An upcoming reward farming boss will be based on the crest of one of four Noble Houses in Greenguard! #AQW A poll will soon go live in-game, and you'll be choosing who gets featured! Check the link for more details! www.aq.com/gamedesignno...

The final cutscene is now viewable in /CarcossaCourt! This concludes Doom Triad III, so stay tuned for the continuation of the Main Story! The Last Sunset is on its way!

Joining the ranks of Victors who conquered the Eclipse Ascent are dark warriors from the Shadowscythe. As they revel and riot, Empress Ai No Miko grows concerned. One of the Doomknights is... they hit a little too close to home. She needs you to rain on their parade.

The release is live! Thousands of Doom Spirits slumber in the depths of Carcossa. An entire army lies in wait, but they won't be of any help to you if the Lightguard... eats them. This time, you'll be fighting for Doom to change your Destiny! It's war!

Side-tangent, sleep deprivation isn't a joke. My chest hurts so much and I can barely string together coherent thoughts😂 Take care of yourselves out there! Don't let work or exams get to you too much!

You know the drill! There are whispers on the wind. Sound those war trumpets!

The release is live! The Shrine of the Four Cardinal Directions, where the Nova Empyrean resides, is suddenly flooded with tourists! Something's going on and maybe this time it's fun? Aria even invited Tara to come hang out! Maybe, just maybe, you'll all get to relax a little.

𝐀𝐥𝐥-𝐀𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐞 "The anaesthetics are way past their expiration date, but it still worked! Good thing Dragons always attacked the Forges. I've got a lot of extra parts to work with. [cracking knuckles sound effect] Sweet dreams, horsey." - Admin B

𝐀𝐥𝐥-𝐀𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐞 "We really need you to start teaching as soon as possible, so this is just a formality. Tell me a little about yourself, Kylokos" - Neveya "Ever since I was a kid, I adored the stars. I started chasing them as soon as I learned how to walk."

Seeing everyone so excited about yesterday's release is super fun! We're taking a little breather in between, so the story will be continuing on June 26th, but here's a tiny peek at what Lae's been working on to keep the hype going. Prepare yourself! It's going to be war!

The release is live! As the world around you is erased by The Law, a single thread of hope dangles in the dark. Deep in Forge Citrinitas, originally the crashed Starship Carcossa, Captain Zigfried promises that he has a solution. The Lightguard plans to get in your way...

The Magnum Opus Forges were actually ancient Starships. What remains of their Captain knows that you're up against the Law... and he may the key to victory. But where is he? Where is his crew? Actually... what are they? What did they become? Tommorow, Carcossa's Cabins open!

𝐀𝐥𝐥-𝐀𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐞 "… Are you real? The humans are gone. They left behind Afterimages that repeat the same words over and over. Our real partners already… Even if we could leave Carcossa, the humans won't remember us. We'll just be strangers to them." - Exiled Shadow

𝐀𝐥𝐥-𝐀𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐞 "It says here that the Head Researcher of Starship Carcossa was conducting experiments on the crew to see if Doom Spirits could become human, and if humans could turn into Doom Spirits. She did this by putting Shadows in Amnion Chambers." - Aleister

There are going to be a few more whispers on the wind come Monday...

I love seeing fanart of Dahlia, and everyone consistently gets it - keeping her gloves on because she wants to hide all the burns + no arms in her true form for the same reason

The release is live! Kha'in, First of the Ifrit, attacked the Palace of Duat, aiming to possess Pharaoh Zhoom and take the Sandsea for themselves. Crulon chased the intruder out into the desert, and he needs your help to eliminate this fallen Marid for good!

𝐀𝐥𝐥-𝐀𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐞 "Kha'in was roaming the deserts long before Pharaoh Zhoom's ascension. He appears as a flame in the core of a violent sandstorm, but never attacked Duat until now. Crulon was able to repel him, but we must give chase. This Djinn covets the throne." - Nefertari

𝐀𝐥𝐥-𝐀𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐞 "The Pharaoh of the Sandsea is recognized by the land itself. If one is judged unworthy, they will feel its rejection. For a time, I was Pharaoh in name only. The Lotus Tomb's healing waters would not heal me, and sandstorms bombarded Duat." - Zhoom

No time to these days to mourn the lost, as if it'd go smoothly in the first place.

What do you mean we're already halfway through 2026!? June, and some dunes and Doom, are here! Let's see what this month has in store for you! (Note - This isn't a substitute for DNs or the Calendar. The schedule can suddenly change if there's an emergency.)

The release is live! The Palace of Duat bustles with life. Scholars and Clerics work night and day, seeing to the people's needs as Pharaoh Zhoom watches over the Sandsea. He has you to thank for this new era of peace. His home is yours, and Zhoom hopes you'll come for a visit.

Tomorrow, Pharaoh Zhoom welcomes you into his palace. Once the lair of Sek-Duat, it now shines like a ruby in the City of Duat. You'll meet Explorers and Lorekeepers who need your help to recover the Sandsea's lost history. But don't forget to relax and take in the view!

Things are slowly starting to get back to normal for me, and I'm working on posting daily again. Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who said hi or happy birthday! I completely forgot it came and went with how much was going with my family. That meant a lot.

𝐀𝐥𝐥-𝐀𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐞 "Ah, Pharaoh Zhoom's dear friend! My name is Faiza. The other Lorekeepers and I were invited to the Palace of Duat to restore its library. If circumstances were different, there'd be a Loremaster tending to our scrolls instead."

