Dragon Bash 2019

This article is about the release. For the 2019 achievement category, see Dragon Bash (achievements).

After Zhaitan's defeat, Tyrians came together to celebrate something that had long been thought impossible: the death of an Elder Dragon. Now that Mordremoth's been muffled, Kralkatorrik's cracked, and Aurene has ascended, it's time to get back to partying! From June 25 to July 16, Hoelbrak will host the return of the Dragon Bash festival. Bust open dragon piñatas, battle holographic dragon minions in the open world and the new Dragon Arena, bet on moa races, and stuff yourself with zhaitaffy. Kralkatorrik is keeping a watchful eye on the festivities from above, but don’t be alarmed—he’s a hologram, too! — Official website

Knut Whitebear It's time for Dragon Bash! It wouldn't be a proper celebration without your attendance. Join me in Hoelbrak for another moot for the ages! There will be tests of strength, racing, food, song, and most importantly—ale. I'll see you there. Unless, of course, you don't enjoy fun. —Knut "Wrangler of Issormir" Whitebear
