Shadows of War Finale: Master of Fate

This Weekend: the Shadows of War Saga Finale!

After years of conflict, battles, and revelations about yourself and our world... the Shadows of War Saga finale is finally here! This weekend, log in and battle through the final chapter of the Saga to face Malgor the ShadowLord and... the TRUE saga finale boss?! O_O. Be careful. Stay strong. You are our hope.

The Story so Far...

In your journey so far, you've discovered how the Queen of Monsters REALLY died and the truth about WHAT you really are. You've discovered the identity of the Champion of Mana, faced the Elemental Lords themselves, and uncovered the existence of ... something... called the Old World Order. O_O

In c Fate of the Champions, it was WAR! The Avatars were willingto help you hunt Malgor, but to do so, four Elemental Champions needed to serve as their shields. You won the war, but the price was high... maybe too high? It is too soon to tell.

The Shadows of War Saga

Malgor, Leader of the ShadowFlame army, seeks to destroy our world completely... by corrupting the ley lines of Lore -- the veins of magic running through our world. If he succeeds, he will be unstoppable, and we will all be very, VERY dead.
