The desert, though its face is plain and absent, lends itself to changing moods. In the day it is sultry and enflamed as the sands would burn your feet if not clasped in sandals; red countenance when the sun is on the horizon while through the day orange and yellow dunes meet a cloudless blue sky. And yet its night is an endless chasm like a deep yawn, a time of contemplation and planning. It is a land of volatility with each tide bringing opportunities to the seasoned passenger who knows how best to use them.

From Thursday, January 29th Server Save to Monday, February 2nd Sever Save the following will occur:

u  In the Kha'labal you will receive a very significant increase in Health Regeneration during the Daytime.
u  In the Kha'labal you will receive a significant increase in Mana Regeneration during the Nighttime.
u  Anywhere not in The Kha'labal you will receive an increase in Health Regen during the Daytime.
u  Anywhere not in The Kha'labal you will receive a modest increase in Mana Regen during the Nighttime.
u  These conditions will not stack if your in The Kha'labal.

In the depths of winter, when the snow lies heavy and the mountains glisten like polished mithril, the dwarves know well how to turn the bitter chill into a celebration of life’s richest blessings. For when the winds howl and the stone halls grow quiet, there is one thing that stirs their spirits like no other: Ale!

Hark, for this is no ordinary brew. The Dwarven Ale flows deep and hearty, rich as the veins of ore beneath the mountains, and bold as the songs sung by firelight. It is the lifeblood of feasts and the nectar of tales. Gather now, kindred spirits and adventurers alike, for the tavern doors swing wide, inviting all to step into a world where warmth is not just felt but shared.

Here, amidst the glow of roaring flames and the clamor of celebration, the air fills with the scent of roasted meats, the melody of jubilant voices, and the cheer of clinking tankards. Raise your mug high and let the frothy crown of ale spill in triumph! Tell your stories, sing your songs, and toast to the bonds forged in steel and laughter.

So heed the call, weary wanderer. Cast off the weight of your travels and take your place at the table. For tonight, the ale flows freely, the spirits run high, and the winter’s chill stands no chance against the blazing heart of the dwarven halls. Drink deep and be merry, for this is a night of legends in the making!

Faith is as mysterious as it is powerful. The warrior monks of this abbey when it was first christened made pilgrimage (that is crusade) against many a city. On the eve of each battle they would pray and abstain from all nourishment but water. There are stories where a single blow to the head of those who stepped to challenge these monks would break it as if it were an apple. If we give ourselves up to god, up to our own spirit, if we settle our mind with our body as one united and pure then often our bodies deliver us strength we did not know we had.

[from an ancient text in the library catacombs of the Abbey Darudin]







During Unknown Strength all melee and distance attacks, as well as all runes and all spells which deal damage as well as heal health points can critically strike. When these attacks and abilities critically strike they will have double the power they normally would. All attacks and abilities that deal damage apply in PvE situations, but they do not apply in PvP situations.

Unknown Strength will begin Tuesdsay 6th of January at 11:00 EST Server Save.
Unknown Strength will end Saturday 10th of January at 11:00 EST Server Save.


 
Strength be yours,
Dura Staff

In the thick of Dura’s forest, there’s a cave where bears gather to face the winter. It’s not grand or mystical—just cold rock, hard earth, and the raw survival instinct that drives them. As autumn fades and the air gnashes the skin sharper, the bears come. They’ve eaten well, packing on fat from whatever they could find—berries, fish, roots, small game. Now they’re heavy and slow, ready for the long sleep ahead.

The cave fills up quickly. Bears of all sizes settle in, pressed close against the stone walls. The place smells of damp fur and old soil, and the only sound is the slow, deep breathing of animals settling into hibernation. They’ll stay here, huddled together, as the snow falls and the forest freezes over, their bodies living off the stores of fat until spring comes around again. No mysticism—just survival.

From Friday, the 12th of December Server Save to Tuesday, the 16th of December Server Save all Raid creatures will have:

u Double Health Pool
u Double Experience
u Double Loot (Including Gold)


To the sleepy growls of bears,
Dura Staff
