their spells and they recieve mana to use for those spells.

Dragonvigil - On the eve between the 8th and 9th of Kovinar every year henceforth, marking 20 years since the Second Siege of Dominas and its conclusive battle, the Dragonvigil shall be held. A great memorial is being constructed, showing soldiers of the Alliance charging against enemies, with an angel aiding them from above.

Dragonritter - 8 players a side ride a dragon crafted of cloth and other materials that is held up by 5 mages of level 4 standing on the sidelines. It is also possible for them to be on the ground (nonmagical variant) while doing it with the front and back players being responsible for holding the dragon up while the others fight to protect them. They must knock players off the other dragon from 10 feet in the air, onto a cushioned cloth (open for changing what they fall onto). Their weapons are their bodies, and optional sticks known as "claws" if requested.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Titanweight - A ball of smooth molten iron covered in pigskin (titanskin if available for the biannual empire wide tournament), with heaviness variants weighing higher and higher kilogram amounts depending on competitors and what is on hand, are given to a group of 10 contestants. In order to not be eliminated, they must pass the ball over the course of 5 minutes, each one holding onto the ball for less than 10 seconds. Stoman magic is the only magic allowed in these tournaments - note that smaller size balls and different weights can be used for non mages.

ELIMINATION RULES
1. If the ball is thrown and the person it is thrown to does not catch it, the person it is thrown to is eliminated.
2. If there is no clear target for a throw, the thrower is eliminated. (Whether there is a clear target is decided by the judge.)
3. If you drop the ball and it hits the ground, you are eliminated.
4. If you bend the ball in anyway, you are eliminated.
5. If you hold the ball for more than 10 seconds, you are eliminated.

Mageball - Small goals (7x16 feet) are set up 13 feet in the air and have to be scored in by a team of mages, ten a side. The size of the pitch is soccer regulation size, and balls are traditionally made out of inflated leather, with dragonskin balls being used in the biannual Empire wide tournament, the Magebowl. The size of the pitch and number of players emphasizes that physical as well magical strength is needed.

Rules:
1. Only kicks are allowed for goals - magic is allowable for manuevering the direction of the ball in midair though.
2. Both teams start off from their starting line, with a flip of a specially minted dragonsmark deciding who gets the ball first - any team that magically tampers with the coin flip loses by forfeit.
3. Hands and feet may be used to pass.
4. If you score a goal, it is worth 6 points, with only 3 points awarded if the ball was moved by magic.
5. Magic may be used to alter the course of the ball, but not used on the ball itself.
6. A cap of level X must be placed on each team. Both teams must have players with roughly the same levels, with a difference of ~5 in total being the most allowed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dragonmelee - Set up like a traditional volleyball court but roughly 1.5x larger, net and all, there will be one side of 13, and one side of 8, known as the warriors and the dragon respectively. Note that only one ball is in play at any time, and the volleyball net will stretch down to the floor, preventing people from taking it from the other side. Magic being used is also banned.(edited)
The warriors aim is to knock out the members of the dragon one by one (not through throwing the ball which is illegal, but through serves, spikes, and other volleyball moves) until none remain. This must be done quickly though , as the dragon's goal is similar, but they have more offensive power. If the dragon's attack hits no players, the player closest to where it's landed will be eliminated instead. This is designed to make the game fast paced, allowing for multiple rounds within a short timespan.
