 * summary=Summer Solstice 2015 was an event that ran from June 14 (U.S. flag day) to June 21 (Summer Solstice), as with previous years events, it was setup and organized by the god and world builder Shadowfax.

The event featured three different types of challenges:-
 * An obstacle course (event 106)
 * A puzzle quest (event 107)
 * A survival quest (event 108)

Firewalking Trial
This was a solo race through a volcano, with the objective been to get the fastest time possible. The timer started when the character touched the pedestal in the first room and stoped when the character completed the course by touching the pedestal in the final room. There were several obstacles along the course designed to slow players down they were four gates, two exits which required climbing and an random water section. Two of the gates were locked and required picking. A reward of a completely customized item was offered as a prize for the character(s) who completed the course in the fastest time. Achieving a fast time involved creative use of skills as well as maxing things like thief skill, intelligence, picklocks, climbing, mountaineering, shadowwalk.

Group Bug
During in the event, the contest part was temporarily removed after it was discovered that some players had been cheating by exploiting a bug which allowed them to group to achieve the fastest time, the contest was later reinstated after the bug was fixed.

Prizes
Legacy deeds were awarded to the characters who completed the course in the three fastest times.

Forest Fire Trial
This trial involved putting out a series of fires within five minutes, by using spells such as icebolt, cone of cold and create water. A boss mob wandered the area and although not necessary for completing the challenge impeded a players progress by starting more fires. Although it was perfectly possible to complete this challenge solo, as had been indicated in Shadowfax's opening event intructions, most players chose to assembled large groups to take on the challenge.
