To help celebrate the holidays, the iconic celebrant of the Iron Realms, Ironbeard, will be giving out gifts again. He will start his gift giving at 0:01 on Friday, December 24th, and will continue giving away gifts until 23:59 GMT on Saturday, January 1st.

The gifts that Ironbeard distributes contain gold, useful items, and you even have a chance to receive an artifact. Ironbeard's gifts are random, so don't get too angry if you don't get what you want. That's what random means!

Imperian will also have a series of exciting OOC games during the week of Christmas and New Years Eve. These games will have bound credit prizes available to all participants. The prizes will be:

1st place: 100 credits
2nd place: 90 credits

I've tried to schedule these game with some varying times, to maximize the potential for somebody to be able to participate in at least one game.
