Flame of the Beyond Saga, Pt 4

The Fire Deceives, the Truth Burns.

This weekend, the Flame of the Beyond saga blazes into its most twisted chapter yet. Log in now and enter the Forge Albedo, a nightmare of steel and fire, where nothing is what it seems. Warlic is slipping further away from the mage you've known for so many years. Battle to separate truth from deception in time to save your friend, but beware... unless you act now, lies waiting in the flames will consume everything you know.

Inside the shadows of Forge Albedo, nothing is certain. Paladins cry for rescue as the flames burn even brighter. But every revelation only deepens the mystery.

This weekend, /join ForgeAlbedo to continue your journey. Before Warlic is lost... forever.
