Introducing Black Rose Keep
Pantheon Community,
Greetings! The team has been pouring heart and soul into Black Rose Keep and we’re thrilled to finally be at the stage where we can start sharing more with you. Even better, we're so close now to releasing the zone and seeing you all experience it for yourselves.
Black Rose Keep has become something truly special to us. From the intricate design and prop detail of the Keep itself, to the challenge it presents, to the geographical contrast of the chasm that stretches far below and the rich lore that ties it so deeply into Thronefast’s story... there’s so much here to love. It’s without a doubt one of our favorite areas we’ve built, and we can’t wait to see you dive in and make your own stories within its walls!
Highlights
In this upcoming major content release, players will be able to journey to the infamous Black Rose Keep. Here are some highlights that players can expect:
- Explore a Vast new Dungeon: The sprawling fortress is filled with challenges, secrets and treasures for groups of adventurers from level 15 to 40.
- Conquer Black Rose Keep: Delve into the fortress to face two epic boss encounters and hunt down over 20 rare NPCs. Loot and glory awaits.
- Descend into the Chasm: Venture far beneath the Keep into the chasm labyrinth where you may chance upon the camp of the nomadic Aridola. But tread carefully...Zakaat goblins and countless other deadly creatures have made the maze their home.
- Peer Into Thronefast's Past: Players can gain insight into pivotal moments in the kingdom's recent history and the shadowy intrigue surrounding E'mani Karos and his Black Rose.
- Use Your Perception: Investigate rumors, overhear whispered conversations, and unravel a web of intrigue behind Thronefast’s recent turmoil, from the disaster in the Veil of Azeris to the shadowy organizations vying for power in its wake.
Rumors persist of merchants, nobles and even Thronefast Regulars being attacked across the southern lands. Some have reported seeing mercenary soldiers manning the Keep's walls. But with no official word on the status of the Keep itself, some adventurers have been compelled to investigate.
Those that do should be prepared for a hostile reception.

Black Rose Keep is scheduled to be open to players, starting August 27th.
