A tale as old as time...

In a fit of questionable holiday cheer, ol' papa Ironbeard gave his favorite helper Barry a little too much leeway for a special project, and now he needs YOUR assistance to keep the celebrations alive.

Throughout the month of December, this year's Winterflame event will let you send anonymous gifts and custom festive messages to players not only here in our own sector, but across all of the Iron Realms games.

Earn up to 10 wrapping papers per day by completing Daily Credits, then wrap up something generous, lovely, or just plain silly and help spread Cheer! You'll also get Iron Coins for your efforts which you can spend in the special event shop in the Winterflame Fair grounds.

Presents are delivered in waves roughly once every hour, so keep an eye out, you never know when something strange (or suspiciously well-wrapped) might land in your hands. Opening your gift will grant you a present, as well as a random buff or reward. Gifts from the "Creature" category will have new mobs from the other games for a new experience to even our most seasoned vets.

As players from each of the games send out gifts, you will collectively fill a global cheer meter as noted in WINTERFLAME STATUS. Every present nudges it higher, so be warned - A perfectly cheery sector might draw some malicious intent from some powerful, arguably mythical figures...

Senders will also earn milestone rewards as they help Ironbeard with his deliveries, receiving special prizes when they reach 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 presents sent.

Every present you send also grants you a ticket in the Winterflame lottery. At the end of the event, three lucky winners from each game will receive credit prizes:
- 1st prize: 1000 credits
- 2nd prize: 500 credits
- 3rd prize: 250 credits

Everyone who sends a gift becomes eligible to receive gifts as well, so the more people who take part, the more Winterflame cheer will be flying around the worlds.

Make sure you read HELP WINTERFLAME for full details on how to get involved, what you can send, and the commands you will need.

Oh! As if that wasn't enough, you'll get a Rainbow Present for every 10 hours you spend in game with us this month, up to 8 rainbow gifts. Remember each gift you open will share the rewards with everyone in the room!

Start stocking up on wrapping paper and get ready to surprise your fellow adventurers.

With that, Winterflame has officially begun!
