Corvis' Founding Day Contest

"Oh goody goody. I can hardly wait for the festivities. And see what they've come up with this year. It just seems to get better and wilder every time..."

"Better? For worse! I remember that in my time, we had the Mouse Mallet Madness, with real mice! And the Caroussel of Kisses! With real girls! Well, except for the chariot with the Ogrun, for sure. But that was only a 1 in 16 chance... And even the Ogrun was not too shabby... "

Here's a shot of our winner, Christopher, holding his coveted prizes.

Founding Day

Corvis' Founding celebrations have finished (that's Trineus 25th or Gorim 4th, Trineus for the locals and the 22nd of March for all you foreigners) and like every city in the Iron Kingdoms, Corvis has a wide array of festivities to celebrate such a joyous occasion.

And this is where our readers came in, taking part in the festivities by organising a party, carnival, parade, ball or competition.

Here's the list of all entries we received, with the winners "The Dark Lady's Chase" by Christopher Drake and "Hit the Gobber" by Kenshi. Matt Wilson acted as a tiebreaker, and as promised we sent Christopher the signed copies of both the IK World Guide and the IK Character Guide. And heck, we decided to chime in ourselves and gave Kenshi an IK World Guide too.
