Battle valor and heroic courage have many manifestations: challenge a furious beast in its native element or enter the arena against your equal; descend into the heart of darkness itself or step onto the deck of a ship cursed by the abyss; go on a campaign through the wilderness or beyond time itself; fight back a gang of rampaging bandits or save your allies from certain death. Yet one of the manifestations always shone brighter than all the others - the desire to protect one’s native land from foreign intrusions, to save relatives and friends from the deceit of a treacherous enemy for whom neither borders nor laws are set. Only in this act of selfless heroism can valor and courage be revealed in full.
Lords and Ladies, today our lands celebrate the glorious holiday of the Empire Defender Day - and she, like a true Lady, congratulates all those who embody this glorious image, sung by an endless array of legends and songs. In imperial tradition it is customary to greet this day with a shield in hand to guard its northern borders against the encroachments of demon-possessed spirits of the fallen warriors of the ancient horde. Therefore, the guards of the frontier once again call on all Lords and Ladies from combat level 3 to arrive in one of the following areas: Peaceful Camp, Eagle's Nest, Sunny City, Crystal Garden, Fairy Trees èëè Ungovernable Steppe – and help deter enemy attacks made every 10 minutes. You can face the enemy only if you have fully recruited units, weapon in hand, and the army is fully healed. The number of battles on the border is limited to 23. For a successfully repelled attack the winner will receive one gift card as a trophy, which can be kept or given to any male Lord. Also, if desired, you can show mercy to the enemy - and simply agree to purchase several cards for gold. Gift cards will remain in character information until the end of February. In order to maintain general combat readiness, all of the Empire's taverns will be handing out free recovery drinks.
In addition, so that none of the gift cards earned will not go to waste, the Hunters Guild will give +0.25 guild points for each gift card (not more than 20 HG points in total).
Happy Holidays! Let's show the enemy the power of the true defenders of our native lands! |
