Carnivalis Institute of Jestering is the house converted from the guild of the Jesters, and is headquartered in Delos. It was the last of the guilds to convert to a great house.

Founding

The Jesters Guild was founded in 299 A.F. by a man named Silvestri Carnivalis who was launched over 600 years into the future by a timequake caused by Eris, Goddess of Chaos. Upon his arrival, he found that the art of Jestering was very different from what it was in his time. In fact, it didn't exist. He set out to change this by gathering together a group of adventurers with similar ideals and gathered them around a spot in Delos to have them all chant 'Ramma Lamma Ding Dong'. A short time later, a guildhall fell out of the sky, complete with mirrors, swings, and a duck of the tutor variety. He set out to teach the world what it was to laugh yet again.

Eris, Goddess of Chaos: First truly active divine Patron of the Jesters, called them Her private army in the battle against Greyface.
Pandora, Goddess of Mischief: Patronship of the guild was passed down from Eris to Her daughter, Pandora.
Makali, Goddess of Destruction: In the search for a Patron after Pandora went into a deep slumber, the guild turned to Makali, Goddess of Destruction. The guild was patroned by Makali until She became Maya, Mother of Creation.
Kastalia, Goddess of Rivers and Lakes: After Makali ascended to Maya, the guild continued looking for another Patron. Kastalia was mentioned as a candidate by the departing Makali, and Kastalia was asked and accepted.
Hermes, The Messenger: After Kastalia went into slumber there was a search for a new patron it was mentioned to the House that Lord Hermes would be a good patron for the house. When He was asked He waited a few months and then accepted Patronship of the Carnivalis Institute of Jestering.
