#### Combat Tournaments

Combat tournaments are held throughout the week with hourly tournaments on Wednesdays, and give the knights a chance to compare their fighting performance with knights in other leagues. The tournaments are announced 15 minutes before the hour, and the entry fee is paid in diamonds, with the cost varying for each tournament. The tournament starts at the beginning of the hour and last 30 minutes. The first 25 fights a registered knight does during that time will count towards the tournament and won’t use any energy. Say combat tournament after the half hour is up (and before the next announcement) to hear the results. Learn more about combat tournaments.

#### Hunting Tournaments

Throughout the week and every hour on Mondays, there are hunting tournaments held on the hour in the dark forest. Tournaments are announced 10 minutes before the hour, and knights need to register and be in the forest at the start of the hour. The fee is between 5 and 30 diamonds to enter, and the challenge changes for every tournament. The top 3 participants win a prize, including a wolf bait scroll.

A random hour will be chosen by the King each day during which all opponents in regular arena combat will be randomly chosen.

### Weekly Events

#### Fun Fair

The fun fair runs all day every Tuesday and gives you the chance to spin the wheel of fortune to win different prizes. The King gives out free tickets for the fair occasionally as a reward for winning in the Arena, but you can also pay 5 diamonds to spin the wheel, or buy extra tickets in advance. Prizes include gold, silver arrows, serfs, backpack objects, scrolls and combat bonuses. The chance to win a combat bonus goes up with each consecutive turn.

* Commands: fair; strong; medium; soft or weak

#### Promotion

On Wednesdays, at noon Central European time, the King’s servants evaluate the activities of the knights and determine which ones have earned promotion. All activities in the game count towards your activity level. You can monitor your activity level and combat division progress on the website or in the game using the command my activity. Learn more about combat ranks and the perks you get for each rank.

#### Double Thursday

On Thursdays, you can win double experience, honor points, and order points for arena fights, and can steal double the number of servants from your opponents. Even the King is more generous with his diamond rewards. Experience is also doubled in both the Dark Tower and the dark forest. With the extra experience, levels pile up faster than normal.

#### Knights Games

The knights games run every Saturday, and feature a rotating selection of 3 guilds. Participation costs 25 diamonds, and you choose which guild to join. During the games, all honor points you win will be credited to your chosen guild, and the guild with the most points at the end of the day wins, with all diamonds being shared out among members of the winning guild, along with other prizes (100 order points, and some amount of gold and silver arrows). Members of the second place guild win 50 order points, and a smaller amount of gold and silver arrows, while members of the third place guild win gold. Register on Friday to participate by saying **knights games,** fight as normal on Saturday, and winners are announced on Sunday.

* Commands: knights games to register in advance, and to hear the current score during the games

#### Province Fights

Province fights are held every Sunday, from noon to 10pm Central European time, with the 3 orders competing to capture a different one of the 4 provinces each week. You use province coins to participate, and opponents are randomly assigned, regardless of rank, so you will encounter opponents of MUCH higher and MUCH lower rank than you. Learn more about province fights.

* Commands: province fight or province battle or start province fight; secure tokens or yes; keep fighting

#### Lottery

This isn’t an official event in the game, but every Sunday a user-run lottery drawing takes place. Some weeks it’s a drawing that requires an entry fee (could be diamonds or other objects), while other weeks it’s a free giveaway. Learn more on the lottery website: https://www.rm-lotterie.de/en/

### Seasonal Events

#### Easter Egg Hunt

In the days leading up to Easter, hunters can search for Easter Eggs in the Dark Forest. Each egg contains a hidden surprise, perhaps apples, arrows, thorium shards, or diamonds.

#### Advent Calendar

From the start of December through to Christmas, knights can look forward to opening the Advent Calendar each day and receiving a special gift. Items could include extra energy for double Thursday, or free tickets for the fair on Tuesday. The calendar opens when you first open the skill after the start of a new day (at midnight Central European Time, or locally if you are using your local time zone). In 2023, when the advent calendar opens each night, you can also hear a festive story. (The story is an audio file, so you’ll miss it if you are playing by typing in the app.) Note that the advent calendar is only available once you reach level 50.

#### Elf Hunt

During December 2022, a group of mischievous elves stole the Christmas cookies from the castle, and the King dispatched his loyal knights to hunt them down in the forest. Hunters were able to keep any Christmas cookies they retrieved.

### Special Events

#### Great Trading Competition (March 2023)

Through this competition, the Royal Chamber of Commerce is searching for the best merchant in the kingdom. Only the cleverest and most skilled traders have the chance to win this coveted title. The top three positions are rewarded with diamonds, while the winner of the first place also receives the coveted trophy of the Chamber of Commerce. With the trophy, the winner’s trade shipments will be given priority and thus will be processed much faster by the Chamber of Commerce. Every knight who trades with others automatically participates in the competition. Visit the Castle Garden to review the rules and the current leaderboard.
