Welcome to the Iron Carnival
Following the success of our cross-game event back in December, I’m pleased to announce that the Iron Carnival has arrived!
Run by the irascible Grimbeard and the foppish Percivale, the Iron Carnival was once a star-studded celebration that travelled otherworldly lands, putting on a dazzling show full of games, fairground amusements, and tasty treats. In the modern day, the carnival has fallen into disrepair and the troupe needs your help to restore it to its former glory!
Stroll along the Old Imperial Road where you’ll find the carnival grounds and a task board awaiting your help (IRONCARNIVAL landmark). As you assist with construction, gathering resources, or helping to restore attractions, the carnival will gradually expand as everyone in the Basin of Life pitches in to do their part. All quests come with Iron Carnival tickets and daily credits, and can be repeated once an hour.
How you choose to assist will influence where the carnival’s resources go, effectively allowing the whole of the Iron Realms to collectively decide what attraction opens next. Every five days, the unopened area with the most contributions will be opened and will remain open for exploration for the duration of the event. Once an area is open, you’ll need to bring in the crowds and occasionally calm down the ringmaster.
Full details can be found under HELP IRON CARNIVAL, but attendants can expect a variety of attractions and games, including fortune telling, pie-eating contests, a sideshow and menagerie, paint-pelting clowns, face painting, chain-letter prophecies that go from game to game, and more! Win tickets from your contributions or high scores and obtain a large selection of rewards and trinkets for your effort.
Oh, and while exploring, you may even notice phantasmal spectres of visitors from another world across the Iron Realms. Greet them and your emotes, and perhaps more, will echo across worlds!
The entire Iron Realms team has been working on this cross-game event for the last several months and it’s our pleasure to finally unleash it upon the world! I hope you enjoy it as much as we’ve enjoyed putting it together. Keep checking back to the festival grounds as it expands with every day!
