Enter the realm of the gods! Once a land of peace and beauty, the Gardens of Rath Parras have become a corrupted land of never ending war.
Skeletal creatures fight amongst themselves, thrashing steel against bone and channeling torrents of eldritch magic against the ancient armour of their sworn foes.
- Bloodthorn the Ravenous
Rath Parras may have once been a perfect prison for a Dark God, but time erodes all things. Crom's eldritch influence now seeps through the failing wards and out into the worlds beyond. The Corrupted Gardens have been exposed to a level of corruption second only to the inner halls of Rath Parras itself.
This corruption has twisted the once docile enchanted plantlife of the gardens into a parody of the divine powers that once gave it form. Bloodthorn the Ravenous sits festering amidst the other corrupted plants, growing more powerful as its roots drink deep from the well of corruption beneath these lands.
Bloodthorn is immensely powerful, and will require a well equipped raid of 40+ heroes to defeat. Can you sever the connection between this monster and its well of eldritch power, or will you succumb to the vile toxins that surge through the ravenous maw of Bloodthorn?
- Factions System
The corruption in the gardens has tainted more than the plant-life. Ancient forces clash in an eternal struggle outside the walls of Rath Parras, each desperate to eradicate the other. No matter how many Reavers fall, or how many Liches are banished, more always rise to take their place.
Heroes who enter the gardens and follow the questline will eventually be presented with a choice over which faction to aid. The well marshaled forces of the Reavers struggle against the arcane prowess of the Liches, and only a great hero can turn the tide.
Choose wisely!
- High Warlord Auraxis - Reavers
Players who side with the Liches will eventually find themselves pit against the high warlord of the Reaver forces, Auraxis. This monstrous champion seeks to complete a blood ritual to eternally bind the Liches within their phylacteries, using would-be heroes as fuel!
A boss designed for 8 Lich-aligned heroes to tackle once per week, Auraxis should provide a significant challenge to those who wish to face him, and significant treasures to those who manage to emerge victorious..
- Archlich Thanasis - Lich
Players who side with the Reavers will eventually find themselves facing down the eldritch might of Archlich Thanasis. This imposing spellcaster seeks to complete an arcane ritual that will shatter the bones of every single Reaver in the gardens, literally scattering their dust to the winds. Only a well trained squad of heroes can intervene and prevent this ritual from reaching its end.
A boss designed for 8 Reaver-aligned heroes to tackle once per week, Thanasis should provide a significant challenge to those who wish to face her, and significant treasures to those who manage to emerge victorious.
