[h3]Lore[/h3]
"Lord Taedmorden was cursed by the queen of the Abyss to remain in her gardens. The origin of the Taedmorden flower has been told by wizards for a hundred years. It is a legend about love and betrayal. About powerful magic and dark urges. It is the source to how Riana turned away from the light. To embrace the darkness. Archdruid Draydiac fought the queen of the Abyss with all his power to protect the temple in the gardens. The sanctuary for the druids had been standing in peace since the first age of magic. Now it lies in ruins. The abyss demons has corrupted the lifetree. Even the forest god Korganos has been defeated and enslaved by the Queen. Hidden behind a protective barrier lies the portal and magical gate to the ancient temple of the druids. A sanctuary for the most powerful elder wizards of the Scepter order. Well kept enchanted gardens with fragrant magical flowers, gorgeous trees and many bushes decorate the outside of the temple. A handful of waterfalls flow into various small rivers. Statues of ancient sorcerers, the founders of the order are lined up outside of the temple gates, serving as reminders of the past. Tall, wide windows are scattered generously around the walls of golden stone in seemingly perfect symmetry. A huge gate with large metal doors leading into the temple halls. The magic in this place is very strong. " - From Loremasters journal

In this free content update we introduce our first "Brutal mode" dungeon. Beware, this dungeon is extremely challenging but with great struggle comes great rewards. The limit to all core stats in the game has finally been increased so players can go beyond and battle these new challenges. Ascension has been buffed, now rewards triple stats. We also bring great news regarding "Divine Ring of Karion" also known as "the one and only ring to rule them all" can now become very powerful again with enchanting.
