Cold Thunder Saga Epilogue

Main Story Epilogue + Challenge Battle

After much loss and sacrifice, the war between Greenguard and Skye has ended. The Rumbling of Cold Thunder was silenced by you and your friends, which means it's time to return home. This weekend, witness the resolution to your stormy journey in the saga's epilogue cutscene, and look towards the fire on the horizon. That's not all! A new challenge awaits you on the Throne of Skye, nursing a grudge that refuses to die. 

This weekend, adventures await in:

• TerminaTemple: saga epilogue quests + cutscene
• QueenIona: challenge battle vs Queen Iona (level 80+)

Rumbling of Cold Thunder Epilogue

The storm recedes, and Skye has been freed. You denied the deadly fates that threatened your companions, and return to Greenguard as a Hero. Don't count on it being all sunshine and rainbows just yet. There's something waiting for you under the floorboards. Return to Termina Temple for the finale of our Age of Ruin: Rumbling of Cold Thunder saga, and look forward to the Flame of the Beyond!

Once you've completed The Storm Queen quest from Felix in /ColdThunder, head back to /TerminaTemple to complete the Tell-Tale Heart quest from Tara. The Epilogue Cutscene will unlock upon its completion.

Queen Iona Challenge and Rewards

The Tyrant Queen of Lies is dead, but her bitter bloodline refuses to give up Skye's throne. The phantom of Iona's insidious memory awaits your challenge, along with a bounty of regal rewards! You'll need to be at least level 80+ to enter the /QueenIona battle, and this time, you can't bring friends. This is an electrifying one on one duel between you and the Queen!

• Vector Helaine Blade*
• Dark Lightning Gloria
  
• Skye Nobility Sash
  
• Dark Thunder Master Hair + Locks
  

As a bonus, defeat the Cold Thunder Avatar in /ColdThundre for a chance to get Priestess Eire's Cletiné.

By the way, you might have noticed that I'm not Alina. This is Cylisse, the lead writer, filling in! It's been a while since I've typed up design notes, but with the Rumbling of Cold Thunder's conclusion, there's another Behind the Scenes post coming your way! Soon...maybe...when I find some more time in my pockets...

Big thank you to Crulon for making the new maps, Darkon for the Epilogue Cutscene and Challenge Boss Animations, Immortal Joe for designing and planning the Challenge Boss, and Jongaar for composing its music!
