Notes

• There are two versions of this defense event: one where the Risen High Wizard spawns, and one where he doesn't. These events have separate IDs.
• All achievements require the event version with the Risen High Wizard
• When this defense event fails the Gates of Arah meta starts right away with the Secure the Pact staging area at Shank Anchorage event at the Anchorage Waypoint as the usual escort is skipped.
• This defense event starts 1.5 hours after a successful Gates of Arah meta (i.e. after the Risen High Wizard boss dies).
