When the harvest season draws to a close, a mind free from unnecessary worries becomes entirely captivated by thoughts of the upcoming festivities. Sometimes, it's nice to do absolutely nothing and simply relax, pondering the fun that lies ahead. Or even better – to drift off into a blissful slumber, savoring the festivities to their fullest in your dreams. However, we must not forget that mortals aren't the only ones susceptible to the weakness of anticipation – evil spirits fall prey to it from time to time as well.
Lords and Ladies, in anticipation of the upcoming Halloween celebrations, licensed Imperial Astrologers hereby officially declare a week of blissful idleness and nightmares! Yes, you heard that right – you can spend an entire week doing absolutely nothing, simply resting and discussing the upcoming festivities. Well, with just a tiny bit of nightmares thrown in, too.
Attention! Rumors are spreading across the lands of the Empire about nightmares that are impossible to distinguish from reality. Each nightmare consists of 5 battles. The first one is already awaiting all brave souls on the map, and a new one will arrive every night until and including October 31. Yet even what you witness while awake won't let you go so easily: echoes of all 35 nightmare battles will haunt Lords and Ladies until and including November 3. Each defeat weakens the evil spirits, but at the same time reduces the gold reward for defeating them and all subsequent opponents. Imperial sorcerers recommend spending this week sleeping in full battle gear. However, be warned that the power of modifiers cannot penetrate the veil of nightmares. Stay vigilant and manage your strength wisely, lest battle exhaustion catch up with you in the dead of night!
Certified nightmare scholars authoritatively claim that, with enough diligence, one can even extract Mercenaries’ Guild elements from nightmares (no more than 1 element for every 5th victory) and up to 3 parts of War Boots. Such esteemed scholars would never lie!
In addition, the Guild of Mystical Anomaly Researchers reports the appearance of a mysterious crypt, teeming with the magic of forgotten souls. Apparently, they guard the sealed sarcophagi of long-forgotten Lords and Ladies of ages past, within which mysterious treasures surely lie. Or – terrible curses. But what curses in this world could possibly scare off a noble's thirst for adventure? To unlock the sarcophagi, all one needs is to obtain special cursed keys, which, through some incredible mystical phenomenon, materialize right in the hands of victors in any type of battle that grants experience and skill points.
We remind you that arranged battles and battles deliberately intended to result in defeat are prohibited. And the only truly dreadful curse awaits those who break the rules! Do not tempt fate – the spirits are watching everyone.
Have a frightfully fun time! |
