What is Bajaröb Naadam?

Bajaröb Naadam is a festival where Au Ra of all walks of life may gather in order to learn more about their diverse culture. Other races who wish to learn more about Au Ra and their cultures and histories are also welcome to participate.It is intended to take place in different locations around Etheirys to welcome and introduce participants to a broad variety of Auri culture within locations that are integral for their history and traditions.

Where does it come from?

The Naadam is a key tradition and one of the main national festivals for the people of Mongolia. It has a long-lasting tradition and history consisting of 3 different sports - wrestling, horse racing, and archery. Mongolian Kings and Generals used the Naadam to train their troops while feasting and celebrating and it has become an annual tradition since 1922.While the main Naadam has a set date during the 11th and 12th of July in the capital city of Ulaanbaatar, many provinces and small towns celebrate their Naadams on different dates. Due to this, many sportsmen travel throughout the country and compete in several competitions during the year.The festival and celebrations themselves have evolved into having big opening and ending ceremonies, parades, markets, and smaller sports competitions next to the three big games. Many offer traditional dishes and Airag (a traditional Mongolian drink) along the sports stadium or at local Naadam locations. Mongolians also use the time around Naadam for trips around the country to scenic places, or having BBQs with their families. Overall, Naadam is a festival to come together and celebrate!

How does the Event take place?

Bajaröb Naadam takes inspiration from the real Naadam and is a 3-day annual event that takes place in a chosen server within FFXIV. The first day will start with a scenic tour from the previous Bajaröb Naadam location to the new one - like passing the torch, so to speak.On either of the 3 Days, one of the main events will take place:- A Combat Tournament
- A Hunt
- A RaceThese events are adjusted to the region to highlight different traditions, cultures, and the local Au Ra Communities.Additionally, there are multiple smaller side events to bring local culture and traditions closer to the audience. These also help to include many other participants, since the entries to the main events are limited. Also, those smaller events are excellent ways to exchange headcanons and lore revolving around your character - sometimes even occurring after the official part of the day is over.After the last scheduled activity on day 3, a closing ceremony will be held, and people and participants are free to mingle or go their separate ways - until the next Naadam is held.

Event Guidelines

To give proper guidelines to our event and to help our community feel safe and comfortable, we have established some basic guidelines for our events. To make it easier to share them during our event, you can find them on a special site here or press to following button:

• Guidelines

Organizers

The event lives from the players and people who join in, bringing it to life. But who is behind the event itself?

Some Funfacts about the organizers...

- None of them are native english speakers

- Besides Lucas, none of them are living in a NA timezone

- Everyone has a different level of RP experience (even after starting Bajaröb!)

- Everyone comes from a different NA Data Center (Zuke = Dynamis, Lucas = Primal, Lamia = Crystal, Yeren = Aether)

FAQ

A collection of reocurring questions about the Event.

What does Bajaröb Naadam mean?

Bajaröb is a word set from the two proto-Mongolian words Bajar [1 joy, feast 2 to be happy, enjoy] and öb [share, allotted part, inheritance]. So Bajaröb roughly means "To Share Joy".
Naadam is the word for festival/games in Mongolian.
Together, Bajaröb Naadam means something like "Festival that shares Joy", or something like that! It highlights the sharing of traditions and cultures among people which should be celebrated and something positive to remember!

Does the event take place in the Azim Steppe?

The first Bajaröb Naadam took place in the Steppe, but after that we let the community decide where they wanted to go and which community should be highlighted. By popular vote the following year we held the next event in the Ruby Sea.
So no, we are not "only" having the event in the Steppe, but we will eventually return!

Q: How can I participate?

The easiest way is to simply be there! Everyone can just come by and take part in the various activities that have been organized by us or by active members of our community!
If you want to participate in our main games you would need to join our Discord and sign up for the game you want to take part in!

Q: Do I need to roleplay during the event?

No! Even though Bajaröb Naadam is designed as a roleplay event, you are not obliged to roleplay at all! You can simply join the crowds and 'watch' the games, listen to the stories, or participate in our smaller activities.
Bajaröb is designed to be beginner-friendly for roleplayers, and also offers room for long-term roleplayers to enjoy the event!

Q: I want to vendor or lead a side activity during Bajaröb. How do I do this?

Join our Discord and ask in the appropiate channel for the event, DM one of our organisers or shoot us a message over on Twitter and we will see if it's possible!

Q: What does your logo symbolize?

Our logo is a mix from the backscales of a Xaela male and a Raen female! It shows that for our event all Au Ra are invited to come, regardless which race or gender they belong to!

Q: Why Au Ra? What about the other races in FFXIV?

