New World: Aeternum News

[h2]Greetings, Adventurers![/h2]

As the seasons change and the land awakens, a new collection of whimsical wonders arrives to lighten your load—and perhaps your enemies’ resolve. Whether you wield the crisp precision of the Carrapier, step boldly into battle with the Bunny Boots, or trust in the steadfast charm of the Fluffy Friend, these new armaments bring a playful twist to the fight. But don’t be fooled by their charm—behind every soft edge lies the strength to stand against Aeternum’s many dangers.

For those who prefer the shadows, the Sorrowsilt Cutthroat Bundle offers a more menacing approach. Cloaked in filigreed armor, these thieves move unseen and strike with deadly precision. Wield the Privateer's Volley Musket to silence foes before they even react or carve your legacy with the Privateer's Anchor Point.

Whimsy or wickedness—which will you choose?

A chill ran down the adventurer’s spine as two glowing red eyes pierced the darkness. A shadow shifted in the underbrush, stepping into the moonlit clearing—a rabbit, but not as nature intended. Its fur, twisted and marred by corruption, pulsed with an unnatural energy. The crisp spring air did nothing to steady his shaking hands as he tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword. A guttural, otherworldly growl rumbled from the tiny creature. Then, without warning, it leapt.
