Ethereal Awakening
Posted By: Joanne Laroche2008-05-12 11:20:16
With the Doppelganger forces thinning out, a strange ethereal calm has fallen over the Frontiers. Scholars in the capital cities have been discussing this strange feeling and what it could portend for the realms, but have been stymied at every turn.  However, practitioners of ancient dark arts, arts that in some parts are forbidden, have come forward with more information about what this strange halcyon repose means for the war-torn Frontiers. 

Based on investigation by these dark artists, it is believed that the incursion of such strong ancient evil as the Doppelgangers has weakened a number of magical boundaries, notably the boundary between life and death itself.  In fact, reports from the primary border-keeps of each realm indicate the appearance of a ghostly champion, bringing news and hope that these weakened boundaries could be used to the realm’s advantage in the ongoing realm war.  It seems that the Doppelganger’s interference may have inadvertently given the realms a strange new weapon or stratagem in their battle.  The Kings of each realm are asking that adventurers meet with these spectral champions and aid them in procuring an advantage before the other realms can.  The race is on!


Hot off the heels of the Doppelganger Invasion, a new event is making its debut today in the Frontiers*.  Nicknamed the “Ghost Keep” around the office, the new event is available starting today and offers quests and content designed to promote RVR for characters level 45-50.  There are PVE and RVR related goals in the Frontiers for this event so players can participate however they see fit.  To participate, see the ‘Ancient’ NPCs at the primary border-keep of your realm.

* Note: Based on the goals and mechanics of this event, the “Ghost Keep” event is not enabled on the PVE or PVP ruleset.  In its place, the Doppelganger Invasion will continue as the Doppelgangers attempt a valiant resurgence on these servers.