𝐀𝐥𝐥-𝐀𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐞 "Sek-Duat ruled the Sandsea under false pretences for 15 generations. I'd be surprised if there was a single grain of truth left in the Duat Palace's library." "If there's anyone who can recover our lost history, it's a Surehunter."

Just wanted to clear some confusion since I've been seeing a lot of chatter, plus AQW:I's Alpha is coming up soon (super excited!) Current main story is not leading directly into AQW:I It would have been a really cool set up, but that puts too much pressure on the teams.

Along the shore the cloud waves break, The twin suns sink behind the lake, The shadows lengthen, In C̵̨̻̹̮̖̺̥̀͑͘͝ạ̷̖͎͙͇̮̩̓̚r̴̛͇̲̝̺͌͂̈̀c̶͕̦̭̆ȯ̴̺̰̋̄s̶̡̧̲̹̖̟̞͒͘š̶͖͉̲͎̼͙̍̿̔͑a̷̠̻̲͉̯̭̅͠.̴̞̱̳̎͒̈́͊̿͝ Doom Triad III is live! Delve into /ForgeCitrinitas, and Doom this destiny!

You'll need to be fully caught up with Age of Ruin to play this week's release as it's part of the main story. This map is permanently available so you can play it at your leisure. Check your progress by accessing the adventure map from /RubedoPeak's NPC

As an additional notice, I won't be online tomorrow to handle family affairs. The usual posts will be made later during the weekend.

Your friends, your home, everything you care about is being erased. Soon, The Law will turn their gaze on you, and become the creator of a new world. The one place you can hide is Forge Citrinitas, but exactly what are the Forges? Tomorrow, the puzzle will slowly come together

𝐀𝐥𝐥-𝐀𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐞 Daji: You sir, should unmask. Stranger: Indeed? Colossus: Indeed, it's time. We all have laid aside disguise but you. Stranger: I wear no mask. Daji: (With a look of pity, aside to the Colossus) No mask. (sighs and shakes her head) No mask.

𝐀𝐥𝐥-𝐀𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐞 - A Passing Conversation from the Past “Did you receive an invitation to Castaigne Hall? I don’t want to go alone.” “Unfortunately, yes. Queen Marjorie's second funeral, or rather, her ‘celebration of life.' Can't believe we have to attend twice."

You might overhear a couple of whispers over the course of the week. Hint Hint - stay tuned for Doom Triad III Part 1 (And this time, I'll compile them all in a list in a couple of weeks).

Psst psst, with Doom Triad III coming next week, be on the looking for whispers come Monday.

The release is live, and you've been invited into Swordhaven's ballroom and courtyard! Straighten your back and powder your nose, because the Nobles are going to size you up! As more maps exploring the Crest Beasts are released, the NPCs here will connect you to them. #AQW

𝐀𝐥𝐥-𝐀𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐞 "Greenguard's Nobility and their Knights mingle in Swordhaven's courtyard. Some are from grand houses with tumultuous histories, while others quietly dangle from the branches of those magnificent family trees. You might see a familiar face or two." #AQW

Due to an aforementioned family emergency, Doom Triad III Part 2 will be postponed to June. My apologies for this sudden change. But, it won’t be an empty week. We’ll be exploring the Sandsea Royal Palace hub instead!

Hi Everyone! We just released the FoTB Epilogue last Friday, bringing the third saga of Age of Ruin to a close. Next week, we’ll be jumping right into Doom Triad III! I did say I’d try to make a DN post about what would have happened if the World Boss wasn’t defeated in time.

The release is live! Join /RubedoPeak to watch the Flame of the Beyond's epilogue, and prepare for what's to come. Panic, chaos, fear and worst of all... Silence. The Law has deemed your world disorderly and imperfect. You'll need to fight to prove that you deserve to exist.

I won't be a hundred percent back for a while. Things are still pretty tough, but on Monday, I'll try to make a short DN post about what the alternate ending would have been.

𝐀𝐥𝐥-𝐀𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐞 The Law is seizing the throne of creation, a seat they believe you stole when you fused the timelines. Who will have a place in The Law's vision of a perfect and orderly world? Find out tomorrow, when the Flame of the Beyond's epilogue goes live!

𝐀𝐥𝐥-𝐀𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐞 "This is Admin B here with a little trivia! When you went looking for the Voice in the Sea, former Court Mage Adreanna Noelle let you into Seabase Undine. On your adventure in Skye, Court Mage Felix Taylor helped you find the Rumbling of Cold Thunder.

It's about midnight EST and this post has been up for about a week. I'll continue to keep an eye on suggestions for another week -> May 5th After that, I won't be able to take more ideas into consideration. Given that the end of AoR is projected to be next year ->

Last Friday was the Flame of the Beyond's finale, but surprise surprise! This isn't actually the end of Age of Ruin, so let's see what's coming next in May. (Note - This isn't a substitute for DNs or the Calendar. The schedule can suddenly change if there's an emergency.)

"They'll destroy their father's legacy. I know they will." #AQW

Congratulations! The World Boss has been defeated! It's time. The final sunset is upon us.

I was hoping to congratulate you guys on getting the World Boss down to 50%, but you were way faster than that! Just a little more!

The Age of Ruin began when the Old Worlds’ Order sent you to neutralize the Voice in the Sea, the Rumbling of Cold Thunder, and finally - The Flame of the Beyond. Aleister will bring an end to this era, the world, everything. But, what about you? How do you want this to end?
