Welcome to update 1.6!
“What of Ranaklu?” The young handmaiden practically whispered the name, a rare quiver of fear finding its way into her voice. Queen Aceshru’s handmaidens were famously fearless in their own right, they had to be, but the Queen knew very well that the girl was right to fear Ranaklu.
“The Blind Reaper? I can tell you that he accepted Darkness long ago, even by our measure, and am certain of his loyalty to the Cavern Realm.”
Queen Aceshru tilted her head slightly, a subtle wrongness in her own words giving her pause. “No, not accepted Darkness. Became it.”
Yes, her handmaiden was indeed right to fear Ranaklu. Not right to speak out of turn however, the Queen noted and signaled for the girl to be reminded of her place.
This month's update features a return to the Cavern Realm for the Festival, new challenges with two new Hero Adventures, and new treasures from Guild Raids. Additionally, some balance changes and enhancements to other features await!
