+  The new version of Eternum has arrived. We invite you to celebrate, get to
+  know the game with the devs, and play with your fellow Lords in the
+  OktoberTest community events. Prost!
+---
+Schedule yourself an armor fitting, my lord, Eternum is coming at you with sword swinging.  We invite you to join your fellow Lords for *OktoberTest*.
+
+## **What is the Eternum OktoberTest?**
+
+Ready for battle? Ready for banter?  OktoberTest is raucous celebration of life and death in Eternum, washed down with ale, served with good company.
+
+There are streams, player challenges, community events - including game design briefings, economic reviews,  play-alongs with the game’s developers - and the chance to earn a little beer money.
+
+Sounds like a bit of you, my lord? Head to the [discord](https://discord.gg/realmsworld). Play the [latest version](https://eternum.realms.world/) of Eternum.
+
+You do not need to be a Realm owner to play in the Eternum *OktoberTest*.  You will be assigned a Realm when you first [play](https://eternum.realms.world/). The OktoberTest of Eternum takes place on a free-to-use testnet and there are zero in-game wallet transactions thanks to the [Cartridge](https://cartridge.gg/) Controller.  Let’s raise a toast to frictionless UX!
+
+## **What type of game is Eternum?**
+
+Eternum is a real time strategy MMO that will feel familiar to those who have played other strategy games.  You will understand the game and be up and running quickly.
+
+What we set to experience together is how a competitive multiplayer grand strategy game plays out when it is running on an open network. Anyone can make a prediction about how players will act, but it can't be know what will truly happen until the game is in production.
+
+There is a wildness to a blockchain-based game that cannot be compared to one running on a publisher’s centrally administered server. We expect players to push the boundaries of this mercurial world — and expand it — in ways no one has yet imagined for a strategy game, writing stories onchain, imperishably, and forever.
+
+Read about the fully onchain game [Eternum](https://eternum.realms.world/), [here](https://github.com/BibliothecaDAO/world-guide/blob/main/realms-world-guide-v1.0.0.pdf).
+
+## **What’s the goal of OktoberTest?**
+
+*OktoberTest* will beat you gently, easing you into the new world. You will learn about the game from devs and other players, compete in a low stakes environment, develop allies and enemies - toasting both with a beer in the Fool & Flintlock, the Realms pub, which will be open day and night in the [discord](https://discord.gg/realsmworld).
+
+[Playtesting](https://eternum.realms.world/) is the best way to improve Eternum.  Get into the world and start exploring.  Playing, and giving feedback, will speed up the hunt for a release candidate of the game. And its OktoberTest, so have fun doing it 🍻
+
+## **OktoberTest Event Schedule** 
+
+Over the opening days it will be low key streaming sessions - [drop in](https://discord.gg/realsmworld), or stream your own gameplay. Got questions? Ask them to the devs and community.
+
+Events to be scheduled will include game design briefings, social play sessions,  pop-up challenges with rewards.  Events take place in [Discord](https://discord.gg/realsmworld). It’s OktoberTest, so please bring your own stein, ml.
