Chapter 2
Call of the Guardian
The World Tree's call reaches further than anyone expected. Beyond the sanctuary of Veledor, the guardian druids Vedr and Varg await adventurers to untangle the chaotic mana left behind by the shattered balance of dimensions. The journey leads from the sanctuary into the burning homeland of the Harvans, Kindlebrook, down the frozen Root of Death and into the hidden depths of Nyrholt, where something precious has been stolen. This chapter continues the story of Chapter 1 with new regions, new allies, two new dungeon chains, three instances and a new equipment tier.
