Current release: “Dragon Bash”
The Dragon Bash festival has returned to Hoelbrak! Starting today and running until July 8, the norn capital has once again transformed into a celebration of defiance, laughter, and a whole lot of piñata smashing!
Dragon Bash is open to players of all levels, and it’s packed with activities you can jump into right away. From brawling with holographic dragons to betting on moas, there’s something for every kind of adventurer. And of course, there’s a fresh batch of rewards to earn, including the new Raven-Blessed Visage, the Sacred Raven’s weapon set, and more!
