    Expansion Narrative:

    No secret in the realm of Arlor is as closely guarded as the one hidden beneath Somberholt Cemetery. To the citizens of Garetta, this local cemetery and the mausoleum that lies beyond it are merely a resting place for the dearly departed. The Chancel of Light, led by the venerable Septum Uru, have been caretakers of the cemetery since its construction. They are seen as wisened elders and loyal stewards of the past: peaceful and meditative in their seclusion, focused only on their duty as groundskeepers and ritualists. But nothing could be further from the truth!

    Ages ago, the Chancel of Light went to war against the Arch Necromancer Korvis: the most powerful force of Death ever to cast his shadow upon the realm! Practically nothing is known about this battle save for the fact that, against all conceivable odds, the Lightbearers defeated Korvis and entombed him in the depths of the mausoleum. Shackled by elemental light, sigils of Life, and 'round-the-clock rituals performed by sanctioned mystics, Korvis languished in his prison for generations. And in all this time, no word of the battle, no hint of the necromancer, no mention of his name or his intent ever escaped the oath of secrecy kept by the steadfast Chancel of Light.

    Recently, war erupted in the distant hills of Elondria: an incursion by Ursoth and the enchantress Helena that was quickly put down by Arlor's greatest heroes. As the tide of battle turned, Helena's sister, Voriyana the Sorceress (a lethal combatant in her own right), abandoned the campaign in disgust. Decrying Ursoth's small-minded vengeance and her own sister's short-sightedness, Voriyana fled to save herself from the humiliation of defeat and the righteous wrath of the Arlorians.

    After days of sneaking through the wilds, Voriyana's escape led her to the Somberholt Cemetery. Warm waves of tranquility poured over her as she approached. Then, a voice. Korvis' voice.

    Compelled by Korvis' shadowy magnetism, a new purpose formed in her mind. Intoxicated by the necromancer's evil, Voriyana opened her spirit to his imprisoned voice. Patiently, she meditated upon the darkness and learned his terrifying secrets.

    When Voriyana descended on Somberholt she was met by the Lightbearers. Without a word, the soldiers of Light knew what had to be done. Thus they engaged. And they fought valiantly... but as all of them had grown ancient and decrepit after countless years at their post, their fight was brief and bloody. Only the brave Septum Uru survived. He watched from the darkness as Voriyana slipped into the mausoleum, singing to her new master a song of dark allegiance.

    Key Features:

    - New Level Cap of 61!
    - New Random Dungeons System! Delve deeper and deeper into the Mausoleum as the bosses get harder and the loot gets better.
    - Faction Rank System! Advance to unlock higher level gear, higher rarity gear, new token vendor options, new crafting options, new monsters, encounters, bosses, loot types, and new NPCs with quests and lore!
    - Unique story-line unfolds across 4 Stages as Players earn the trust of the ancient Lightbearers order.

    Zones:

    The Chancel of Light and Somberholt Mausoleum are geographically located to the north of Garetta Village, and at the base of the mountains there.

    Chancel of Light: Towne Hub, a self-reliant secret order.

    Faction Ranks:

    New with this content is the idea of Faction Ranks, specifically for the Lightbearers that utilizes the current event style system. These function just like personal tiers during an event, and grant players access to special store items at the vendor, rewards, quests, and dailies, etc. By participating in the content, players will eventually reach a tier that grants better resilience to the content, in addition to community-based unlocks tied to scores and other mechanics.

    Points are credited for completing quests, dailies, killing monsters and killing bosses.

    Ranks:

    - Apprentice
    - Acolyte
    - Advocate
    - Disciple
    - Lightbearer
    - Lightbearer Elite
    - Exalted Ranks (Luminous Templar or Dark Apostle)

    Gear:

    There is a ton of new gear that becomes available as the expansion progresses. We’ve also significantly increased the power curve, so you will notice that the stats from this expansion's Epic gear surpass the stats of previous Arcanes. The following is dropped from various mobs and bosses:

    - Lightbearer Weapons (Tier 1) & Dusk Bringer (Tier 2) Weapons (6 Legendary weapon types, Tier 2 has proc, random level 57-61)

    There is a vendor in the Chancel of Light cathedral who will exchange your event tokens for various goods and services. These tokens are earned by running the content in Somberholt Cemetery and Mausoleums. The deeper you go, the tougher the content, and the better chances you have at earning phat loot and tokens. He sells:

    - Proof of Balances (these indicate you have earned their trust and can access higher level content)
    - Mausoleum Access (required as the Mausoleum levels become available)
    - Bronze, Silver and Gold Coffers (these are the same as a boss loot pull at various levels)
    - Somberholt Jewel Recipes (these are the same as Finesse, Fury, and Mind Jewels but give you an additional Damage bonus in the Somberholt content)
    - Level 59 Lightbearer Weapons (available at Stage 2)
    - Level 59 Luminary and Dusk Armors (available at Stage 2)
    - Level 58 Imbalanced Weapons (available at Stage 4, upgradable to Level 61 Balanced weapons)
    - Level 60 Balanced Flame Armor (available at Stage 4)

    - Acolyte's Bookshelf
    - Chancel Books
    - Scales of Balance

    As you can see, this is our largest and most complex Expansion to date. We’ll continue to try to fill you in on as much as possible, but a lot of it is going to unfold as the Stages progress.

    IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING LEADERBOARDS

    We will be closing this season down and removing the leaderboards that have been prone to cheating. We'll still have the timed leaderboards for the next season.

    Questions and Comments below, and see you in Somberholt!

    It will be driven by personal development and various community goals. X # of players reaching a certain rank, Y kills made, etc.

    Flags can't really be abused.
    As for top player it's the only LB that encourages people to collect their AP's.

    I'd vote CTF, TDM and maybe PVE kills. I don't see a reason for flags and top player to be removed.

    After 2 weeks, Cryos will no longer drop, and Twilights will drop from all maps excluding mines, crypts, and caves.
