|
|
| Beware Dark Tor | Beyond the Portal, at the Dark Tor itself, Inquisitor Vitiosus readies his forces to march against us all. Defeat him to delay his plans |
|
|
| Maintaining Control | The Inquisition will seek to gain ground, but it's important to ensure other enemies remain under control, too |
|
|
| Cult Allies | Ah, my favourite Arena champion! Not only is the Arena a great place to hone your skills, but you can also enrage the Inquisition by battling alongside Cult Minions! |
|
|
| Dark Tor Riddle, Part I | An alchemist brave like no other,
A vicious Goblin killed his mother, A man of ice, a man no sage, Show the world his mighty Rage |

Marks a place knights boldly tread, Upon the hill by Atrelar Strait, You must win battles eight. |

|
|
| Thin the Herd | The Inquisition is always looking for new converts to grow its numbers. Why don't we reduce the number of potential recruits? |
|
|
| Armored Saint | Oh look, a bunch of Knights causing trouble. The Order of the Pure, the Order of Rage, the Inquisition - you're all a pain in the backside! Still, there's some good armor up for grabs... |
|
|
| Inquisitors' Ire | The more defeats we inflict on the Inquisition's leaders, the harder they'll find it to gain a foothold in our lands. |
|
|
| Shouldering the Burden | Still smashing up those Inquisition losers? Good work, I guess. Anyway, show me the armor! |
|
|
| Stand Your Ground | The Inquisition is nothing if not persistent. Stand firm and continue to fight back, on both sides of the portal! |
|
|
| These Boots Are Made for Walking | You know what you need? You need boots! Boots for your stupid giant meat feet! Why not get some more of that Purist armor? |

Event 2 (2021)
Run Time: February 19, 2021 - April 19, 2021
This event was the first reveal of Samael and Caliban
News #1
The Portal Master reports that the Sacred Portal is awakening once more, opening up new lands... and new threats. Scouts report that a long-lost faction of the Order of the Pure is starting to return - but they are now quite insane and calling themselves The Inquisition.
Now, fanatical followers of Glashtyn, the Inquisition has become precisely what their Pure ancestors fought against - a cult. Anyone who doesn't worship Glashtyn must convert or perish at their hands. And now they're on their way here. Lovely.
Nobody expected them, but now all brave Knights are called on to prepare for battle!
News #2
The Pure has had many great leaders, and one of the greatest was Garron. Orphaned at a young age, he was adopted and raised by the Pure. Despite his firm sense of justice sometimes bringing him into conflict with his more zealous brothers and sisters, he rose through the ranks due to his strength and tactical genius.
Garron gained leadership through unfortunate circumstances - after losing several parties through the portal, the Pure's leader Armand decided to pass through himself. Garron was put in charge in his absence, but the position ended up being permanent when Armand returned, incoherent and insane.
With the portal opening at Dark Tor and the return of the Inquisition, Garron's spirit is ready once again to join the fight.
News #3
We've spoken about the Inquisition in previous news updates, but what can you expect to see when the portal opens to Dark Tor?
Inquisition Enforcers make up the bulk of the Inquisition's forces. Heavily armored and wielding longswords, the Enforcers hit hard - their Retribution power can inflict the Doom status effect, which takes off a hefty chunk of a Knight's health and armor... and it can't be dispelled! Inquisition Archers shoot with deadly skills. Hiding behind their heavily armored comrades, their power can weaken even the strongest Knights.
Inquisitior Vitiosus leads the Inquisition forces gathering at Dark Tor. Legendary for his magical prowess, this cleric can also inflict Doom from the back row.
Inquisitor Caligo leads the Inquisition's scouting expeditions through the portal. Accompanied by his fellow Enforcers and Archers - and anyone else he can convert - he's leading the charge from the front, roaming our lands.
And then there is Glashtyn, the creature that turned a group of fanatical anti-cult knights into... a cult. Demanding worship, this strange being draws the life force of all those who approach it. Will your guild be brave enough to challenge this horror from the deep?
News #4
Battling Dark Tor's Inquisition will grant you many rewards. Amongst those rewards is a full armor set, traditionally won by Pure warriors.
Due to the Pure's anti-cult mission, the armor is enchanted to be Strong Vs Magical. And, due to the Pure's sense of aesthetics, it looks incredibly stylish once fully upgraded!
Will you be able to get the full set?
