Of Special Note:
Tier 1 of the new raid "Temple of Utug-bûr" releases 12:00 PM Eastern on Thursday February 27th!
The Dagor Carlanthir, the Battle of the Red Waterfall, is over. Scouts searching for any sign of Azagath Sea-shadow or his evil masters have discovered a hidden passage along the cliffside overlooking the valley: an unsealed passage into Utug-bûr! Braving both their own unease and the stench of death, the advance scouts discovered a vestibule within the crumbling structure. Establishing a small outpost at this intersection among the ruins, they wait for their heroic allies to press further into the darkness and confront an evil from out of time…
