Hey folks! I know some of you prefer to read rather than watch the event videos, so here’s the transcript for the video!

Intro
Hey Travelers and Heroes,
We’re excited to introduce you to Thronemakers – our newest event that blends the inventive challenges experienced in Beastfelled along with some great rewards that provides your character some brand new skills. This event is packed with content, so let’s cover some of what you can expect to experience this month in both Hero of Aethric and Orna.
.
Thronemakers
Meet the Aaru Storyteller, who will be your guide this month as you explore the origin story of the great kingdoms. Chronologically, this historical tale takes place just after the great dragons you experienced in Wyrmhunt created the world you live and fight in today. You’ll first encounter the Aaru Storyteller at Tier 4, so be sure to reach level 75 before seeking out this questline.
Throughout the month, you will face unique challenges such as completing a battle using a brand new Thronemakers spell, collecting potions and learning their origins and codex the new event raids that can be found both in Kingdoms or summoned to the World.
Facing off against these raids will reward players with gear that provides your followers additional skills, much like the gear in last month’s Beastfelled event. If you’re an early Tier 10 Realmshifter seeking Bloodshift – we’ve got you covered.
By completing all of the challenges and hearing a historical tale, your end of questline reward will be the Tail of a Sphinx, an item that will provide you with additional luck as well as an increased chance of Ornates dropping!
For late-game players who crave a challenge, the Great Sphinx is the Super Raid of the month. This Super Raid drops gear that provides YOU with spells and abilities, rather than your follower. This gear even marks the debut of some brand new, and quite powerful spells.
In order to face off against this formidable foe, you’ll have to first defeat the Arisen variants of the 3 new Thronemaker raids: Sekhmet, Ptah and Neith who will each drop a unique Old Seal of the Great Kingdoms.
You’ll have to make a choice with these seals though: will you craft a Scroll of Dynasty to summon the Great Sphinx – or will you visit the Monumental Guild and roll on an event specific gear piece called the Eastern Regalia – a weapon that will remove your follower in order to provide you with boosted power! Choose wisely!
In addition to all of this, you can also expect both new Followers and a Summon to chase this month.

Mini & Booster Events
On top of a jam packed event debut, we’ve also got some mini events for you to grab some new gear or receive some boosts across our games.
For Mini-Events this month Balor Invades returns from March 10th to the 15th.
We’ve also got the Mischievous Clurichauns arriving to cause mayhem in dungeons between March 20th to 25th.
In addition to mini-events, we’ve also got a lineup of booster events starting with a Spelunking event offering reduced dungeon cooldowns from March 2nd to 3rd, An Orna exclusive event: Giant Steps returns to boost your steps taken and manifest those Monster Aspects faster between March 3rd and march 7th. A lucky event boosts your item acquisition from March 17th to 18th and we’re ending off the month with an Orns event from the 23rd to the 24th.
Sprite Packs
Thronemakers also brings a few sprite packs to the fold. This month, you can get the Thronemakers Pack, which includes some Aaru-themed sprites. We’ve also got a Legendary Sprite Pack this month that has both a Thronemakers themed snake charmer sprite as well as an animated Nagganeen sprite – watch out for the flies.
Later this month, we’ll be launching an Animated Follower Sprite Pack that will reskin one of the obtainable followers from Thronemakers.
Outro
And that concludes our deep-dive on the Thronemakers event. This month, we set out to focus on community feedback from various events in the past and put together one of our richest and most content dense events to date. We really hope you enjoy Thronemakers as it launches on March 1st. See you next month!
