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,

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's eerie season has truly begun with spine-chilling omens lurking at every corner! Adventurers brave enough to venture forth can expect the unexpected, with winged and spidery horrors swooping down to deliver both terror and tantalizing rewards. But beware, for every demonic, undead, and unholy creature is empowered by the turning of the seasonal clock, making them more relentless than ever.

Alongside the familiar ghouls, whispers tell of new forces—creatures cloaked in darkness, emerging from realms unknown, ready to surprise even the most seasoned warriors. It's essential to stock up on garlic, holy water, and any talisman of protection, as ghastly zombies roam the streets, their sallow bones rattling as they bring a thrill of dread to every town and hideaway.

Prepare well, for the season’s horrors have only just begun, and Dura promises a haunting unlike any other!

uu You will have to drain him of his life before he will leave this plane. You have to kill him.
uu When the Headless Knight does die his body will not be moved by any ghostly spirits.
uu Fallen Warriors will spawn, one for every soul (player) in the area, at the time of the Headless Knight's passing.
