GU 115 REIGNITE THE FLAMES is here!
Solusek?s Eye: The Calling [Raid/Heroic]
Years ago, adventurers sought the help of Lord Nagafen, the notorious red dragon of Lavastorm, in exchange for a favor owed at some later date. It seems the time has come; dragon-scratched lava stones have appeared in Qeynos, Freeport, and The Blinding, demanding attention! Level 120 adventurers, answer the call and help defend Solusek's Eye from the mysterious attacks threatening the dragon lord's lair, but do not do so alone. The Heroic and Raid challenges are sure to be great, but the rewards even greater!
The Fabled Plane of War [Raid]
A return to the Plane of War is upon us! Witness the moment at the height of dispute between the God of War: Rallos Zek and his unruly children of war: Tallon, Vallon, and Sullon Zek. As this war raged, the demi-gods found themselves needing the help of mortals to inevitably defeat the Warlord and ascend as the HOUNDS OF WAR! Relive this epic confrontation, if you can get past those loyal to Rallos Zek who will do anything to keep the hounds at bay. The flames of war have been relit with level 120 raid challenges and rewards!
