This page is about the House. For other uses, please see Jesters (disambiguation).

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, a duck of the tutor variety, and a humgii named Jaws. He set out to teach the world what it was to laugh yet again.

Inhabitants

Mr. Quackers, the Duck resides within the House estate and exists as their tutor.

Jaws, a furry humgii, resides within the Carnivalis Institute of Jestering. Like other members of her kind, she will eat anything that is given to her. Unlike the others, however, she wears a jingling jester's cap and bell-tipped slippers.

Eleanor, the Pink Elephant, resides within the Carnivalis Institute of Jestering. Thoroughly rose pink in colour, with a baby blue feather boa around her neck, the gaiety with which she trundles about, despite her massive trunk, feet, and ears, is enough to make anyone doubt his or her sobriety.
