New Island!
A new landmass, the island of Aerlinthe, is rumored to be accessible to players Level 45 and over! After looking at some screenshots, I am feeling the urge to powerlevel!! Entrance to the island is gained by taking and C note to Chalicmere Fortress. All I can say is WOW!!!

See Aerlinthe Map page for a detailed list of new locations on the island of Aerlinthe!

New Creatures!

Plus more are on the move. Reports of Drudge Lurkers and Drudge Stalkers near Neydisa and Bandit Castle.

New Quest - Aerlinthe!
Nandesu Ka sent me some great sceenshots of Garaena the Emissary. Is this the new Frore-like quest we've been waiting for?! Click image below to see full-sized screenshot.

On far Aerlinthe Island, an intrepid band has found the lair of the Dark Lady Aerfalle, at whose whim the earth itself does shake. But the bold [insert name] has driven her back into her hidden crypts, and the ground stills... until she next awakens. The withered corpse of Aerfalle hisses in rage as it is hewn in twain... "I shall not be sent to a final rest by primitives like thee, [insert name]!" her severed head says from the stones. "Enjoy this insignificant victory, child. For I have walked this world for over ten millennia, and I shall walk it long hence your little race has returned to the dust that birthed thee!"

Rumor from the Tavern in Cragstone

New Shadow Armor Stats!
Quest Details: Shadow Armor

The Shadow Armor smiths met with some misfortune -- repeatedly murdered. Their vitae penalty has made them less able to produce the higher stat armor. But the Town Criers mention this is probably a temporary situation. I'd like to personally take credit for helping spread the rumor that Hamud was the culprit! (Hamud is still in his Chambers.)

Plus the Shadows are now transparent!

Spells for Pyreal!
Feruza Ibn Selaq at the Beach Fort (76.0N, 49.1W) will also give you spell hints in exchange for pyreal motes!

A pyreal sliver, how generous of you! While researching the new War Magic spells, I found the herb used in the slow moving wall spells has its ties in the realms of portal magic."

"A sliver of pyreal, excellent. If you're interested in learning the new War Magic spells, I know they use the talisman of old. I just forgot which property of the spell that affects.."

"A sliver? I can certainly use this! As far as I can tell, the herb used in the ring spells is used nowhere else."

"In my travels, a powerful mage told me how to rid oneself of unwanted enchantments. Unfortunately, in the process the caster is also stripped of his beneficial spells."

"I think I've finally realized what's happening with the new anti-magic spells. They use two scarabs, the first is used to focus the spell down to the power of the unwanted spells and the second is a powerful scarab used to amass the energies for the countereffects."

"I'm not sure, but I don't think the dispels are using only diamond scarabs."

"An excellent piece of pyreal! Thank you. I've been thinking a great deal about these 'dispels' and how they relate to the newly discovered war magics."
