Otori Circus
The famed Otori Circus is known all throughout Delvia. Every child in the continent eagerly awaits the day they see the iconic red and gold tents appear in their village. The circus boasts skilled acrobats, escape artists, and other daring performers. In addition to the main performances, the circus runs a 3 day festival at each stop, complete with musical performances, games, and curio shops.
The circus itself was created in Silver Ridge, Viabuedon, but the original troupe was formed from 5 Fouchili acrobats who had come to the southern country to study the arts together, and the circus' performances and appearance reflect that heritage in every way.
The circus travels in a somewhat random route around Delvia, making its way from northern Zellek down to Nunas and back up to Datfin, then circling back on the east side of Dwinleigh and back through northern Viabuedon and into Zellek before taking an off-season in their native Fouchilia.
Structure
The circus is led and managed by the Ringmaster, a human man by the name of Sadal Detsk. The performers all respect him, and look to him for orders. After that, each style of performance is unique, and they are all considered equal in terms of importance. There is a main performance slot that goes to a different act in each village, and one act is rotated out in the same way.
Culture
The circus has a strict "no animals" policy. They believe the mistreatment of animals in performances is cruel, and have actively lobbied for the use of exotic animals in trained performances to be outlawed in Viabuedon.
Public Agenda
The circus wishes to bring a sense of joy and lightheartedness during the heavy times of war. Their goal is to inspire young minds to break from the status quo and pursue the arts.
