The reelase is live! #AQW King Drimo and Queen Clymette apologized for their Leviathans reaping the wrong souls. Isthmia was meant to be an afterlife for the denizens of the sea, so this was just a big mistake. They'll fix this! But...it's taking them a long time. And who are Elodea's new friends?
Darkon was working on the cutscenes this week, but his home was flooded by a big storm. We were hoping the weather would improve, but it just got a lot worse. The release will still go live later today, but the cutscenes won't be fully completed until later.
𝐀𝐥𝐥-𝐀𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐞 "Isthmia's homes were built into coral spires with large seashells and pearls, but the palace is different. We only needed to clean and furnish it. The castle was already there. After we claimed a section of the Underworld, flooding it with seawater-
𝐀𝐥𝐥-𝐀𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐞 "The Underworld wasn't made to accommodate the souls of the sea, so we established Isthmia to give them a proper place to rest before they reincarnate. I've asked the Royal Guards to prioritize their safety and comfort over ours." -Queen Clymette
𝐀𝐥𝐥-𝐀𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐞 "(｡•ᴗ•｡)?" -Elodea "Why, yes! We do have special sets of clothes for swimming, just like how we have PJs for sleeping. Thok and I made swimsuits for for everyone. He's quite skilled with a needle and thread." - Juvania
Sailors, Pirates, and even Water Elves are going missing. This is raising major alarm bells. The Greenguard Crown have people on the job while you're busy with "matters of great importance." But disaster strikes, and everyone's favorite Hero needs to drop everything to help.
Tomorrow, your friends enjoy the last days of summer with a trip to the beach! It's not all lounge and leisure. They're searching for missing sailors. It's not too urgent, so you're off doing something that demands your attention. So. What's it going to take to make it urgent?
𝐀𝐥𝐥-𝐀𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐞 "Somewhere, hidden in the mountains of a continent far far away, is a city of Angels. Though the Abraxas look down on all those bound to the ground, they have a particular disdain for seadwellers." - Lorekeeper Muusa
𝐀𝐥𝐥-𝐀𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐞 A conversation between Aranx and a certain someone happened before you found your way to the /FourHarbingers...
This week, our lovely HeartFelt, a longtime Tester and a super super appreciated editor, took charge designing the release! Check it out in /FourHarbingers!
𝐀𝐥𝐥-𝐀𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐞 "Thanatos' Requiem. A sword that honors the dead, and those who guide them to find rest. Reapers and other similar Pscyhopomps are constantly under attack. Hopefully, this experimental blade of blessings gives them enough protection."

𝐀𝐥𝐥-𝐀𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐞 "To conclude this week's town hall meeting, I'll announce the results of the vote on the 'Hide and Seek' matter... The majority is in favor of heavy supervision." -Lord Harley "Why can't we just ban the game outright? They never end well." -Guardian
𝐀𝐥𝐥-𝐀𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐞 "Are any of you familiar with the name Bananach? She would have fit in with the Carcossans." "Seriously? She was the worst of us. Every time she spoke, a war began. She liked interrupting ongoing wars with even larger conflicts." - Dahlia
We had a crazy summer with two finales and a new beginning! Both the Flame of the Beyond and Doom Triad sagas' conclusions ushered in The Last Sunset. I say this a lot, but thank you all so much for all the kind comments. The team's super happy that you guys had fun!
August ended with the beginning of The Last Sunset! We'll be taking a break from Doom and Destiny for a bit to enjoy the sun! Let's have a peek at September! Note - This isn't a substitute for DNs or the Calendar. The schedule can suddenly change if there's an emergency.
The release is live! You're leading your Army of Doom on the hunt for The Law. Your prey fled to recharge in, where else, but the Mana Core. You must give chase and find a way to return where this Age of Ruin began. The Temple of Doom holds the key, but you have to act quickly.
Tomorrow, the sun begins to set! Part 1 of The Last Sunset will have you return to Termina Temple with your Army of Doom! Together, you will defy destiny! But first, you have a small hurdle to leap over before you can get through the door.
𝐀𝐥𝐥-𝐀𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐞 - Introducing Your Carcossan Generals The Doom Banshee screams, delighted by your arrival. Your old selves would have keeled over at the shrill sound. "Death to Destiny, Fate, The Law, and all those who dare defy the True Doomknight!"
𝐀𝐥𝐥-𝐀𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐞 - Introducing Your Carcossan Generals *Gleefully gnashes mandibles* It's a pleasure to meet again one on one. Yes, I sensed your presence when you were exploring Carcossa's Cabins. I was too occupied with a mirage to properly make your acquaintance.
𝐀𝐥𝐥-𝐀𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐞 - Introducing Your Carcossan Generals Stryge is still as stone. They could easily be mistaken for a statue, if it weren't for their growing smirk. "It's a pleasure, my True Doomknight." You hear Stryge's voice in your thoughts. He's a telepath.
I also want to credit Yoshino for how good (diabolical) they were at hiding all the clickies 🙏
Cylisse@cylisse.bsky.social · last mo.The release is live! Aria and Valencia are gearing up to search for the Great Dragon of Darkness, Dekanor! With your help, they'll find his den in no time. Just be warned. The most mysterious of the Greats has a bit of a chip on his shoulder.

𝐀𝐥𝐥-𝐀𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐞 "Dekanor, the Great Dragon of Darkness, is a huge mystery - even to other Dragons! Buuuut, if you keep an ear out, nature has a lot to say about him. Even the Slimes! With a little magic, we can listen in and see what they have to say." - Aria
𝐀𝐥𝐥-𝐀𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐞 - Introducing Your Carcossan Generals "Do you remember me, my True Doomknight? We met in Starship Carcossa's cabins. How pathetic I must have been, ranting that I'd gorge on darkness and blood when I was nothing more than a faint shade."
"You said you weren't afraid of dying for this world. Me? I'm terrified, but only we can do this." #AQW
