We are looking at fixing the issue regarding faction points and the deterioration of faction points. To fix these issues properly it will require us to wipe all faction points. The fix will soon be available for testing on Test Center 1. We invite all of you to transfer your characters to TC1 and experience the changes as soon as it is ready. Keep an eye on the Herald.


Noteworthy Persons – The Yattering

If you have visited the shard Baja you might have encountered a quite original being called The Yattering. With Mesanna’s help we were able to address him, ask him some questions, and get away without getting bitten – although he was constantly eyeing our notice book. Here are his answers: How do you keep your teeth so sharp? Mama say “no more bitings.” yatter gnawing guardy bones now. How do you like living in a tree? loves yattertree! Can you tell us what it was like being part of the town guards and why you quit? no quit! yattering best […]


The Awakening – Act I, Part 2

Written by the EM Team     “Blast it! Blast, blast, blast!!!” Callie snarled in frustration as she threw a stack of papers from the small desk she’d been using at the Britain Library, once again feeling as if she’d hit a brick wall. Her efforts in Skara Brae had shown no results and inquiries in the capital city weren’t faring any better, despite having uncovered even more support for her theories. She glanced to the staircase as one of the scribes, an elderly gentleman who appeared to be peeking from the stairwell to see that she was alright. Seemingly satisfied […]


City Loyalty Ratings Explained

For each city, each player character has individual ratings for Love, Hate, and Neutrality. These values are numeric and the raw values are not displayed. Performing beneficial acts in a city causes the city to gain Love for that character Performing negative acts in a city causes the city to gain Hate for that character Any time a city gains Love for a character, a small fraction of the city’s Hate for that character is converted into Neutrality Any time a city gains Hate for a character, and that city already had Love for that character, some of that Love […]

Letter from the Producer

Hello everyone,   First off I would like to thank everyone for their kind words to me regarding my promotion. I am writing this because some of you wanted an official Producer Letter so here goes.  First I would like to address the Exodus Event reward.  The +5 stat scroll will be put in the game as a permanent drop. This is something that was discussed as a team from the very beginning, so if you did not get one at Exodus or were not able to be at the event, you will  be able to get it later. The second […]


The Awakening – Act V, Part 2

Written by the EM Team     Dupre’s gleaming platemail was scarred and battered as he approached the walled sandstone city, great strips of it ripped away by the attacks of the vicious mechanical beasts. He’d left too many men, elves, and gargoyles dead in the final struggle to rid them of the foul beast Exodus…and despite Sacrifice being a virtue, he wondered if it hadn’t taken more than its share this time. And why did it seem that those younger, faster, and stronger than he were so oft chosen while Sacrifice had merely passed him by all these years? Or […]