We came together because we love Au Ras, but realised that their rich and diverse lore and culture is barely touched upon. While giving us the chance to visit the ancestral home of the Au Ra, it only scratched on the surface of the rich lore! So we came together and decided to have an event to highlight Raen and Xaela the same!
As for the other races in FFXIV - we love and respect ALL races, but due to time, energy and interest for our own characters we can only do a cultural exchange and lore festival for Au Ra. HOWEVER - if you want to plan and organize your own festival for e.g. Viera and need help and guidance, we are more then happy to provide help and support!

For further questions, send us a message on Twitter or join our Discord!

We are aware that we cannot stop players from violating these terms, since the game is an open space and even those that are not partaking in the event can happen to be at the same spot at the same time.If we happen to realise though that a partaker of the event is repeatedly breaking these terms, we will remove them from any event involvement, and encourage players to use the tools they deem necessary on their own terms (mute/block).

Please don't harrass people that have muted/blocked you.

Do not aggreviate people that are disrupting or trolling the event. Do not give them attention. If you find an action that is deemed reportable, inform one of the hosts or a volunteer immediately and if you are taking screenshots as proof make sure that you are not using or have visible third-party tools attached.

Symbolism

We implemented an Icon System to help communication at our Event. This has been based upon a graphic desgined by @badussyexarch from Twitter.

This system is by no means necessary to be used by those visiting our events, but it helps giving on overview how the player can be approached.
Please respect those players that are not using this system!

Hosts and Volunteers

The Icons "Looking to meld Materia" are used by our Hosts (Zuke Eagan, Lamia Daerva, Lucas Draccell and Yerentai Kharliq), and the icon for "Recruiting Party Members" is used by our Volunteers.

Please refrain from using these icons during our event. Thank you.

This icon means that the player is currently roleplaying and will answer and act in-character.

"Greenlight" - Looking for Party

This icon means that the player is open to be interacted with!

"Feel free to approach me for conversation/gpose/trade/RP!"

"You can initiate trade/RP!"

"Redlight" - Busy

This icon means that the player is currently unavailable for any interactions. Please note that the "busy" status may block certain communications such as incoming friend requests and tells. It is basically a "do not disturb" status.

"I'm busy drawing/talking/RPing, I might not respond to you."

Community

Thoughts from the RP Community

Though Bajaröb Naadam is but a once a year big event, a fairly active community was soon born from it and through them, we strive to make the event better for those who have supported us and to foster a welcoming RP circle for both Au Ra community and others. For this, we asked our members how they would describe their experience RPing with others in the Bajaröb Naadam community.

"I would say overall it has been a pretty good one! At the big BN events, the energy and sense on community is amazing and very fun, too! It's pretty easy to find a group of folks to RP with no matter what style of scenes and RP length you do! It's clear a lot of time and care goes into events and such done by the community." - Mut Abha

"My first time attending the Naadam was a weekend filled with mischief, mayhem, and the sweet welcome of wonderful people. I was brand new to the community, and thought that a great way to introduce a character was to have her pickpocket people. In some cases, I was met with no response, or I got a response akin to "you come away with a curious jar of mayonnaise." In other cases, it triggered a cascade of events and shenanigans that carried through all three days. The community took my silliness in stride, and made it a memorable experience for everyone involved, while also making me feel incredibly welcomed to the community. The BN is a place for new and veteran players alike to come together, have fun, and make new friends, and it is built by a community that truly wants to see it succeed." - Nuri Seafog

Tribute Video by Zefros Ul'roth

Nearing the event of Bajaröb Naadam 2024, one member of our community pitched an idea of making a video to celebrate the 2nd year of Bajaröb Naadam: Shiawase-O-Mukaeru. The video was made over the two months prior the event day, starring several characters from members of the Bajaröb Naadam server: Ceinos Amihan, Roku De Borel, Nabau Ganymede, Kalnu Althi, Chizuko Domai, Temujin Kahkol, Aranea Nikos and the staff members.

“The shots used in the video are quite simple but some of them try to reflect the character's personality in subtle ways whether it be through expressions or what have you. I hope I did a serviceable job.” - Zefros Ul’roth, in the making of the video.

The making of the video was a challenge to Zefros considering his busy schedule and thus, he didn’t manage to make the original deadline of the video. So, what was once a video planned to mark the beginning of the three day event became a celebration of the event itself.

