Welcome to Update 47 - Folly of Kings!
The Folly of Nagakhêdi (12 Player Raid)
"For over a hundred years, the Kintai Elves have battled a mysterious blight, seemingly brought on by the Din of Stone. It has already consumed once-beautiful Adagím, and now threatens the rest of the Elven glades. An investigation by the Rangers Faeron and Rhadrog have tracked the source of the blight to the The Folly of Nagakhêdi, but what dangers lurk inside the ancient and abandoned wonder?"
