New High Level Dungeon Introduced in Runes of Magic
The Origin Leads Players Along the Elf Kingdom’s Sunken Paths
The secret of the Elven folk in Runes of Magic has laid deeply hidden in the
Aslan Valley for centuries. Yet dark demons have corrupted the Ents, the
peace-loving guardians of this holy place, which is known throughout Taborea as
‘The Origin’. Beginning September 15th, brave adventurers can explore Runes of
Magic’s high level group dungeon, ‘The Origin’ and support the Elves in leading
the Ents back to the righteous path.
In the instance, players encounter opponents which are closely bonded to
nature and have settled under the open skies in an abandoned Elven city.
Together with elemental beings and the powerful Ents, players face mutant
beetles and bloodworms, which have brought about the corruption.
Players will have to confront four bosses before they can unlock the secret
of the Elves and bring the sacred tree, Falynum, back to its senses. The
encounter with the giant tree presents a huge challenge: In the course of the
combat, Falynum summons assistance. Later on, an opponent who was already
believed to have been beaten returns to the fray.
After ‘The Origin’ goes live on September 15th, additional instances will be
added to the new zones of ‘Chapter II –
The Elven Prophecy’. With this, Frogster is ensuring that the second chapter of
Runes of Magic will also give players a broad range of challenges in the high
level areas.
