Introduction
Greetings, fellow knights! Welcome to the third and final installment of the Almirian Restoration Project! Once again I will require the power of YOU to help Almire be great again! For those who are uninitiated, this is a giveaway event that celebrates the Almirian Empire! In years past, all you had to do was dress up as a crusader and you won prizes. This time around, you will need to do much more than simply dress up. You will have to prove your worth by entering our homeland (FSC) and completing various difficult, and hopefully fun, tasks. Share your love for the empire and win prizes along the way!
TL;DR
• Wear crusader gear and do objectives listed below to be entered into a giveaway.
• You need 15 out of 30 points to be entered into the giveaway. You can do more to gain a bonus perk (limited supply).
• You will be sending heaps of screenshots to Manlet through Discord. I will suffer.
Discord
If you need help finding a group for Vana runs or Shadow Lairs or even help making your Almirian set, try out the Discord! Myself and others are more than willing to help you reach your goals so don't hesitate to ask around!

DO REALIZE THAT THERE IS A CHANCE NOT EVERYONE WILL BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE! WITH ONLY 100 AVAILABLE ENTRANTS, THIS MAY BE A RACE! START EARLY OR YOU MAY BE LEFT BEHIND!
Rules
• You must be a Vanguard. Exceptions will be made for certain veterans.
• You must wear a full set of crusader attire [as a costume]. The following gear are allowed:
• Almirian Crusader Helm
• Almirian Crusader Armor
• Storm, Rage, or Frenzy Crusader Helm
• Storm, Rage, or Frenzy Plate Mail.
• You are welcome to mix and match the above items.
• There will be a hard cap of 100 entrants.
• Participants will only be eligible for 1 prize each UNLESS we do not reach capacity. If capacity is not met, there is potential for a few knights to walk away with at least 2 prizes.
Objectives
• You are to complete various quests in Vana's lair and send screenshots of your deeds.
• Quests will offer various points based on difficulty. A total of 15 points out of 30 possible are required to participate in the event.
• You must be wearing the approved outfits for screenshots to count.
• While your allies do not need to wear a crusader set, it is advised as some screenshots will require others to wear a crusader set.
• The first 20 knights to complete all objectives will gain the ability to decline their prize wheel win one time. This means if you were to win a Cracked Forge Box you can choose to reject it permanently for the rest of the event, allowing you to earn potentially better items. Do realize there is still the possibility to get very bad luck and roll two bad items. Blame RNGesus, not me.
• Knights are strongly encouraged to help each other. Please help your fellow knights!
Screenshot Format
• DM Manlet on Discord (m4n1e7) to send screenshots. Reply with your in-game name first.
• Provide a brief description of your screenshot. Depth and objective work fine. Ex. "7 stones," "5 trojans," D27 statue," etc.
• Each person is responsible for their own screenshots. I don't care if four people are always running with each other, all four will send their own shots.
• If screenshot is adequate, a check mark reaction will be given.
• If screenshot is not adequate, an "X" mark reaction will be given, with notes.
• Do not edit your screenshots. Submissions must be of your entire screen. Any weird cropping will require a redo.
• If screenshots are suspected of being doctored or tampered with, perpetrators and known associates will be banned from the event. Don't ruin the fun for your friends.
When
From July 14 until July 24 11:59PM CST, knights will be able to start working on objectives towards the event.
The award ceremony will be conducted on July 25, 2026 at 11AM CST! This hour is to accommodate as many time zones as possible, mainly our European, Asian, and Australian knights. The ceremony may take as long as two hours depending on the amount of entrants. I will try to not waste time and go fast.
Where
Gurren Dan Guild Hall! In the event that things get too laggy in here, adjustments will be made on the day of the event.
How
Once you achieve 15 points, you will be registered into the giveaway/raffle. On the day of the awards ceremony, you must be present and in uniform to pick up your prize or suffer penalties. Failure to do so will result in earning the lowest possible prize regardless of what the wheel says. For example, if you win a Twilight Aura but are not present, you will be mailed a Cracked Forge Box instead and the Twilight Aura will be rerolled to someone else.
