113 *NOR/News Dungeons and Dragons Online
Hail *NOR/!
I would like to acknowledge all who attended the Dungeons & Dragons Online GLUE event on November 14th, 15th, and 16th, 2025. We had a lovely in-game squiring for Squire Santec (congrats, Squire Santec!) We worked hard to get several characters up many levels, get the pre-raid requisite quests done for The Vault of the Night raid, successfully complete The Chronoscope raid, acquire House Kundarak bank favor, and successfully complete part five of The Vault of the Night raid. We were unsuccessful in taking down Velah, the Red Dragon herself in part six due to an “Invisible VolumeTrigger’s” bug dealing 700+ points of damage to each of us; regardless, it was a challenging and enjoyable experience for all.
A special thanks to all who logged in and made their presence known during the GLUE event: Lord Garadian (cleric), Lord Tundrra (cleric), Count Riveni (artificer), Count PointyEars (paladin), Baron Adahi (druid), Knight Pinky (paladin), Knight Doritos (cleric), and Squire Santec (barbarian)!
The Symphony of the Fey, a quasi-Hardcore experience on the Thrane server, began November 19th, 2025 and will run through February 3rd, 2026.
To participate, you must either roll a new level 1 character (for the winter lutes) or utilize an existing character (for the summer lutes) and travel to the House from Beyond just below the Leaky Dinghy in the Harbor. Choose the difficulty of Lute you wish to participate with (I recommend taking all five), quest away, and collect Motes to unlock rewards!
You can receive Motes for completed quests up to three levels beyond the level of the quest you are doing (e.g. if you are a L11 character, you can complete a L8 elite quest, L8 hard quest, L8 normal quest, or L8 casual quest and still receive Motes).
Each increasingly-difficult Lute provides a different reward, so you can ascend through all five Lute options if you so choose!
