World Events

All Factions

Anomalies | Link
The Anomalous Beasts that rampaged through the open rifts caused unmatched destruction in many areas throughout Abraxas. Fortunately, major cities and towns were spared, but notable areas hosting important resources or workers were impacted - including mines, lumber mills, farmlands, and more.

In the aftermath, it was discovered that a Summoned from Solvunn may have been responsible.

Curios | Link
Curious entertainers arrived to assist with restoration efforts and spread some good cheer. Many Summoned proceeded to help clean up the damaged areas while others decided to deliver trinkets to children and the wounded.
