My Dear Triune Followers,
Within the Oasis of Kir, the Vissal, a once powerful snake-like people continue to work on something incredibly dark and evil deep within a locked and mysterious temple. Born of blasphemous magical conjuring’s, the Vissal haven’t been seen for years, but they are devout and loyal followers of Dragnorox. Being created from the essence evil, they love and adore the wickedness of all that is foul within Mithir. They used to fiercely pursue the death of those who oppose Dragnorox, so be wary my friend, be sure to work in secret. Just because they haven’t been seen in many moons, doesn’t mean they are gone. Their lack of presence gives us confidence that there is much being built within the shadows. In fact, it is our sole focus to discover what they are working on behind the doors of the temple they have taken refuge within.
Head to the Western shores of the Oasis and work with Balan to obtain a key to the temple. He has been working for some time on the secrets around getting a key. Between The Charbearers and their work on dealing with the magic items found there and his uncovered mysteries, we believe we are close to creating a key.
Whether it be magic of unknown power and origin or some creature more foul than the old Dragon’s, there is much to discover within the Oasis. Head there quickly and may the Triune be with you.

Zone Feature - Ashen Valley
The Southeastern area of Ashen Valley is home to a Druid Occult loyal to Dragnorox. Their efforts to torture, slay and sacrifice Elves upon the altar of Dragnorox worship is one of the most vile practices within Mithir. Their efforts are hindered greatly by the efforts of The White Sky, a group seeking to save and rescue to the Elves from the Druids, the Vilem and Dragonorox’s other followers. Join The White Sky in Ashen Valley to bring home as many Elven brethren as possible.
Creature Feature - Ulfur
The Ulfur are a wicked bloodthirsty aberration created by Malkor, a Councili Tenadaii member with an expertise on using magic to create new creatures and their foul deviations.
The Ulfur will attack anyone who they see and will ravage their foes with their hardened antlers. Ulfur hides are known for their excellent toughness and malleability in crafting, so the reward in their death can often be worth the risk.
Testing Update
Hey Everyone,
Thank you so much for your patience during this build phase. After our first round of testing, there was a LOT to get done and this is easily our biggest milestone and development update. To make up for this large length of development time, we’re going to let you explore 5 new zones in the next test instead of the originally promised 3. You’ll be able dive into all sorts of new areas, mysteries, secrets, quests and events. There is so much to learn about Dragnorox, The Triune, Councili Tenadaii, The White Sky, The Charbearers, The Vilem, and so so much more. We’re really excited to push this next phase out as soon as possible.
That being said, here is our tentative schedule:
August 1st - Deploy Latest Patch and Update to our small group of early testers.
Late August/Early September - Run multiple and longer testing sessions for the public.
I hate taking so long to let people back into the game, but it’s important that we deliver this to you correctly. We’ve built out some new server manager tools for stability (so we can run longer tests), so many bug fixes, zone updates, performance updates, and more. Eternal Tombs will be the one of the most fun and exciting MMORPG’s ever created and we’re committed to giving you the best experience possible. We want a full and exciting experience for you all that’s built upon a reliable technology stack, even as we test, so thank you for your patience and allowing us to build this world out for you.
