New Beacons on the Map! Capture them before your Rivals or Balur!

My Lords and Ladies,

The gods bestowed blessing upon us - new Beacons have appeared throughout Darkshine! The Beacons are the only hope for resisting the rising tide of darkness that now threatens Stormfall – though they will not be easy to take from Balur’s grasp!

The Leagues that rebuild and control these sacred temples can save Stormfall, projecting their power over surrounding territories and rising above their rival Leagues. Your League's ability to capture, hold, and rebuild the Beacons will determine its standing and the borders of its realm. As your League conquers and strengthens Beacons, your growing influence over the lands of Stormfall will be shown on the Imperial Map.

Any League that captures a Beacon must defend it from increasingly powerful waves of Balur’s orcish hordes. The battles shall be brutal, but you will have one secret weapon. The enchantments woven into the foundations of each Beacon have the power to absorb the Dark Essence of all of Balur's spawn slain while attacking it. Your League may use this Essence to perform a dark ritual to "Darken" your own Units - reducing their need for food, increasing their strength, and improving their effectiveness in combat.

Rise to the battle! Locate these Beacons, rally your League and capture them for Stormfall before your rivals do! Make haste!

Lord Oberon

Heir of Veyon, Scion of the Firstborn, Lord Regent of Stormfall
