Overview
Lord Winter's Realm is a co-op event zone in City of Heroes and City of Villains. Formerly characters entered it as part of the Lord Winter activity during the Winter Event. For the 2011 Winter Event it was added to the LFG Menu as a holiday trial for teams of 12 to 36; level 10 or higher.
The zone is actually five different zones for variety: each consisting of part of the iced-over Croatoa map like the one used in the Father Time mission. There is a Magic Portal in each of them allowing players to go from one version to another, which is intended to allow split teams to rejoin, though could be used if players prefer one particular map over the others. There are no Exploration badges or any other zone-specific rewards: it's simply a wintery wasteland filled with Winter Horde goons and Lord Winter himself. Heroes and Villains will both appear in the zone when they enter through the Special Gift and will do battle with Lord Winter together.
Once the Lord Winter battle is completed, players are encouraged to stick around and defeat Winter Horde for the duration of the event. The enemies in the map have a chance to drop Candy Cane Salvage on defeat.

Transfer Points
The only way into Lord Winter's Realm is to click on a Special Gift during the Winter Event. Once inside, there is a Magic Portal that transfers players between the five different layouts. The portal is intended to allow split teams to rejoin, though can be used if players prefer one particular map over the others.
Once the event timer reaches zero, all Heroes will be transferred to Atlas Park and all Villains will be transferred to Mercy Island, unless they entered from PvP zones.
Enemy Groups
Lord Winter's Realm is populated entirely by the Winter Horde. Somewhere in the zone is Lord Winter himself, and he is the main attraction. The other enemies in the zone have a chance to drop Candy Cane Salvage when defeated.
