The first community event
The cleansing of Fårö
Since the start of Imperia Borealis, Fårö players have not been able to settle on the island of Fårö, north of the main island.
The real reason for this has been technical. We simply didn't have a system for how to get to and from Fårö, especially for new players. We did not want a situation where a new player wasn't able to interact with the world, and other players due to having picked "the wrong" parish.
With the upcoming community event: The cleansing of Fårö, we introduce new systems for getting to and from Fårö and instead of just dropping it in as a new feature, we wanted to do something special to tie the new update, and the opening of Fårö as a playable parish, to the in game lore of Gotland.
Thus the event.
The event
The cleansing of Fårö is all about the friction between the christian faith and the aesir. Rifts to the underworld has opened up on Fårö, corrupting the island, and both faiths want to be the ones to cleanse it.
At the end of the event, the faction that have closed more rifts will be the victorious one. But each player will also be rewarded for their individual contribution throughout the event.
This is a fun way for us to both introduce Fårö, but also to build the scaffolding for future events. We want to be able to run all sorts of mini events during the seasons and having a strong framework to do so is valuable to us.
