DUNGEONS AND INSTANCES

HAMMERKNELL FORTRESS

* Apostles of Jornaru now have a larger global cooldown after using Aqueous Bolt.
* Long ago, when the Soulrender Zilas was known only as Zilas, he was traveling the long roads. Weary from his travel, he stopped at the edge of the Plane Touched Wilds to rest, and it was there that his life changed. For there was a scoundrel lurking in the shadows, watching Zilas as he unpacked his goods and set up camp.

It was well known to all that traveling tinkers such as Zilas often carried trinkets of great worth, and the clever rogue planned on taking some of the goods for himself. As darkness fell, he leapt from his hiding place, casting incapacitate. In the end, the scouldrel stole three things from Zilas: Bowlf the talking potato, Kytus the houndpup, and a pair of blue suede socks.

When Zilas came to his senses, he was enraged. He vowed never to let himself be attacked by a stealthy rogue again, and spent long hours teaching himself how to see stealth from a distance. This ability was not perfect, as once a rogue got next to Zilas, the ability to dispel stealth failed. Until recently, this spell was denoted by headlight beams coming out of Zilas’ eyes. This warning let rogues know when not to approach and, well… blinded Zilas quite badly. After practicing this spell, Zilas has finally learned how to suppress his headlight beams while still being able to prevent rogues from stealthing when around him.

– Too long didn’t read? Zilas no longer has headlight beams.
