Winter is slowly receding and mid-February is already on the calendar, which means that Valentine`s Day is approaching - the day of everyone in love.
One of the versions of the holiday origin says that it goes back to the days of the harsh rule of the Roman Emperor Claudius II. In those days, the empire was involved in numerous bloody wars, which people did not have much love for. Claudius the Cruel-hearted could not recruit soldiers for his legions. And he was sure: the reason was that the men did not want to leave their beloved at home. As a result, Claudius banned all betrothals and marriages in Rome.
And at that moment the Christian priest Valentine stood up to defend love. He began to hold marriages in secret despite the emperor`s ban. When Claudius was informed of such a violation of the decree, Valentine was seized and locked up, where he spent the rest of the days until his death on February 14, 270 AD.
Valentine`s Day, like Christmas, combines pagan rituals and Christian traditions. When the Romans conquered the British Isles, they brought with them the idea of this holiday, and the ancient Britons adopted it from them. After the conversion to Christianity, the Lupercalia festival was moved back one day and combined with the celebration of Valentine`s Day on February 14th.
To pay tribute to this legend, a loving heart will appear in all cities, which will bring a gift every 12 hours.
Skillful blacksmiths also forged copper roses, which are necessary to decorate the Queen`s Winter Residence. Unfortunately, evil thieves have stolen the flowers and now you have to collect them in order to raise the Winter Residence to a new level.
The love that is in the air these days intoxicates the brave heads of the knights who are ready for anything, even to take part in a fight.
The tavern opens its doors to all willing heroes to compete in fistfights.
The total points limit for the hero`s participation is 182000.
Adventure seekers and lovers of quiet hunting can take part in the
Cupid competition. The little angel scattered his arrows, wings, halo and other attributes across the temporary quest locations.
This competition also announces a
mid-server competition with a valuable prize for the top 20 players.
And the top 3 mid-servers will receive a bonus point.
We remind you that in order to get into the top 20 you need to meet the following condition:
When identifying winners for the mid-server, a special coefficient will be applied.
The number of artifacts found by the player must be greater than the number of collected tables multiplied by 5.
The use of this formula allows players who have really spent a lot of effort on collecting to get a worthy prize. At the same time, the players who took the easier path will remain outside the Top.
In the gift shop you can also find a
special valentine.
This valentine can be sent as a gift to the player you love, appreciate, and cherish. But you should remember about a number of conditions:
1. Valentine`s card is available for a gift only 1 time. It means it can only be gifted once. After sending, the opportunity to present it to another player disappears.
2. A valentine can be opened only once, even if you have received several valentines;
3. Leftover valentines cannot be traded or sold.
