1. New Zone Great Prairie of the West.png

Sparkle · Aug 31, 2024

Added a new Auroria region: Great Prairie of the West.
Added the path to the Great Prairie of the West to the southeast of the Eastern Hiram Mountains.
Added 5 new BGMs and 16 new monsters of Hiram Mountains.
Added "Soul of the Prairie" and "Sun Father Statue" that grant you buff effects.
Added Race Quests, Region Quests, and achievements of the new Great Prairie of the West region.
Added the “Bard of the Prairie” chronicle, achievement, title, and icon.
The Great Prairie of the West will have Conflict and War times on Fridays and Saturdays: Conflict at 9:30 pm –10:00 pm server time (EST) and War at 10:00 pm –11:00 pm server time (EST).

The Great Prairie of the West is located on the southeastern side of the Hiram Mountains surrounding the Navel of the World.
With the Hiram Mountains blocking the east side, the prairie's ecology has been stable, away from external influences, and the warm-climate vegetation has kept the animals well fed.
Back during the times of Auroria before the exodus, the Firran inhabited this plac. For nomad Firran, this giant prairie was a great place to make their eternal lands.
The words of the Firran's hero "Tahyang," said two thousand years ago, before his final battle that he would return to the Great Prairie, it is the dream of today's Firran to reclaim this place.

The "Wildflower Forest" is made of trees that feed on the mist and dew from the Hiram Mountains.
The mist and dew containing the energy exuded from the Navel of the World are said to have given a magical power to the herbs of this land.

The "Forgotten Spike" is located at the center of the Great Prairie of the West, but the reason behind its existence is unknown even to the Bards.
However, because its shape is similar to that of the spike used by Tahyang, you might face yet another legend of the Firran once the lost story is recovered.

In Terena, there are the remains of an architecture you don't see in the Firran architecture. These remains are greatly damaged because of age, but they still preserve the traces of the Epherium Kingdom who once subjugated the Firran.
There are also traces of ancient Firran tents with faded bloodstains that seem to indicate this place was used as temporary housing for captured Firran.
The fact that many Firran were sacrificed by Anthalon's magic is historically recorded.

The soaring mountain in the Great Prairie is called "Plains Eye."
This place was where Tahyang gathered the Firran upon discovering the world ravaged by war because of Kyrios.
It was at this moment that someone, watching Tahyang and his people climbing the mountain, said that they were like "the whip of the wind,"
as the sunlight reflected on the mane of a snowlion had the shape of a whip. Hence the group born from this gathering later received the name of "Windwhip."
The Firran performed their rituals to the sun-father at this place and considered it sacred, and their altar still remains here.
It is indeed a historically important place for the Firran.

Sparkle · Aug 31, 2024

The blood of many Firran heroes were spilled on the grounds of the Great Prairie from the Terena battle.
While there was peace on the prairie, the desires of the fallen heroes who wanted to protect the prairie became spirits and remained on the grounds.
Tombstones were erected to commemorate their sacrifice, but when those spirits that couldn't yet depart met the strange power of this land, "guardians" were born.
One cannot usually meet a guardian.
However, it's said that when one paid a tribute to the altar of the Wind God and the Sun God, and prayed to the gods for protection, a guardian appeared to protect the prayer and their surroundings.
Nevertheless, records about the guardians faded away as the prairie was left abandoned for ages.

Added the Great Prairie of the West Guardian Scramble.
Guardian Scramble is a complex faction competition content that revolves around "guardians" in the Great Prairie of the West
Guardian Scramble is held every Friday and Saturday in the Great Prairie of the West at 10:00 pm – 11:00 pm server time (EST).
Recommended level is Ancestral Level 35 and there is no limit on the number of participants.
Added quests related to the Great Prairie of the West Guardian Scramble.
Added Equipment Point limit to Guardian Scramble quests to 11,000 points.

Guardian Scramble Components

There are 6 Guardian Totems around the center of the Great Prairie of the West.
The totems do not usually reveal their power, but when war is imminent, the power of the guardians is gathered, activating the totems, and wild guardians make their appearance.
Each faction (Nuian, Haranyan, and Pirate) can summon its guardian by offering "Traces of a Wish" to the Guardian Totem upon defeating wild guardians.
When battle begins in the Great Prairie of the West, the factions dispatch archers to the bases for Guardian Scramble.
When the archers are placed, the bases become faction resurrection locations and has Guardian Scramble related mission NPCs spawn.
The archer NPC at the faction base of the Great Prairie of the West will now only spawn during war times.
Players at the center of the faction base receive a protection effect which makes them immune to all damage.
Players who enter bases of hostile factions will have their physical and magical skills locked and have their ATK and DEF decreased.
Yearning Altar is where the power of yearning gathers. Advancing the guardian here and controlling the altar will allow you to quickly accumulate faction points.
Therefore, advancing the guardian to the Yearning Altar and holding it is the ultimate goal of Guardian Scramble.
Traces of a Wish is the crystallization of the blood and yearnings of the Firran warriors who fought in the Terena war.
You can find them in various forms. Some have seeped into ores, while some became highly condensed crystals.
Defeat wild guardians and make offerings to your totem to call your faction's guardian or grow your summoned guardian.

Guardian Scramble: Guardian

Guardians are the centerpiece of Guardian Scramble who are both your ally and targets for the enemy.
Guardians are randomly summoned and can only be summoned or commanded by Faction Heroes.
Giving a certain number of Traces of a Wishes to the summoned guardian allows them to grow into a higher form.
Higher stage guardians have much better abilities and health, which gives them a boost in survivability.
They also provide more faction points the higher stage form they take.

Randalus
A blue wolf spirit with deer horns that appears in the creation legends of the Firran.As a spirit, it prefers to use powerful soundwave attacks to inflict fear upon the enemy instead of physical attacks, and provides benefits to its allies.
Buhowk
A bipedal guardian with the body of a bear and the head of an owl.As suggested by its looks, it prefers to use brute force against enemies and is the most destructive of the guardians.
Snokrumm
A flying guardian in the form of an ice snake with wings.
It uses ice magic to enemies nearby and is the only guardian with healing abilities.
