Behind every door of the mind is the fear of the darkness in the corner of a dimly-lit room. It is the unknown -- the terror without a form, but with a name: the Shadow.

Vatu's origins are shrouded in the same shadow he uses as a weapon. He is the knife in the night, ending an eternal conflict – he is the untimely death, never confirmed as accidental. He and the Thousand Hands guild have an understanding: they provide him with work and money, and he takes care of their problems. The only thing clear in his actions are his desire to protect his Ska'Drin people and his deadly capability to do so.

Wielding sharp Kunai and mysterious shadow magic, Vatu takes care of business with a ruthless efficiency matched only by his strict code of ethics. His are not the eyes you want to see staring back at you from the darkness, for by that time it is already too late.

Champions!

Over the past few months, we've received a number of concerns both from players around toxic behavior in our games. We’ve had several discussions around the topic, and are now taking steps internally to ramp up our efforts to remove anything that violates our standards. One of the steps that we are ready to communicate with you all today is that we have reviewed and adjusted our Suspension/Ban Policy.

Effective immediately, game suspension tiers have been updated to:

• 1st offense = 7 Day Suspension
  
• 2nd offense = 14 Day Suspension
  
• 3rd offense = Permanent Game Ban

The following has also been added to our policy.
 
[h3]Ban Evasion Enforcement[/h3]

If a player has been suspended or banned on an account, any subsequent accounts used during the duration of the suspension or ban by the player found by our support staff could be permanently banned.

Combatting Toxicity is a top priority for our team, and this is just one of several steps already in motion to ensure we continue to build long-lasting and inclusive communities around our games. We’ll have more to share on these efforts in the near future, so be sure to keep an eye on our official social media channels.

Until then, we’ll see you in the Realm.
