Preview - The Last Valley Protectorate! An exciting new event comes to Arlor!

[Cinco]

A fellow Arlorian needs your help! Mega-merchant Peylon Rusk has sold his home in Vardan Valley and is moving his family (and a massive trove of gold and Arcane items) through the mountains to oversee a new weapons forge in Kraag.

He's doing this because his mortal enemy, the mountain warlord Tokras Fel, has announced his intentions to arrest Rusk and seize all of his assets so that he can wage war against the Arlorians.

Peylon Rusk's daughter is in town to recruit players to protect the caravan. Protect the massive merchant wagon as it bounces along the dark valley trail.

How to Play

This is an energy based event. Speak with Rylie Rusk in Windmoore to collect a daily quest and get started.



Use one energy to enter the portal and begin the mission to escort Peylon to Kraag safely.



You'll run alongside Peylon's armored caravan and fend off waves of enemies along the road, culminating in a face-off against Tokras Fel himself.

It's a race against time to slay the hoards before the caravan can't take anymore and is destroyed, Peylon along with it.

Points will be awarded after each wave, along with tokens each successful run!

Tokens & Vendor

Each successful run will earn players Rusk Coins which can be spent at the vendor in town for but a sampling of the Rusk treasure trove.
