2024 Sweet ChallengesEvent will run from March 14th to April 14th 2024.
The date for the Rune Wraith raffle & store release has been shifted to between the 16-19th of April to give admins time to log entries.
Welcome to the first annual set of Sweet Challenges! This is an annual spring event where we challenge players to create artwork, stories, or roleplays responding to a set of prompts to further develop your characters. Unlike the Spooky Challenges, these are not competitive categories; prizes are awarded for participation, and up to four tickets into a raffle for a new ☠ slot, Rune Wraiths, may be earned by submitting at least one entry into each category.
To read more about the individual rules and requirements of each challenge, check out the different headings below. The Heron Queen’s EncoreQueen Tuonetar’s festival is a triumph!
Curtains close on the Maddox theatre festival, bringing two months of festivities to an end. Despite a Xocrian plot nearly interrupting the celebrations, the festival ultimately ended up being successful, giving visitors from across the Realm a new appreciation for Padwell’s culture and people.
Behind the scenes, Padwell has taken three Xocrian agents prisoner after putting a quick end to their plot to take the life of Queen Tuonetar. Over the weeks that follow, they arrange an exchange of prisoners with Xocrium, using their captives to bring lost Redwings agents home. The Heron’s BalladEvent will run from December 1rst 2023 to January 31rst 2024, with catch-up until February 7th.
In the winter of 506, Padwell hosts a magnificent theatre festival in its capital, to celebrate its culture and impress several important guests invited from abroad. The country’s best performers - as well as many of its worst - have gathered upon its streets to show off their skills.
While the influx of foreign guests makes for a merry atmosphere in Maddox, darker concerns linger beneath. The Redwings fear that some visitors with less-than-pure intentions may have slipped in as well, and are working hard to make sure that no one takes advantage of the festival to strike at Padwell’s heart.

In the Realm’s far north lies a forbidding, icy continent known as the Frozen Gates. Long unexplored due to its extreme climate and dangerous magical phenomena, it was once the home of the ancient moonvipers… and in more modern times, the birthplace of aggressive beasts made of living ice.
That might begin to change soon. Following an unusually cruel winter that saw ice monsters attack Dutoria’s northern cities, scholars from Dutoria, the Land of Rivers and Xocrium have worked together to organize the Aurora Expedition: the most ambitious attempt to explore the Frozen Gates so far. They will travel into the icy continent in high summer, and do their best to unlock its many secrets. It will be no easy feat, and so the Expedition looks to hire extra hands to improve their odds of success. The Captains’ CarnivaleMeridian’s Triumph.
Weeks of partying passed in a cacophony of colour and noise, but when the Carnivale’s energy eventually wanes, a clear winner emerges from amongst the competing Captains; Captain Meridian. Celebrated by the people of the Drifting City, Meridian leaves the Carnivale with new allies and resources.
But while fortune favours Meridian, one Captain is not so lucky even as to be able to leave the city... The Captains’ CarnivaleEvent will run from April 2nd to May 17th.
Each year hundreds of people flock to the Drifting City to celebrate the supposed birthday of Captain Aleutian, the first Pirate Queen. Credited with guiding the southerners to safety in the Whaletooth Archipelago centuries ago and founding the role of Pirate Queen, Aleutian is one of the most significant figures in the Archipelago’s history. The day that she came into the world is marked with appropriate gusto, and the ensuing party can last for over a month.
During times when no Pirate Queen rules the Archipelago, it is customary for those who wish to follow in Aleutian’s footsteps to try to win support by hosting their own event at the Carnivale. Siege of the NorthThe North Keeps (& what’s next in RoS!)
Though the citizens of Dura are forced to retreat into the North’s Keep to survive the ice monster onslaught, the old fortress’ walls hold firm, and they are able to endure the worst of the winter. In the aftermath of the siege, a life is lost and a strange mural is discovered in the depths of the Keep…
