The Iron Carnival is in town!

Hi folks!

Following the success of our cross-game event back in December, I’m pleased to announce the Iron Carnival!

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!

Pay a visit to v129 just off the Prelatorian Highway, northwest of where you’ll find the carnival grounds and a task board awaiting your help. As you assist with construction, gathering resources, or helping to ensure workers don’t wander too far, the Carnival will gradually expand as everyone in Sapience pitches in to do their part.

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 one of 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 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, and please ensure to read over HELP IRON CARNIVAL as there’s a lot to take in!
