Greetings Wizards,
with just 1 day left until launch, let's take a look at the minions of darkness you'll encounter and battle on your quest.
[h2]Unlit[/h2]
When the Umbral plague started to spread, its gloom affected all - but none more so than the simple tree folk of Primeweald. The lesser elves' bodies became twisted and hardened, their minds turned from cultivating plant life to violence and hatred. Bound to the dark force's will, they follow it blindly.
As the bulwark of the plagued army, the Unlit are not only skilled swordsmen, but deadly archers as well. When you're far away, they will mercilessly try to turn your body into Swiss cheese with arrows. If you dare to get close, they will transform their bow into a shield, and summon a sword to deal with you face to face.
[h2]Darkling[/h2]
Darklings have always been shifty little imps... but the Umbral plague made them extraordinarily annoying. With a knack for improvised explosives, the Darklings lurk where no other creatures can survive.
The Darklings utilize their agility and small size to support the plagued army. They will jump around any nosy Wizard and try to blow them up with smaller and bigger bombs. Fortunately, they're not very smart about it - sometimes they blow up themselves, or their fellow Darklings.
[h2]Shroomling[/h2]
The Umbral plague also affected the whimsical fungi growing in the Forsaken Wood, making them much more territorial, and driving them to attack any foreigner with no regard for themselves.
Don't let the cute look fool you - filled with poisonous spores, the Shroomlings wait burrowed in the ground for their prey. Once you get close enough, they pop out and clumsily run toward you to explode and leave a lingering deadly gas cloud.
[h2]Fire Acolyte[/h2]
The elven sorcerers studying the power of the elements became the most powerful servants of darkness. Corrupted by the Umbral plague, they command magic to bring nothing but death and destruction. They are the true test of a Wizard's might.
The Fire Acolyte strikes with a blazing fury, hoping to put an end to your adventure. Watch out for their Fire Sentries, they can easily knock you out while you're distracted!
[h2]Ice Acolyte[/h2]
The Ice Acolyte commands the freezing powers, and tries to immobilize and finish off any trespassing Wizards. Their deadly icicles easily pierce through flesh, while their icy barrier heals and protects them from taking damage - do your best to destroy it before the Acolyte emerges fully healed!
[h2]Lightning Acolyte[/h2]
The Lightning Acolyte is electric power personified - with chaotic, erratic teleporting and swift melee strikes, they pose a great threat to any Wizard. Just when you think their attacks have stopped and you can finally breathe, expect a sudden lightning storm over your head! They know no rest while you're still alive.
Thank you for checking out this update, we hope you're ready to cleanse the realm! See you tomorrow on a grand adventure!
