The Frontiers Call You Back... but something ancient calls louder.
Sigils, etched with power and purpose beyond understanding, have appeared across the Albion lands of Hadrian's Wall and Pennine Mountains. Their sudden appearance has left a mark across the realm. Once mighty keeps and towers now lie in ruin, their foundations shattered. The Sigil awakening brings forth mysterious containers, gargoyle gaurdians, and stonebound horrors.
The mists have lifted. The smaller skirmish zones you've grown to love have faded into memory, for now. The Frontiers once again become the battlefield... but not as you remember them. A focused war effort begins, rotating every two weeks to a different realm's frontier, starting with Albion.
In this war-torn chapter, only two key regions of the chosen frontier are accessible - Hadrian’s Wall and Pennine Mountains.
Attempts to enter the regions of Snowdonia or Forest Sauvage will return you to your realm's relic town.
Rotating Realm Focus
Every ~2 weeks, the battlefield shifts: Albion → Midgard → Hibernia. Each realm will have its time to defend its homeland… and its enemies will have their time to storm it. Event regions will have an additional 25% realm point bonus on top of the realm bonuses listed below.
The Sigilbreaker
No one truly knows yet what the Sigils are, who made them, or why they were buried beneath our lands. But something stirs when blood is spilled nearby. From the shadows of war and ruins of battle, the creature awakens. Find it. End it. But know this, such a beast is not summoned easily. The cost is measured in the lives of the fallen.
Visit the Sigil Merchant to obtain the quest: [Sigilbound] The Sigilbreaker
Shattered Sigils are a special event currency that can be traded at the Sigil Merchant event store to purchase valuable rewards.
We've begun finding strange things near the maze. Old, sealed chests marked with runes none of our scholars recognize. They weren't there before the Frontiers stirred again. Someone, or something, wants us to notice them.
Players can visit the Sigil Merchant to obtain the gather quest: [Sigilbound] Sigil's Echo
Sigil's Guardian
Deep within the maze, there stirs something old. We've found a powerful guardian that watches over the Sigils, but be warned! It will not give up its charge easily. We need you to hunt it down and bring an end to its watch!
