There are only two rules in the Caverns:
- DON'T touch the skull with red glowing eyes.
- Sometimes, to survive, you have to break the rules.

Legion Soul Cleaver Class
Join the Undead Legion and Unlock Ultimate Power!
Dage the Evil formed the Undead Legion centuries ago, but tonight loyal members of the Legion will have the ability to move up in the ranks... as a Legion Soul Cleaver!
The Legion Soul Cleaver fights best on the brink of death, where you can channel your magical abilities to shred your opponents... starting with their soul. The class mixes both physical and magical attacks, the better to help you rip the soul from your victim!
Soul Cleavers gain mana from all hits landed in combat, especially on crits. The amount depends on damage relative to your own HP total. The lower your health the more you will get.
How to get your own Legion Soul Cleaver Class
1. Become a member of the Undead Legion. For more information on how to do that, read Beleen's Design Notes here. If you're already a member of the Undead Legion, you can:
2. Buy the Class for 2000 Adventure Coins from Ragnar in Battleon or from the Class Shop in your game menu.
3. Buy the Class for 2000 Legion Tokens from Dage's Merge Shop in Shadowfall or the Underworld.
I'm a member of the Legion. How do I get Legion Tokens?
Talk to Dage in Shadowfall or in the Underworld.* Once you've completed the "Fail to the King" quest, you'll have access to many quests that will reward Legion Tokens. Dage also occasionally sells items which will have special quests attached that give you higher-than-normal amounts of Legion Tokens as a reward.
The latest farming quest items are the High Legion Champion and the Exalted Legion Champion armors! When you buy either of those from Dage in Battleon or the Underworld, you unlock quests which has a chance to give you anywhere from 5 to 50 Legion Tokens at once!
* He's only ever in one place at one time, but moves WAY faster than you can see, so he always arrives before you do.
Legion Soul Cleaver Skills
Soul Cleavers gain mana from all hits landed in combat, and especially on crits. The amount depends on damage relative to your own HP total. The lower your health the more you will get.
Soul Rend:
15 MP, 5sec Cooldown
Deals damage based on the difference between your current and maximum HP.
Soul Leech:
40 MP, 17sec Cooldown
Drain life directly from your target's soul. Weakens them lowering their damage and returning health to you for the same amount.
Soul Snare:
30 MP, 35sec Cooldown
Trap your opponents soul from afar stunning them for 4 seconds. Soul Snare cannot be dodged.
Blood Price:
0 MP, 45sec Cooldown
Sacrifice your very life force to increase all damage dealt by 75% and your chance to hit for 12 seconds. For the Legion!
No Pain No Gain:
1st Passive
All damage taken increased by 10%.
Note: the lower your HP, the MORE DAMAGE you do!
Might of the Legion:
2nd Passive
You deal 10% more damage with all attacks.
For the Legion!:
Rank 10 Passive
Every soldier for the legion put's his life on the line. If Dage so chooses he can sacrifice you to strengthen his forces. Chance on auto attack.
FREE Gift Non-Member Pet for Undead Legion Members!
Talk to Dage the Evil in the Underworld to get Sir Liest, an undead legion moglin! This 0 AC, non-member pet is Dage's way to reward his loyal Legion followers.**
** You MUST have completed the "Fail to the King" quest in order to bring the Sir Liest pet with you as you travel!

Undead Legion: First Recruit!
Discover how the Dage's Undead Legion Began!
This Friday, journey to Ravenscar, a cursed town doomed to burn for as long as Dage's Undead Legion stalk Lore! Go back in time to discover the truth of how the first Legion soldier was created in a maelstrom of rage, revenge, and exploitation!

Meet Mina. She's dead now.
At the end of the storyline, you can unlock two shops: one for members of the Undead Legion, and one for those who have not yet declared their allegiance.

The Ancient Undead
How Old IS the Undead Legion...?
Dage's Undead Legion has a long, very dark history. Much came before the Undead Legion as we know it today was formed... and Dage has many plans for it which have not yet been revealed. In order to explore the Legion's history more fully, and better plan out suitable quests, we're going to delay releasing the Ancient Undead set until NEXT week.
Next Friday, we'll release this set along with specific quests to let loyal members of the Undead Legion farm up the tokens necessary to purchase the coming Undead Legion Class! The Class will be available for either a ridiculous amount of Legion Tokens OR for AdventureCoins (but you will need to be a member of the Legion to buy it with ACs).
This Class will NOT go rare, and we are planning to release the Class this Summer. Warriors who have not yet learned of the Legion's power deserve to share in the deadly might and majesty of the coming Class. Fair warning, Legionnaires: You WILL want to start farming early to earn enough Legion Tokens to unlock it, though!
Post-thought: I've got an idea crowding my brain-meat. It might be time for another Legion-based short story. Anyone up for exploring how Dage converted the first warriors to his Undead Legion?
Coming later tonight: Quibble Coinbiter's shop returns! Take on the DoomKitten Challenge boss fight in Warlic's Magic Shop OR tackle the Blood Titan (and ULTIMATE BLOOD TITAN) Challenge boss monsters in Greenguard East!

Legion Legend: Dark Birthday Prophecy
Screams ring out as light floods the once-dark room. Candles extinguished hours ago burn brightly, making shadows dance across the cold chamber walls. The DreamWeaver shudders and clutches her amulet tightly.
Her assistant grabs a quill and scroll, hurrying to record the prophecy the crone gasps out:
Time and fate, the warrior's bane, when eternal glory is the ultimate prize.
New soldiers flood into the shadows surrounding the SoulForge, vowing loyalty to Dage the Evil, ruler of the Underworld. He knows a weapon is only as deadly as its creator... and the metal used to forge it.
What is dead may never die, and he will see the Legion rise.
Looking over the masses of men and women sharpening blades and polishing armors, he sees a new future taking shape. The souls before him will make great warriors IF their edges are sharp enough.
Behind the SoulForge, a hallway lies.
Many battles lay ahead if they are to fully conquer the UnderWorld. Even now, the creatures within it resist, but they are no match for Legion soldiers. No army in history has been stronger, more controlled, or gathered for a greater purpose.
Look through the mirrors to new skies.
The past is dead, he knows, and the dead gone to a realm he cannot touch. Dage looks to the future, to the blades he he will craft, the warriors who will wield them, and the wars they will wage. The Undead Legion are strong, but he will make them stronger. And as their power grows, so does his own.
Where all will fear their battlecries.
Victory waits. Will YOU join the Undead Legion?
