After battling with blood sworn enemies, and against our own, the realms have begun to settle. But it’s in times like this, this preoccupation, that sees another foe poised to take advantage to increase its power, and strike!
Recent Doppelgangers behavior has puzzled researchers across the land. Long-time veteran realm guards in Breifine, Pennine Mountains, and Jamtland report that they have not seen or heard reports of Doppelgangers these past few days. A call to arms is made, and a bounty awaits those who would muster their courage, summon their realm mates, to find out what this evil is planning and rid the land of this foul menace.
Alerted to the danger, the kings of the realms have placed a bounty on Doppelgangers in order to dispel these forces, before it’s too late.

Doppelganger Lord
Players must once again face and defeat the Progenitor Doppelganger on Ellan Vannin.
-
This quest is repeatable, group credit within the Crossroads regions, and awards realm points. Does not auto renew.
Note: This quest is to kill the Doppelganger Lord and provides a separate reward. The quest is not necessary to spawn and kill the Doppelganger Lord, as killing Doppelgangers and realm enemies is the objective of the event. You may spawn the Lord, and receive area rewards with or without the quest.
-
Killing players and Doppelgangers within Ellan Vannin will cause a Progenitor Doppelganger Lord to spawn on Ellan Vannin center.
-
Once the Progenitor Doppelganger has been defeated, players killed within the region of Ellan Vannin will be worth more realm points for 15 minutes.
-
This Realm Point boost can be refreshed by killing the Doppelganger Lord again. Note: players may need to leave and re-enter Ellan Vannin through the milegates if they aren’t getting the buff.
-
Killing a Doppelganger Lord awards area credit realm points. On Ellan Vannin, this area has a radius around the center that does not extend beyond the milegates. The area is quite large, but be aware that it does not reach the outskirts of the map.
-
Credit is not awarded if you are stealthed at the time the Progenitor Doppelganger dies.
