NW ToD

Season of Dragons continues as the Cult of Dragons amasses outside the once secure sanctuary of Protector’s Enclave, and Sergeant Knox has sent out a call to the heroes of Faerûn to sally forth and onto the grim battlefield and strike their foes before they can destroy the safety of the city of Neverwinter.

From September 18, 2014 until September 25, 2014, players are tasked with defending Neverwinter from encroaching foes in the new Siege Battlefield area. Two new Heroic Encounters will challenge players with a variety of different battle types and assaults from furious dragons. Additionally, a new profession will enable players to craft defensive supplies and work to protecting the brave warriors who venture past the safety of the walls.

For their work, players will earn new fashion items, enchantments, companions, and more. More details on these items can be found here: www.arcgames.com/en/games/neverwinter/news/detail/7005153
