Wander through a lively vineyard gathering filled with music, artisan vendors, and storytelling as the first sparks of competition and connection begin to take shape.

The Evening Affair was quaint, warm, and full of love and laughter. Stepping into the first faire of the Fairy & Iron 2026 season was nothing short of romantic, fun, and intimate for all who attended. The evening was filled with performers, entertainment, the best food Shadowmere has to offer - and the best libations. Surrounded by spanning greenery, incredible merchants, and wandering maidens vying for their winning spot - it was a perfect day by every measure.
As the realms came to life, live performances and immersive storytelling unfolded - marking the beginning of the 2026 Fairy & Iron tale and introducing the characters who would shape the season ahead.
We thank every noble citizen who spent their time with us at the Evening Affair. It was filled with laughter, dancing, joy, delicious food, and even better company.

Prince Caraway had finally chosen six of the most eligible maidens across the realm to compete for his hand- Lady Hazel, Lady Aurora, Lady Rosetta, Lady Celeste, Lady Elowyn, and Flora.
The Evening Affair marked the first activity in the competition: the date portion. He learned many things from each maiden: where they came from, what they liked to do, and more. After the day was over, Prince Caraway had to eliminate one maiden from the competition....

Witness the end of the faire and Prince's Caraway's choice of maiden to return home.
