Dark omens are stirring across the Isle of Aenor... Strange happenings have been reported, and a mysterious Doomsday Crier has appeared in city taverns foretelling of ominous events on the horizon.

The time has come - the Wrath of Bal'Ramos limited-time event and questline kicks off at 9:00 AM UTC on Friday, October 4th!

Team up with your fellow heroes to confront the forces threatening the isle as destructions looms... while there's still time. These are the events and updates that will lead us to the grand unveiling of brand-new lands in Ilysia, waiting to be explored and conquered!

As we introduce the rebalance to stats, items, and leveling in the new content coming, we'll be performing a full character reset at the end of this event to provide the best possible experience on the new continent.
