New Area: Balaurea
The expansive lands of Atreia are growing, as Balaurea reveals itself for conquest! Both Elyos and Asmodians call this place home, with Elyos in Inggison and Asmodians in Gelkmaros. Each region has two fortresses and four artifacts to capture. Owning a fortress grants factions entry to Silentera Canyon, where the new instance, Beshmundir Temple, awaits.
In Balaurea, you'll challenge monsters of level 51 or higher, making it perfect for reaching the new level cap!
