Alright, still going with Forge of Destiny so we can expect some more Nordic toons.

I already speculated about the first two events on the April Events post, so I will not be bringing them up again here.

Gauntlet Season 7: A new Magus character joins the gauntlet roster. No clue as to who it could be, as the background for the May events seems to be related to the new Eddie that is being released.
Mystic Night: Finally the Magus only Frontier Dungeon. This will likely give us shards for Mystic Flame Eddie, and perhaps some rewards for Occult characters like the Alchemist.
Unstoppable Force: An evolution event focused on Force talismans. Fun!
Outback Onslaught: A new Eddie based off the tour art for an Australian show. Probably related to a Mad Max sort of theme.
Shadow of Death: I am unsure as to what this could be, as the only time I remember lyrics like this coming from a Maiden song is from Shadow of the Valley, so perhaps more Book of Souls toons? Perhaps Awakenable Grim Reaper Eddie? Who knows!
Wings of Steel: Awakenable Icarus.
Sentinel Sojobo Tengu King: Completely out of left field, this is a character based on Japanese folklore. I have no idea why we are suddenly getting this now, but I suppose it's cool?
Immortal Era: Another dungeon event, eh? Well, I assume this has to do with the Norse themes of this mega event with immortals and such. Sounds cool.

What are you guys' predictions?

The Magus character in Gauntlet is probably gonna be based on a song title, all the previous gauntlet characters were named after songs (aside from Necropolis who was a character in a song)

I think the character choices may have been planned to coincide with the now delayed Maiden tour, as they were supposed to do Australia and Japan around now.

Thank you for reminding me about the postponed concert

Would have been seeing them tonight in a different world.

I'm all in favour of having to pretend the tour continued through some new LotB character designs :P

If these designs are going to be like Ragnar, I would rather not pretend that the tour has continued lol.

Ah who am I kidding, I would even pretend through him

Seems it it taking a while for the events to manifest. I wonder how much overlap this means for later in May.

i like how things are looking although try not to get everyones hopes up with an awakenable reaper ed that would be great but not sure it will happen most like mystic ed will be awakenable or claire either way im expecting cosmic lilith in the fc store this month

GR Ed was already pretty much confirmed to be next; when Viking was made awakenable a glitch occurred allowing people to awaken him and Icarus. It is likely it will be him in the Shadow of Death dungeon unless that is related to a different piece of maiden lore.

Outback Onslaught- I’m going with Eddie riding a kangaroo. They just released Norse characters riding cats, so why not a kangaroo??
