NEW FACTION! Sylvan Watchers!

The time has come! The very much so anticipated Faction that has been hidden in the game for a very very long time has finally been announced, including a host of exciting new Champions coming to the game this week!

Let’s take a look at information we’ve received so far about the Sylvan Watchers:

The Sylvan Watchers are mysterious peacekeepers from the tree-city capital of Nyresa. They follow the law of the Sylvan Court and watch the borders of the Mistwood.

They are fancy, they are cool, and they will have their own accessories of course!

Another important thing to note, is that the Faction Crypt for this Faction will NOT be added any time soon!

New Champions!

With the release of Sylvan Watchers, of course, there will be a host of Champions joining their roster, since of course, what would a faction be without their champions?
