New Title & Burnja's Board with Nails!

Sk ua of HG reports: "Hi Maggie! Me and a few others from HG were camping the drudge spawn inside Cragstone and after awhile the spawn stopped. After looking around the town, Lan'fear found one of the drudge captains Burnja, so my self, lan'fear and omg ibn pwnd run to kill. I'm sorry I didn't get a screenshot of Burnja's stats, but he was about lvl 80 with a lot of health for his lvl. After the imped was landed, he was dead in seconds and I was rewarded with the kill. On the corpse was a token, which when handed in got me the Knight of the Windmill title. Once I handed in the token, Javis also told me that the attack had now stopped. Also on the corpse on Burnja was his own mace. I attached screenshots of the mace and its stats."

Thanks to Eric for the following details:
Special thanks to: Phaith, Deadlyer, and The Ninja Turtle, killerfenix, shouto man, redbud,darsh, and a little bird for coming with me on the quest.

Element: Ar Fire, slash

To begin talk to Guard Winterborn in Ayan Baqur he tells you the shopkeepers are concerned about the recent banderling sightings and that he wishes for you to help him in his investigation. He will send you to 60.2S, 81.9W to seek out some friendly banderlings he is acquainted with.

Chief Taraash says, "Hmmm... Winterborn sent you. I smell him on you and your friends."
Chief Taraash says, "Perhaps... Perhaps you can help. I trust you. I trust your friends."
Chief Taraash says, "There is Banderling, named Haraag. [sic] He changed recently. He changed a lot. Bigger, stronger, different. He come and try to get Tribes to follow him. Some choose to follow, we chose to fight. We drove him off. Chased him to cave. Then, he ripped a hole in the world and fled through it. Those who chased him through hole, did not return."
Chief Taraash says, "Now, those who choose Haraag come and steal artifacts of the Banderlings. If he get enough, he will use to get others to follow him. I want you all to retrieve those artifacts."
Chief Taraash says, "Near here, at cave to the east, you will find the hole in the world. Like those things you call portals, but worse. I have learned trick to protect you from hole while you travel to its end-place. Take your friends, who are group with you now, and go there. Inside, find Haraag. Retrieve what was stolen from us, and kill Haraag, if you can. Each bring back Artifacts, and I will reward each of you for them."
Chief Taraash says, "Now, go. And remember, if you leave group, you'll need new group and my blessing to enter hole again."

He will instruct you to go east and find a banderling named Harraag. Go east to 60.2S, 80.3W and go in the cavern to find him. The portal will have to be USED, not the walk in type. Once in you will see a portal marked Haggaar's Lair (Levels 120+). Go down the ramp and go all the way around till you reach Carenzis and the Virindis.

After you kill them, you will see 3 ways to go to the NE go down the ramps and out the opposite side to the south after you kill the 3 schisms. Go further up the ramp and to the SE.

Go down the ramp at the intersection which should be west and then go SW and follow the hall east to an intersection. Go east and go fight 3 more schisms. Go north and follow the hallway. Fight the 2-3 then go down the ramp to the south. Fight the enemies to the north through the red mana. Now go NE then go west and hurry through the tunnels, go north through the schisms and go east then.

You should now be at the portal called Harraag's Lair. Be careful. Use AR fire weapons and don't bother with minions. If you die immediately, run back and use the portal. He has 30k hp and is prone to using eye of the storm, the lightning ring spell, and casting astyrrians bane on you. After you kill him loot the sack and crystal [timer = 13 days] and then recall.

New Gems & Arrows!

Fenix Reborn reports on new arrows and gems which may be purchased with Ancient Mhoire Coins! Zouf from LC found a coin on a Corrupted Dread in the Graveyard!

(click to enlarge)

Zouf adds, "Hey Maggie, All from the graveyard. Also as soon I "killed" the exhumed bones pile, a Pyre Champion spawned. I was about to kill it but the dawn... make him disapear :( Collect 10 of the exhumed bones... gives 6M lvl 220 :(."

Hey Maggie,

I got the key of a Corrupted Dread. Double click on the right statue, a box will appear and tell you it will spawn a portal for 1 minute. When you talk to the ghost, 5 spawns of mobs (pyre skelly/writes the same mob outside at night) like the collossus. There's a boss for the last spawn. I got killed by a fire barrier (dont try to kill it if you are melee...) but the rest of my fellow complete the quest. Some got 4 coins, other 5.

Latest News - Update In-Game Help Files!
Thanks to Larceny of TD!

Spring is here and once again the baby creatures of Dereth are roaming the landscape. The snow has all melted and the flowers are finally in bloom again.

Some people have reason to believe there is something not quite right with the Lugian, Lord Kresovus. With the aid of the people of Dereth, we can hopefully get to the bottom of what might be going on.

More secrets appear to have been unearthed in the graveyard that was discovered last month. Be warned though, some of these secrets may have been better off not being known.
