Winning designs available tonight:

• Warlord Blade of Nulgath by __MAGKCLORD__
• Void Warmonger Gauntlet by Sepha
• Wrought Ironblood Armblades by Kanshi
• Fiendish Zweihander by LHG

Nulgath Tribute Reward Details

Nulgath was feeling kind so his new rewards won't be super difficult to obtain individually, but if you want to collect them all, it may take you some time depending on how far you've progressed in the Nation.
