During the medieval Summer Solstice, people gathered to celebrate the longest day of the year with music, dancing, and great feasts. Villagers decorated their homes with flowers, oak leaves, and fresh greenery believed to bring good fortune and protection. Large bonfires were lit on hilltops, and people sang, danced, and leapt over the flames for luck and health. Herbalists collected special midsummer plants, as it was believed their healing powers were strongest on this magical night. Communities stayed awake until dawn, enjoying games, storytelling, and festivities beneath the stars.
May the spirit of the Summer Solstice bring warmth, joy, and abundant harvests to all.
In honor of this festival - from June 18st to July 9th, you will find new items, promotions, games, and special offers!

We announce a festive lottery for all purchases made from 18.06 to 09.07 23:59.
The grand prize on each server will be a 11k purchase and a special Wood House location.

There are also many prizes of varying values. Every participant will receive a guaranteed prize for participating. As usual, the drawing process will be filmed and posted on the YouTube channel.
The grand prize winner will be required to make an unboxing video and post it on the forum.

FESTIVE ATMOSPHERE
In all cities where there is a free tile of sand or grass, a special festive tree - Oak - will appear. From time to time, the Oak lights up with colorful ribbons and gives its owner a gift. Visit your Oak regularly and enjoy the gifts you find! Among the gifts, you can discover resources, artifacts, unique soldiers, gold, and diamonds.

NEW TEMPORARY SOLDIERS


During the celebration, old acquaintances will appear in the game – the Huntsman, Mounted Huntsman, and Greenwood Archer. Soldiers can be obtained from the mini-game, purchased in promotions, or received as gifts. The soldiers will serve until September, after which they will be automatically removed.

MINI GAME - FESTIVE TABLE

The mini-game "Festive Table" – it is time to prepare for the holiday and set the table for guests! To complete the task, you need to collect special artifacts that can be obtained from exploring temporary locations. The acquired artifacts need to be placed in the appropriate slots on the festive table. Once all parts are in place, the player receives the specified reward. The reward list can be changed for gold.

Statistics are kept for each player on how many festive tables have been set. At the end of the holiday, the TOP 10 best players will receive a prize. You can check your position in the top list in the TOPS statistics.

The "Festive Table" mini-game also features an inter-server competition!
The TOP-25 best players across all servers who score the most points in the mini-game will receive valuable prizes: the city of Manzanares, a bonus point, a bonus location, and other various gifts.

We remind you that to get into the top-25, you must meet the following condition:
When determining the winners for the inter-server competition, a special coefficient will be applied.
The number of artifacts found by the player must be greater than the number of tables set multiplied by 6.
Applying this formula allows players who have genuinely put in a lot of effort to collect artifacts to receive a worthy prize. This time the coefficient for participating in the inter-server competition is also 6.
However, this time the number of artifacts found by the player will be taken into account. Thus, if a player found 600 artifacts, this will correspond to 100 tables, even if they have actually set 200 tables.
If this number of tables (i.e., 100) is sufficient to receive the inter-server prize, the player will get it.

SUMMER COLLECTION
Janisovy Eve - Herbal (or Green) day, on this day, girls and women collected flowers and medicinal herbs, which at this time are especially rich in vitamins: clover, sage, chamomile, mint, valerian, St. Johns wort.
