Welcome! to Willem’s Wondrous World Carnival!
The Gate
The Gate is just the first of many wonders to be had - and even better, there are two of them! Enter from either end, and make sure to come back and try the other one. Once you pass through the physical gate, you will have your first opportunity to taste the wonders of the bigger world, or perhaps to discover a new take on familiar favorites. You can also find items available that will help commemorate your visit so that you will always remember the time you spent at Willem’s Wondrous World!
Look for:
- Giant Avem legs
- Meat pies
- Objects brought from across the world
- Strolling ale vendors
- Jugglers and strolling lutists
The Walk
The Walk is the other area that contains so much there had to be two of them! As you pass from the Gate to the Troupe Yard, you will take the Walk. Here you can find exciting games of chance and skill - if you are lucky, you could come out of the walk a wealthy sapient, but you’ll always come out a happy one! Food vendors are also present, upping the variety from those at the gate. You can find all but the rarest of fare on the Walk!
Look for:
The Troupe Yard
The Troupe Yard is where all of our finest performers spend their time between shows in the Main Event. They keep in practice for the big shows, so you may find them performing small bits of their act. They are also happy to talk with our guests - find out why they love being in the Carnival, because you might love it too! And of course, there are food and drink vendors in case the excitement whets your appetite.
Look for:
The Menagerie
Come to the menagerie, and see strange beasts from far off lands! Here you will find creatures you have never seen before, and will only see again if you return to Willem’s Wondrous World. At some of the stalls throughout the area, you can even taste some of these exotic animals!
Look for:
- The Great Apes - a family of four that has risen above their brutish cousins
- The Aviary - the strangest things on wings
- The Horror from the Deep - don't get too close!
- Thunder Tusks - giant beasts with deadly tusks for goring
The Beer Tent
The Beer Tent is a good place to relax, eat, and listen to music. On the second to last night of the Carnival, the bard competition will happen here.
Feats of Strength
The Feats of Strength are where you can go to test yourself in the physical realm, and to watch others show their prowess. Archery targets are set up, and you can prove your worth and perhaps win a valuable prize. See the world’s strongest man, and test your strength against his. But the big show is the Gauntlet - a dangerous course not for the faint hearted! Survive, and be rewarded! Those with a hearty appetite will love this area as well, with giant portions of meat, cheese, bread, and ale available.

The Dwarf with the Stone Jaw
Willem’s Wonders
Are the more mental aspects of the world more your thing? Come to Willem’s Wonders! Here you can be challenged to tests of your intellect, and converse with beings of deep wisdom. This is also where magic and illusion flourish, and you can watch supremely skilled sapients demonstrate their powers. The central feature is the Hall of Mystery - prove your worth for a valuable reward. Those with a more refined palate will enjoy the offerings here, with delicate pastries, exotic vegetables and mushrooms, and aged wines.
Look for:
The Race Track
The racetrack is available for those who would like to gamble, or race their own horses. Post times are every half hour.
The Main Event
