==Summary==
King Iaric IV of Prevalia invites all citizens of the realm to The King's Faire! Celebrating the strength and unity of Prevalia for over 70 years, the King's Faire has brought generations together amidst hardship and turmoil to revel and put aside their troubles.
Welcome to the world renowned King's Faire, bringing fun and frivolity for all! Join other players and compete in carnival style games for special rewards or just kick back and enjoy a festival snack!


Originally held by King Calym III beginning in the years following the tyrannical rules of the Mad Emperors and the sacking of Lower Prevalia, the King's Faire was a way to help heal the suffering and pain of the Prevalian people, as well as a method of raising money to help Prevalia rise to power once more. The Faire has since become a tradition observed by citizens across all three Kingdoms -- with games, entertainments, refreshments, and more for all to enjoy!

For the sake of keeping the King’s peace, the Faire, with the aid of Dornoll the Druid, is held on a hidden island known only to the Druids. For that reason, all who wish to partake in the merriment must climb aboard the ferry conveniently located at the Prevalian docks.


So come try your hand at the Axe Throw, Jousting, Ladder Golf, the Dunk Tank (a long-standing tradition of ‘drowning’ the Mad Emperor Linus, and the grief that followed his reign), Boxing, and much more! Special vendors and merchants shall make their unique wares available! Come watch the realm’s finest jugglers and fire breathers! Participate in the King's Faire Fishing Tournament!
==Accessing the King's Faire==
* Players can visit the King's Faire event region by clicking any King's Faire Gate which will spawn near the banks of all towns
* Players can click on the "Read Rules for the King's Faire" button on the moongate menu to learn specific rules for the event itself


Most of all, come and enjoy yourself! The ferry departs from Prevalia harbor!
