Trouble is brewing on the tropical island of Southsun Cove.

The merchants and traders of The Consortium have given shelter to refugees driven from their lands by the Molten Alliance, but many of these new arrivals feel more like prisoners than guests. With the new settlers on the verge of rioting and someone—or something—driving the local wildlife to new heights of aggression, it’s up to you and Lionguard Inspector Kiel to quell the violence and discover the Secret of Southsun!

Calling All Stalwarts:

We've got trouble on Southsun Cove again. Tensions between the resettled refugees and their Consortium hosts are about to boil over, and the local wildlife is more aggressive than ever. On Captain Magnus' orders, I am deputizing any and all qualified volunteers to help me keep the peace. If you're up for a challenge and you have the skills, come see me so we can shut down this unrest before it gets unmanageable.

—Inspector Ellen Kiel

Trivia[edit]

  • The original pre-release article page mistakenly included mention of changes to the World Experience system and the removal of culling from PvE. However, these changes were still in testing and weren't ready for release; the relevant sections were quickly removed from the official article.[1]
