Heroes of Arkesia,
The Darkness Legion Commander’s arrival is imminent. Thaemine is the most powerful of the Legion Commanders who once conquered half of Petrania alone, long ago. After facing Kazeros, he accepted the role of the Legion Commander of Darkness. Now, the loyal knights imbued with Thaemine's dark blessings rush to Arkesia, leading demons from other Legions. The saga of Thaemine will unfold throughout the month of April, with three key dates for adventurers to keep an eye on.
Thaemine’s Arrival
The Thaemine Prologue Dark Days story questline arrives tomorrow, on April 3. In this new storyline, players will help Thirain investigate new, mysterious events unfolding in Luterra. Find the release notes for the prologue in the next section.
Two weeks later, the Darkness Legion Commander will arrive in Arkesia. The Thaemine Legion Raid Normal and Hard difficulties will release on April 17, in the major April monthly update. Triumphing over Thaemine in his dark fortress will grant players the ability to claim new power in the form of a new progression system— Transcendence. As we approach Thaemine’s arrival in the major April update, more details on the new systems and other content updates can be found in the release notes.
During the weekend following the April update, the original Thaemine The First difficultly will open for a special race to clear on April 20. Later this week, we’ll release an article with details for players eager to compete.