When asked the reason for making a tribute video for the event, Zefros spoke candidly:

“I probably would not have gotten into the RP scene as much as I did if I didn't have come to the first Bajarob Naadam. My friends weren't super into RP in this game to begin with and neither was my static. My RP partner at the time even took a break to play other games. I've met friends through the event and some had even shared other interests of mine outside of RP. I am really thankful for this event and I wanted to help or give back in some way but I can't draw or Gpose as well as others. But there was one thing that I took pride in, and that was video making and editing. So I suggested the idea to the organizer as an idea, and they liked it enough to let me do it. And for that I'm thankful.”

Please head over to Zef's Post on X and leave a like, comment and a RT!! Spread this incredible work of tribute - even a second time, in case you already did.

Thank you once again Zefros for this incredible tribute ♥

Bajaröb Naadam

The first Bajaröb Naadam took place in 2023 - in the Azim Steppe, on the festival side of Dhoro Iloh. It was the first gathering of this sort in the land of origin of all Au Ra and home to the Xaela - yet all Au Ra's and everyone else were welcome to join this event!

During the Bajaröb Naadam, 3 main events took place: A brawl to determine the champion of Azim, a hunt to become Bardam's equal, and a race to honour the Duskmother Nhaama.

But not only were these events held; smaller events like sharing stories around a campfire, a quiz to test your Au Ra wits and knowledge and scenic flights also took place - to offer a little bit to everyone who attended.

Day 1 - Azim's Champion

The First Day started with a scenic flight starting from Kugane, through the wide strait of the Ruby Sea, across the mountains towards Reunion - with everyone on their yols. They flew over the vast fields of the Steppe until they reached their destiny: Dhoro Iloh, on the brink of the mountain range of the Towering Still. On the festival grounds of the Namazu the first Bajaröb Naadam took place, and with the opening ceremony complete, the main event was about to start.

On the first day, the tournament “Azim’s Champion” took place, and it was the combat part for this Event! Before the Event we asked people to sign up, and with that the following roster was created:

Fireball Whisky (Eden) - “The Living Miracle”
Zefros Ulroth - “The Rune Fencer”
Arashi Mortuus - “Death’s Storm”
Sidurgu Orl - “Of the Obsidian Heart”
Irwin Cadwell - “Winter’s Herald”
Pyrope Anhura - “Of the Eclipse”

After very intense rounds of fighting we found our Champion:

Arashi Mortuus - “Death’s Storm”

Zefros Ulroth and Pyrope Angura came in for an honorary second and third place. Congratulations!

Just after the second round of the tournament had concluded, the fighters were given time to wind down and prepare for the final rounds. Meanwhile, the visitors were given a small game of Trivia involving facts relating to Au Ra history and funfacts.

And with a closing speech by Zuke, the first day of Bajaröb Naadam came to an end.

Day 2 - Bardam's Hunt

The second day started at Dhoro Iloh and would focus on one of the greatest Heroes of the Steppe - Bardam. Participants are tasked to face some of the fiercest beasts that are roaming around the Steppe, and bring proof of their success.

The participants of the hunt were as follows:

Maral Khatayin
Arashi Mortuus
Temujin Kahkol
Alduin Ro
Mut Abha

To determine the winner, every participant needed to retell their encounter as exciting, thrilling and best as possible to the audience - and they would choose who would be worthy of being Bardams best.

And the most thrilling story of their hunt was told by

Alduin Ro!

Alduin also did a mini series for their hunt:

The side activity for this day were the bonfire stories. Anyone who was willing and wanted to share a story of their tribe, of their origin or a tale about and around the Steppe was invited to speak in front of the crowd. Many followed that offer and so a lot of interesting and personal stories were told. It sparked conversation and comments within the audience and soon, many grew fond of such activities to this day.

And with the conclusion of the hunt and activity, the second day neared it's end - with the third and last day on the horizon.

Day 3 - Nhaama's Flight

On Day 3 participants would race along the Steppe to honor Nhaama. They would fly on their yol on a determined path and the fastest one would win this competition.

The racers that participate were:

Kaine Daemon
Altan Tumet
Aranea Nikos
Finch Fletcher

And the roaring winner was

Aranea Nikos with Senu!

The Cultural Exchange began with others sharing their headcanons and findings about Au Ra. Be it sharing the languages they could be using from real life studies of language in historical manners, some headcanons regarding one of the Xaela tribe in the Steppe, and more. It was an event meant to help others share their ideas of Au Ra, whether it be fanon or not, and to better expand or promote ways of expanding more ideas for your wol/oc.

After the Main event took place, the closing ceremony concluded the first Bajaröb Naadam, with the promise to make it happen again!

Bajaröb Naadam presents:

Shiawase-O-Mukaeru

The second Bajaröb Naadam took place in the Ruby Sea. Under the title “Shiawase-o-Mukaeru”, the Naadam traveled to the home of the Raen in Sui-no-Sato.

