Siege of the North
This event will run from December 1rst 2022 to January 31rst 2023.
The dark of polar night creeps across the Realm’s far north and will cloak the land in unending twilight until the coming of spring. Though the people of Dutoria are no strangers to winter, the cold winds and snowstorms blowing down from the Frozen Gates are chilling…
…But they are soon to find that cool winds aren’t the only thing coming down from the north. Creatures of living ice, as inexorable as the crushing weight of glaciers rolling across the landscape, have swept down in numbers never before seen. Citizens flee their homesteads to shelter behind the great walled cities of the north, many reminded of not-so-distant days when they had to flee aggressors from the seas. The city of Dura closes its gates behind the last farmer as what, from a distance, appears to be dozens of scuttling icebergs begins to take shape on the horizon. Together, Dura’s elites and commoners alike will try to fend off the horde of ice monsters for the winter, hoping to hold out until the worst passes; should they fail, cities further south may be threatened as well. 2022 Halloween Challenges Winners!

Accepting applications from August 12th to September 20th 2022.
Hello RoS members!
As the title of this blog post might suggest, we’ve reached the point where the team feels as though it’s necessary to bring on more admins to keep things running smoothly. It’s been a long time coming, but with luck having more helpers around will allow us to get major events done faster, keep up with day-to-day management of the group, and get Story Mode out faster. Joining the RoS team is a responsibility; we don’t expect you to give up all your free time, but we hope you’ll at least have an hour or two a week to offer for your admin duties, or at least enough spare time to help out on a regular basis. That being said - if you have an emergency, just need a break, or you’re going to be on a trip/hiatus for a while, that’s perfectly fine; just let us know beforehand. We also require admins to have a Discord, Google and DeviantArt account, as all admin work is done there. Depending on your role you might not need to use all of these, but please have them ready when submitting an application. There are a few roles we’re looking for applications for, each with distinct tasks and responsibilities! Keep reading to learn more about them. Wrath of the Sun King

The Return of the Seraphim
After the Isle of Ghosts was rediscovered by the rest of the Realm and became a point of conflict between the windwyrms and the nation of Ironbrook, its longtime inhabitants, the surviving Seraphim, feared the worst… but thanks to the assistance of sympathetic outsiders, they were able to ease tensions on the Isle and make contact with the leaders of the various foreign factions.
Some open fighting between the windwyrms and Brookian soldiers occurred before this could happen, and although both sides took casualties, neither were able to claim victory over the other, and they reluctantly settled down after outcry from those within their own camp. Following much discussion between the Seraphim’s leader, Lady Three-Eyes, and those in charge in the Northern and Eastern Camps, an agreement was made that would decide the fate of the Isle of Ghosts and its inhabitants; the Seraphim would remain as the neutral wardens of the Isle, and small parties from Ironbrook and the windwyrm kingdom would be allowed on its shores, provided they promised not to cause trouble. A secondary agreement was reached with the scholars of the stormherald Societies, allowing for them to continue their research into Elder Drake and windwyrm history on the Isle, provided in exchange they provide teaching for the residents of the Inner City. Peace is established, and, gradually, the two camps disperse and go on their way. As they leave, for the first time in over a century, the heavy clouds of fog over the Isle of Ghosts disperse, and sunlight falls undimmed upon its rocky shores.
