Publish 52: The War of Shadows

The Shadowlords, long displaced from the shards of Sosaria, have at last found their way home through the machinations of one dedicated follower. The blackrock detector, a beacon of hope for the government against the insanity gripping the land, instead opened a rift directly to the ethereal void. Nothing could stop their advance: not Kronos, not even the Time Lord himself.

The disparate events of the past - the rise of blackrock, a needless conflict with the Ophidians, the devastation of Haven and razing of Magincia - are finally weaving into a tapestry of betrayal. The kingdom is destabilized, chaos reigns, and the conditions ripe for the masters of Hatred, Cowardice, and Falsehood to lay waste to everything Britannia stands for.

No more foreshadowing.
No more hints.

The Shadowlords are here.
Weakened, but here.
Growing stronger every day.
Preparing to strike, at last.

Say can someone on Orgin tell me can you tame the Dark Wolf??? Or is that a no???

And as far as taming goes..... the Vanguard Controler? YOu can tame their horse????? If so what are the stats on those and can ANYONE ride them or do you need to be a tamer?? Are these something anyone can have?? How many controlers are spawning and what is the chance of getting a horse???

Thanks for the info.

So are the controllers as powerful as the Shadowlords were? Or are the weaker? Seems a little silly if they're as powerful. Who is the REAL master? The soldiers of the shadowlords or the Shadowlords themselves? ...

I hope it turns on soon! I am eager to check it out.

Well, the Ethereal Shadowlords in the Moonglow Rift were just projected 'copies' of the true Shadowlords. I am also interested to find out how powerful they are! Especially the horse....I would *love* to have one of those! *nods*

Maroite · 9th May 2008, 12:04 AM

Yeah I wouldn't mind the horse either, although it looks like its just another mare.

I wonder how many control slots it takes.

I wouldn't mind collecting a sword and shield and cloak! Finally got my beserker scythe last night!

Three

Do not have to be in factions to ride but you have to be a tamer. (3 slots)
Hp appears to be in a high 500s low 600s region
Stamina below 125, mana 150ish, str just above nightmare max, 527+
Base damage 20 – 26 spread over phys 40% poison 20% energy 40%
No skills over gm in the example seen

Maroite · 9th May 2008, 02:08 AM

Ahh thanks! I missed that. Hmm... Wait aren't nightares only 2 slots?... or is the rune 2 slots?

Petra Fyde · 9th May 2008, 02:30 AM

Nightmares are 2, but these are stronger than nightmares.

Max hp on a nightmare is 315, max str is 525 and mana doesn't go above 125.

I see them being paired with a bake kit or a mare for hunting, but as I haven't got one yet to try it out that's only guesswork.
