The realm in pictures

Thirty-four frames of Iron Realms, captured from the running game — the world map, the keep you raise inside it, and the whole thing on a phone.

Captured, not composed

Every image in this gallery was taken by driving the actual game in a real browser and photographing what came back. None of them are mock-ups, none are composites, and none are renders made outside the engine. The capture tool refuses any frame it cannot prove is worth keeping: it rejects a blank or flat frame, it rejects a frame that is a near-duplicate of one already taken, and it rejects a frame where the camera has run off the edge of the terrain.

That last set of rules exists for a reason worth admitting. An earlier pass at this site shipped a dozen image files that were, measured honestly, two scenes — the same picture of the same field under names like hero-dragons and hero-siege, with captions describing things the pixels did not contain. Every picture below is checked against every other picture below, and where the game could not give a genuinely different view, there is no image rather than a padded one.

A wide view of the Iron Realms world map: a dozen keeps across green and sand-coloured country, with a river at the top edge — **The country between holdings**The widest view in this set. A dozen keeps at once, the ground changing from green to dry sand, and a river along the top — this is the scale a lord plans marches at.

A walled keep in Iron Realms seen in rain at dusk, with towers, houses and troops inside the walls — **Your keep, in the rain**The castle you actually build, inside its own walls — towers, houses, a training ground, and the weather coming down on all of it.

A high, wide view over the northern part of the world map showing many keeps — **Looking north from height**Pulled up and back. At this altitude the map stops being a set of buildings and starts being territory — which holdings are clustered, and which stand alone.

A keep seen from directly overhead, showing the full courtyard layout — **From directly above**Straight down. This is the view that shows what a keep really is — a fixed plot with a finite number of places to put things.

A keep on the world map with the coastline and open water visible — **Where the land runs out**Open water at the top of the frame. The coast is a real boundary here — crossing it needs hulls, not horses.

The Iron Realms game interface over a keep, showing resource counters, building labels and the bottom navigation dock — **The keep, with everything switched on**The same castle with the interface showing: resource counters along the top, every building named and levelled, and the dock along the bottom that moves you between the keep, the map, and the war.

The three galleries

The world map — twenty-three frames of the continent: clustered holdings, open country, coast, and the same ground from three different heights.
Your keep — the castle you raise, from four angles, plus one frame with the full interface switched on.
On a phone — six frames at a real handset's viewport, running the tier a phone actually gets.
