As the new moon casts its darkest shadow upon the earth, all those attuned to the power of the shadow become newly invigorated. Often times, the loudest strength comes from the quiet still of the darkest night. Are you able to tap into the powers of the new moon, and prove to all that the shadows you command remain the most devestating?

As the path beyond enlightenment opens new doors of power and opportunity for those bold enough to fully trespass the shadow's veil, a select few have learned to command magic with devastating force. Only through steadfast dedication and unwavering perseverance, can the modern mage hope to unlock the powers of the ancients and wield the shadow's energy with the ferocity and capability of an Archmage. Do you have the resolve to see the most difficult of journeys through, pursuing the path toward ultimate power? What would you do with such supremacy once it's obtained?

It becomes ever more important to remain vigilant in even the darkest of shadows, for those seeking the greatest levels of power and control never rest. Only by working together, hand in hand, to resolve problems and overcome obstacles can we hope to remain free in the shadows. How will you define yourself in this modern age of magic, as one who claims their independance, or as one whose independance becomes claimed by the tyranny of another's power?

As the enlightened few begin to reach beyond previous limitations of power, they become a paragon of many things, particularly guidance for those early on the path to magic. It is through the unwavering dedication of each Archmage and their individual earnestness to see their academy succeed, that the final outcome for the battle over magic will be determined. How will you use the knowledge you've gained on the road to greatness? To share and to guide, or to covet and control?

With the 'Rise of the Archmage' update now available and the level cap increased, we will be ...

Enter once more a midsummer spirit hunt of fire and shadow, as the powerful Baldr's Bonfire spirit experiences its inevitable rebirth! Mages striving to posses the ultimate powers of the Archmage should take particular interest of this bright northern spirit, as often that which represents the greatest of dangers also yields the greatest of rewards. Will the burning power of your own indomitable courage be enough to extinguish the fire of that which is capable of igniting the whole of the shadow itself?

The 'Baldr's Rebirth' campaign will begin Monday, June 18 at approximately 4:00 AM PDT ...

When you became enlightened, your mind gained wisdom and understanding in ways well beyond the conceivable. Your clarity and perception were heightened to levels previously unseen and unimaginable. But still, despite the magnitude of such transcendence, your mind remained unable to fully pierce beyond the shadow's veil, nor could it begin to comprehend the infinite complexity of the echo.

The heightened perception of the enlightened mage has unlocked powers never before imagined, for those whose vision now encompasses that which lays beyond the shadow's veil. Simply understanding the complexities and potential existing within the shadow, however, remains a negligible feat when compared to the actuality of commanding the essence of shadow itself. With the path for true power now fully understood, are you ready to take the next step in your journey, and transcend beyond enlightenment?

As the mind gains new perspectives from the great heights achieved by mages called most powerful and wise, new beginnings become an inevitable certainty for the enlightened few. Only by casting aside the taint of impurity born during the confusion of our unawakened past, can we begin the humble journey to understand the true brilliance of shadow. Do you possess the virtue and inherent force of nature necessary to begin anew and uncover the true purity of power the shadow has to offer?

The 'Gateway of Beginnings' campaign will begin Monday, June 4 at approximately 4:00 AM PDT and ...
