Depending on whom you ask and what you believe, the Gods are quite meddlesome in, or care very little for, the day-to-day machinations of Man and Elf. However, what everyone seems to agree upon is that deities cannot abide being mocked, which may account for the monstrous ire of Gran Kain on this particular October afternoon.

It was insulting enough to have these gnats overstep their bounds and meddle in magic, worse still to teach it to others, but easy enough to ignore with the proper reverence, and for His Part, with the devotion and supplication of the darklings in spreading His Name. Outright defiance could be simply quashed by severe retribution as example, such as with that insolent whelp Baium; one of the few things He and Einhasad had agreed upon, with a few nameless horrors left behind in perpetuity as a deadly reminder. But now, with the barrier between the two worlds nearing its weakest point, when His Servants could come and go at will, did these worms pray to Us for help, for mercy? No! They hang Us in effigy -- filled with candy of all things! -- scoff at Our Power, slaughter Our Minions for sport, and waste what little understanding of magic they have on parlor tricks and worthless trinkets! He’d shown that one conjurer visions she’d not soon forget, but the chattering laughter still grated in His Ears.

“ENOUGH!” roared Gran Kain, as He ripped the boundary between Hell and Aden in several places. “It’s time you were reminded to honor the Gods, to fear Our Wrath!”

Detail

Join us on the Depardieu, Ken Rauhel, and Lands of Aden servers for The Wrath of Gran Kain Event! Gradually weakening as All Hallows’ Eve draws near, the mystical barrier separating Hell and Aden now gapes wide in several of Aden’s towns, Gran Kain’s dark servants pouring through in droves. Following the spirit of the season, there are both tricks and treats to be had: periodic monster invasions in several key towns, tasty candies with a variety of effects when eaten, and glowing metallic pumpkins hiding a variety of items inside! The event will commence on Friday, October 28th at 4:00 PM CDT, end on Tuesday, November 1st at 12:00 PM CST, and include the following:

Friday, October 28th, 4:00 PM CDT through Tuesday, November 1st, 12:00 PM CST: Various undead and Halloween-themed monsters will invade several of Aden’s key towns, timing and intensity escalating as Halloween approaches: Talking Island, Monster Levels 10-15; Silver Knight Town, Monster Levels 15-25; Orctown, Monster Levels 20-30; Ivory Tower Town, Monster Levels 25-35; Aden City, Monster Levels 40-45; Giran, Monster Levels 45 and Above.* These creatures will have a chance to carry a variety of Pumpkin Candies and Bronze, Silver, and Golden Pumpkins. Candies will all share the same name, but will have various effects upon the player -- anywhere from relieving hunger to quickening your pace to healing mana! Metallic pumpkins can be double-clicked to receive a variety of special rewards.

*Please Note! Talking Island, Silver Knight Town, Orctown, Ivory Tower Town, Aden City, and Giran areas should be considered as “high-risk” areas during this time, due to the aggressive and pack-like behavior of event monsters.

Monday, October 31st, 12:00 PM CST through Tuesday, November 1st, 12:00 PM CST: A pumpkin-headed nuisance will appear periodically throughout Aden, relatively difficult to kill but with the chance of great reward!

Please Note! All unused candies and metallic pumpkins will be removed from the game and are tentatively scheduled for removal during the regular weekly maintenance period on Wednesday, November 9th.
