The Passage

 

 

The cradle of Purity upon Azuras lies sundered and profaned as the world is condemned by an archaic heresy made anew. A convergence of dark powers - necromantic, mystic and infernal - declared its rancorous blight to the heavens and the firmaments wept. The stolen secret of worldbreaking rent the earth, causing a ragged fissure that clawed itself deep into the banks beneath. A wound was inflicted then, primeval in provenance, a gaping trauma that hemorrhaged lifeforce in smothering plumes. With the Sun’s rays long eclipsed, a godless, eternal night swallowed the Silverwoods. No light nor divinity now reached this desecration, and the air itself shivered in sacrilege. 

 

Birthed from this bleeding wound, scores of wailing undead lazily shambled from the Passage’s vestiges, cloaked in tattered shadow and coursing veined blights - the Darkoath, Reikenor’s risen cult-turned-legion. Five Hexwraiths arose last, monolithic and resonant warlords who brandished blackstone armaments and gloaming, bloodshot eyes. 

 

 

Commanded then by a hailing hand, putrid peons and spiteful geists dispersed across the realm at the behest of the Darksworn’s malignant will, driven not merely to slay, but to sow, to blight, to defile.

 

The First Blasphemy was thus wrought, and every clamoring apostasy henceforth would be made known to the cowering divinities until they could avert their gaze no longer. 

 

An eye was once plucked in the name of Purity’s decree, and for this a thousand impurities shall be dealt in retribution.

Howdy everyone! 

 

This is the official announcement and commencement of an eventzone created as part of the [First Light] eventline. The Passage is essentially a magical rift that stretches deep into the lifebanks, now a spawning-point for ambient undead in the Silverwoods and most importantly spreads corruption and keeps the island in an eternal night. 

 

the_passage region in the Silverwoods is now a PK ZONE and a region of DANGER for any good-aligned characters that tread into its radius. Because it is an abyssal region deeply entrenched in the world, the ‘purging’ of this area is not something which is possible through basic rituals or methods purification currently accessible.

 

Though ET will be manning this eventzone and running interactions across the wider world, please do NOT use this as an opportunity to farm ST materials or pester ET members for personal events. Encounters in the Passage are also fundamentally high risk and high difficulty in nature, and, once again, PKs are a real possibility.

 

With that said, happy roleplaying! Hope yalls are excited for what's to come!! :)

A necromancer cackled in glee as the rift was formed, admiring it in awe and wonder. She praised and bowed to the Wraith-Lord.

An adherent of the Daemon of Freedom pursed his lips upon passing the now-cursed isle on a fishing trip.
