Carnivalis

The Carnivalis family is a bloodline famous for its development of the art of Jestering. Their history spans from at least the third cycle of the Ashtan-Shallam Wars to the fall of the Seleucarian Empire. The Carnivalises are also remembered for teaching the art of Tarot to the Occultists, having harboured them along an underground railroad during the Burning Times. Arguably the most well-known member of this family was Silvestri Carnivalis, the former court jester of Catarin deSangre whose one-way trip into the Modern Age by way of a timequake led to the reestablishment of the Jester class and guild.

Being the forebears of all Jesters, the Carnivalises lend their name to many Jester-related things: the Carnivalis blackjack and Carnivalis Institute of Jestering, among others.