We had 3 main events: A tournament to honor Susano, a Scavenger Hunt for the Secret of the Ruby Sea, and a race among the Tides of Shishui!
Additionally, many side events and activities took place next to the main events, and vendors had a chance to have a stall at the festival area in Sui-no-Sato!

For the first time, we also had the help from volunteers. Without them, some events would have been much more difficult to realize. Many thanks to our helpers in need:

Altan Khatayin
Temujin Kahkol
Alduin Ro
Naji ShiningscaleWe also had commentary done by the wonderful Rokuro de Borel! They were so gracious and did commentary for the tournament and the hunt. For day 3, Rokuro was busy with one of the side events, which was also dear to their heart. Altan Khatayin helped out and provided commentary for Day 3!

Still to this day we are very grateful for all of your support and help! Thank you so much!

After the main event, the closing ceremony concluded the second Bajaröb Naadam, promising to return again in 2025!

Day 1 - Champions of Revelry

The first day of the event began with a scenic Yol Flight. We gathered at the Reunion in the Steppe and flew around the ancestral home of the Au Ra. We made our way through the mountains and continued our journey through Yanxia, highlighting the path that the Auri took when venturing out of the Steppe.
Finally, we arrived at our destination: the Ruby Sea. After we flew around the wide and open sea, we traveled to Onokoro for the opening ceremony.

From there, we walked towards the Coral Banquet where the "Champions of Revelry" began.

Brave warriors enlisted in the tournament - among them was the celebrated Azim's champion of Bajaröb Naadam 2024, Arashi Mortuus, there to defend his title. Many other familiar names can be found in the roster:

Alduin Ro - The Bleeding Dawn
Mut Abha - Ulaan Luu
Zefros Ulroth - Werlyt’s Snow Prince
Arashi Mortuus - Death’s Storm
Aranea Nikos - Byakko’s Champion
Bjalfi Dracomire - The Wandering Vanguard
Klanu Althi - Melody of Life
Telenis Qestir - Scourge Curse

The tournament had different rules compared to last time, so even our returning warriors had something to look out for! The fights were intense, with many twists and unpredictable outcomes!

And in the end, one was able to defeat them all. The Champion of Revelry is

Bjalfi Dracomire

With Zefros Ulroth coming in second (again) and Telenis Qestir becoming third!

After the tournament concluded, we took a secret passage through the Ruby Sea to have the crowning ceremony for our champions in the bubble of Tamamizu. After the ceremony, we ventured out into the depths of the sea and headed for the city to hold this year's Bajaröb Naadam event: Sui-No-Sato.

After everyone arrived and settled down, it was time for a special side event. A new bond blossomed after last year's main events between our Champions of Azim and Nhaama. We were honored to have their bonding ceremony at this year's Bajaröb Naadam, presided over by none other than Lucas Draccell, one of the organizers. A beautiful full circle moment of their love to where it all began.

Congratulations once again to Aranea Nikos and Arashi Mortuus, the newlywed couple! ♥

Once the bonding ceremony concluded, day 1 officially came to an end. The couple was free to celebrate the whole day and night, and together we waited for day 2.

Day 2 - Hunters of the Ruby Secret

The hunt this year was designed differently from the previous: instead of hunting ferocious monsters, the hunters were tasked to find the secret of the Ruby Sea in a scavenger Hunt! It was a test of their skill and mind, though admittedly they needed to slay some creatures as well.
Another change in the rules was that participants were highly encouraged to sign up as a duo!

These skillful hunters applied to search for the secret:

Viln’ir Jrm’ngandr & Kilef Qestir - Dumplin’s Darlings
Eabani Meszid & Joraal Aegis
Isa Iriq & Louistiaux Aurifort - The Moogle Plush
Dyre Winterheart & Altira Haragin
Nan’to Vaadrage
Zefros Ulroth & Imyrr Mournblade - Deep Sea City Underground

The search for the Ruby Secret began with a Haiku - and our Hunters were off to search for their destination!
Let it be known we didn't make it easy for them, and their 'targets' were well hidden in the nooks and crannies of the Ruby Sea. But we didn't leave them alone - if they needed help, they could request hints via Link Pearl. This would be reflected in the overall scoring though...After 3 hours, we called them all back to Sui-no-Sato, tallied up the points, and found a winner:

Nan’to Vaadrage!

With Zefros Ulroth & Imyrr Mounrblade (Deep Sea City Underground) being Second... again!! Congratulations!

Honorary mention goes out to our volunteers, who helped made this event possible! Thank you once again!

