THE HERALD

The shadows stir once more in Breifine.

Lilith, the Demon Queen of Darkness Falls, has returned, drawn not by chance, but by bloodshed. As battle erupts across the Old Frontiers, each fallen player feeds her power. When enough lives are claimed, Lilith will manifest to reap what has been sown.

But she does not rise alone.

The Picts, once scattered marauders of Breifine, have aligned themselves with Lilith’s growing influence. These raiders now roam the land once more, striking at any who cross their path.

Players can now speak with the OF Emain Teleporter in their realm’s main relic town for entry into Old Frontiers Breifine.

Rites of Spring Event

[Spring] Grand Harbinger

For years the Rites of Spring have called for the hunting of hares across the land. A creature has begun to appear on the island, larger and more aggressive, and drawn from the killing of it’s kin. When it appears, it must be put down.

This quest replaces the [Patricks] Too Bigg for His Boots quest as an encounter in the center of Ellan Vannin, and follows the same awards and credit as Bigg O’Lucky.

Players who already have the St. Patrick’s Day quest will receive the new quest automatically. Otherwise, this quest can be picked up from the below NPCs:

• Albion: Lady Idris in Catterick Hamlet
• Hibernia: Yda Llonwy in Crair Treflan
• Midgard: Fathor in Godrborg

Visit the following to receive the Rites of Spring quest:

• Albion: Sir Yvain in Castle Sauvage or in the Catterick Hamlet relic town
• Midgard: Sinfjotli Sigmundarson in Svasud Faste or in the Godrborg relic town
• Hibernia: Fionn mac Cumhaill in Druim LIgen or in the Crair Treflan relic town

Remember, the quest is battlegroup credit and also automatically given upon defeating the Harbinger of Spring so don’t worry if you forgot to grab it. Additionally, this encounter has been updated in difficulty, and also now awards realm points to all those within a generous radius of the Harbinger of Spring when he dies. Note: All characters will be able to obtain the Gem of the Harbinger (or one of its variants) and Bracelet of Springtime Folly, even if they got one last year!

Defeat the Harbinger to receive your very own Bunny Mount.

In celebration of St. Patrick’s Day and running from Today, Monday March 16th until Thursday, March 19th, a random-object-generated (ROG) reward awaits those who complete the annual ‘Leprechaun Treasure’ quest. Please remember – one quest completion per character, per year!

To obtain the quest, level 50s should pay the following poor souls a visit to help them ease their woes.

• Edmund in Cotswold’s tavern
• Bjorne in Mularn’s beer hall
• Silvadren in Mag Mell’s pub

• As part of the quest, players will be shapeshifted into a realm-specific “leprechaun” but have ALL of their stats debuffed by 75%.
• But fear not, leprechauns may be weak but they are also nigh impossible to catch: shapeshifted players will also have an unbreakable CC-immunity and speed buff for the duration of the shapeshift.
• Oh, and we hear the real leprechauns love hiding their treasure around the center of Ellan Vannin. Enjoy some zany RvR throughout the event!
• The ROG reward is a choice between a ring or a bracer similar to the standard Valentine’s Day Imp quest with some slight differences. These ROGs will only allow up to 5 slots for stats but will also have 1 of 6 possible /uses.
• Players that interact with the ‘Leprechaun Treasure’ will also receive the One-Time Drop (OTD) reward, Patches’ Mug.
• This OTD can only be obtained once ever on a character (and not a new one each year).
• Players must be on the ‘Leprechaun Treasure’ quest to interact with the Leprechaun Treasure and obtain this OTD.

[St Patricks] Too Bigg for His Boots

It seems one leprechaun celebrated the festival a little too enthusiastically, and somehow ended up enormous. Find this oversized menace on Ellan Vannin and take care of him.

Players can speak to the below NPC’s to pick up this quest. This quest auto renews and auto completes, awards realm points upon completion, and is area credit within a generous radius on Ellan Vannin (excluding safe ports and underneath Knoc Meayll). (Ywain only)

• Albion: Lady Idris in Catterick Hamlet
• Hibernia: Yda Llonwy in Crair Treflan
• Midgard: Fathor in Godrborg

For players of all level ranges, there are three pesky little tricksters who are hoping you’re not too lucky! A ‘charming’ reward will be bestowed upon those who have the cunning to out-wit:

• Killaghe in Albion
• Daighu in Midgard
• Iollarme in Hibernia

The “Luck of a Leprechaun” quest can be obtained from the following:

• Sir Prescott in Cotswold
• Hrolf in Mularn
• Epona in Mag Mell

Additional Notes:

• As the Dominion event has now moved to Ellan Vannin, the keeps of Caer Benowyc, Bledmeer Faste, and Dun Crauchon have returned to their normal state.

Once again, this event will conclude on Thursday, March 19th!

We wish you a happy and safe St. Patrick’s Day!

The struggle for control of the frontiers never rests. Across the realms the war for dominance continues as each realm seeks to secure key strongholds and push back enemy forces.

Commanders have issued new orders to their warriors to strike at the strategic beachhead keeps of the frontier and prove your strength against those who stand in your path. Those who rise to the challenge will earn Dominion Marks, to be traded in for ancient Mythirians and new shields to aid you in battle.

Players can speak to the following NPC’s to receive two new quests:

• Albion: Lady Idris in Catterick Hamlet
• Hibernia: Yda Llonwy in Crair Treflan
• Midgard: Fathor in Godrborg

This quest auto renews and auto completes.

[Dominion] Banners of War

The final, final, hunt moves to Ellan Vannin! With so many fragments changing hands, restraint has collapsed and the island has been declared PvP active for the duration of this rotation.

There are no allegiances, no safety, only fragments and those willing to claim them.

As always with PvP, some spells have been adjusted to affect home realms. Treasure Hunters remain active, and Map Fragments may be earned by completing event quests. However, on Ellan Vannin the Master Treasure hunter will spawn only in the center of Meayll Hill, is ranged area credit just as in the various battlegrounds, and is still player kill based.

Ellan Vannin PvP  and the Map Fragments event will end on Monday, March 9th, 2026.

The Killaloe Battleground now stands as the center for the hunt as the event moves once again.

Continue your search for Map Fragments, the Master Treasure Hunter, and the enemy! As with previous rotations, progress will carry over into Killaloe.

The Map Fragments event will end on Monday, March 2nd, 2026.
