Bring your tribe. + +Eternum is the most competitive battle royale on the blockchain, and with this release we encourage players to form up into tribes to take on the world together. + +You do not need a Realm NFT to play.

We are seeking storytellers who wish to bring the stories from the game to the public via whichever channels they wish. See the Creator Competition section below for full details. Eternum is just getting started so consider this an opportunity that may evolve favourably over time for those with abilities to generate and hold interest. + +### Release notes + +This release of the game has polished UX, bug fixes, performance updates, game design tweaks and a refresh of the game models and animations. It is hosted on Starknet Sepolia testnet, one step closer to Starknet mainnet. For full release notes head to the community [discord](https://discord.gg/realmsworld). + +--- + +# Competition information + +There are up to 200,000 $Lords available to be won across three separate competitions. At time of publishing thats a prize fund worth over $11,000 USD. Please follow the rules to participate in the competitions. + +### General rules + +No entrant may mint over 4 Realms in the season. Doing so excludes a player from the competitions. You can capture and operate 5+ Realms, but you cannot mint more than 4 Realms. + +For this Preseason on Sepolia the competitions will be coordinated by the Eternum team. Their decision in all matters relating to the competitions is final, and they reserve the right to disqualify players on any grounds without entering into discussion. + +In future, on mainnet, Eternum seasons will be immutable, with the smart contract code maintaining integrity of gameplay and distribution of prizes. + +### Creator competition + +*10 creators will split 50k $Lords (5k $Lords each).* + +The challenge: **"Tell the story of the Eternum preseason and bring the world of Eternum to life to those yet to play, using any channel including stream"**\ +\ +This is a creative competition that will be judged by 3 DAO contributors.
