Wow ironfell update#

Hopefully it will come back, but… I fear we are far less addictive than it. Now, in a twist of tragic irony, Ironfell is quitting us. I tried to quit Ironfell several times, but it’s just one of those addictive games that, once you get into it, you can’t get out, no matter how determined you at first seem to be. I met several good friends through Ironfell, and for that, I cannot possibly express enough gratitude to David, and to his brainchild, my favorite game. January 24th would have been my 2 year anniversary of first playing it. This game has been a big part of my life. My conscious will unwillingly be thrust in its direction every year on that date. This game will imprint that date on my mind. Here is a little thank you poster for the people currently playing… names in no particular order :)ĭecember 15th is… going to be a very sad day. on Monday the 15th of December, 10am New Zealand time, Ironfell will be shutdown. I can’t justify spending more time on a project I don’t enjoy, that doesn’t make a profit. I can now say I’ve made a MMO :) But it stopped being fun to work on a few months ago. Creatively, I think Ironfell has been a success. The 4000+ hours I’ve spent on Ironfell is a hideous amount of unprofitable time. Just over a thousand people have tried the Ironfell on iOS, which is pretty good.įinancially, Ironfell has not done very well. People cooperate and in general the community is better because of it.

The Alliance update has been live for 5 months now, and I think it’s helped Ironfell a lot. It’s a fun game, I still like playing it. Over 30,000 people have tried Ironfell and lots of those have become addicted to it. Mansard Kanaoth, the only half-orc on the council and the most vocal detractor of the Voice.I started Ironfell in December 2011… 3 years ago… that is a long time.The Voice of Telos, the thirteenth member of the council and de facto leader.One of the councilors, Knight-Vindicator Mansard Kanaoth, began trying to capitalize on these developments to undermine the Voice of Telos with the goal of ultimately declaring himself a successor to the Witch-King.

Concerned, the Ironfell Council sent agents to investigate the ruin, as well as to seek out any other evidence of related threats to their power. In the Year of the Purloined Statue, 1477 DR, the ruined Castle Perilous shed its crumbling exterior to reveal a rejuvenated and evil-looking fortress beneath. As most Vaasans and outsiders did not know the nature of this parasitic relationship to Telos, it was widely assumed that the Ironfell Council's role was to commune with the primordial, who was publicly venerated by the Warlock Knights similarly to a deity. The council was named in honor of ironfell, a magical metal harvested from the primordial Telos which granted the Warlock Knights many of their powers. Although each Knight-Councilor had a suite of rooms to themselves in the Citadel, they preferred to come together as little as possible, and instead spend time in the lands which they individually ruled directly. The council met five days out of every month at the Citadel of the Iron Sky in Telos City to debate and decide issues of government. The council held the power to conscript its citizens into military service, including high ranking Knights and their entire armies. The Ironfell Council was the undisputed pinnacle of Vaasa's feudal hierarchy, and one of its primary duties was to perpetuate this hierarchy by allocating land and vassals to Warlock Knights as they ascended the order's ranks. The final member of the council, and also its leader, was the mysterious and long-lived founder of the Warlock Knights known only as the Voice of Telos.

As members of the Ironfell Council, these Vindicators were known as Knight-Councilors. Among them were the twelve most powerful members of the Warlock Knights who had attained the rank of Vindicator, meaning they were powerful land-owning feudal nobles with their own standing armies and to whom lesser-ranked Knights swore their allegiance. The council was made up of thirteen members.