Altan Khatayin
Temujin Kahkol
Alduin Ro
Naji Shiningscale

As side activities, we had a glamour walkway through Sui-No-Sato, where everyone could present their best glam with the theme "Sailing the Ruby Seas". And for those who are not much into fashion but more into bloodlust, we had our Crystalline Conflict Tournament!

Soon after everyone returned to Sui-No-Sato, the official part of the 2nd day came to a close, with the last day of Shiawase-no-mukaeru soon to be upon us.

Day 3 - Tides of Shisui

The last day of Shiawase-O-Mukaeru was packed with events! The main event was the "Tides of Shisui" race, which led our racers around the Ruby Sea. However, this wasn't going to be smooth sailing! Various obstacles stood between them and the finish line.
Side events of this day included a fishing competition, a jumping puzzle mini-game, and the Shrine of Stories took place.There was definitely a lot to do and an experience for every participant and visitor who came by.

At the break of dawn in the Ruby Sea, the racing event took place. The spotlight was not only on the racers but also on their trusty steeds!
The following racers signed up:

Finch Fletcher & Coin
Wayward Sol
Erielle Moirai & Melos
Joraal Aegis & Island Gator
Primi Dotharl & Rock

The race did not only rely on their skill and their mount's endurance but also a little bit of luck! The winner of this race was

Joraal Aegis & Island Gator!

Second was Finch Fletcher with Coin!

Once again, thanks to our volunteers who awaited our racers at their checkpoints and helped run this event!

Once the crowning ceremony was done, and everyone had gathered back in Sui-no-Sato, the side events for the day started. People had the chance to participate in a jumping puzzle mini-game within the caves of Tamamizu.
A fishing contest was also held. However, it ended up in a rare draw, among skilled fishers!
There's one side-event that everyone looked forward to, the Shrine of Stories, where Auri from Sui-no-Sato shared their tales, myths, and legends.

Afterwards, the head organizer, Zuke Eagan, gave his closing speech. Everyone who was still present was invited to join the Ruby Voyage by getting on an aquatic-themed mount of their choice. After a scenic tour around the Ruby Sea, the voyage would conclude in Kugane.

With this, Shiawase-O-Mukaeru had officially concluded. Where will the next Bajarob Naadam occur?

Bajaröb Naadam presents:

Hăo Péng Yŏu

Materia, Zurvan
March 7th - 9th
Ruby Sea -> Yanxia, Doma

Introduction of Doma - Yanxia

While the Steppe had been home to an abundance of Xaela Au Ra, Doma has been known as the motherland to predominantly Raen families with many cultures and common clan names spoken of in Hingashi. As such, many of the Auri culture within Doma become part of tradition and culture accepted by all and when the nation has found its independence once more, they were now free to celebrate such tradition and events. What better way to hold such celebration to those of Doma and foreigners alike than to hold one within the Enclave and Yanxia? A sound idea approved by many including Doma's King and trusted shinobi.

The very first Day of Hăo Péng Yŏu starts of with the traditional Flight from the last station of Bajaröb Naadam to the new one. Therefore we are gathering in Kugane (since Bajaröb Naadam 2024 ended there) and do a scenic flight around the Ruby Sea and the Azim Steppe, with ending in our new place of the Event: Yanixa.
There, the following Events will take place:

Main Event "Feats of the Blademaster"
Crowning Ceremony of the Champion
Opening Ceremony
Storytelling Event

For this year's tournament, we are using the Dynamis Stack Fight System, which was kindly provided by Zefros Ul'roth.

Day 2 - Feats of the Shadowseeker

- March 8th, 6PM EST -

Many Auri families among the Shinobi clans have mastered skills in subterfuge and resourcefulness. In times when tyranny looms over Doma, they would act fast and help the people overthrow such threat in power. A relic hunt would be held to test those who think themselves capable of attaining such feats that Auri Shinobi are capable of.

Day 3 - Feats of the Falcontamer

- March 9th, 6PM EST -

Just as those in the Steppe have claimed Yols as a mount worthy of warriors, many Au Ra in Doma too have grown fond of keeping Falcons of their own. Whether it be for transport between valleys and villages deep in the mountains or to race among one another. A falcon race would be held to those who wished to experience a race through the mountains of Yanxia and challenge themselves against the strong winds of the valley.

With many venture points around the track everyone can watch our brave racers flying through the tall mountains of the Gensui Chain.But even if the end of the Event draws near, we still have something up on our sleeves:Crystalline Conflict Competition
Ending Ceremony
Scenic Flight back to KuganeThis Scenic Flight in particular will be a most precious one, since we will say 'good bye' to Othard and Hingashi, since this will be our last event in the Far East (for now).
It is time to spread the joy and word of Bajaröb Naadam to new shores!
