The Cleft of Dimensions is constantly being updated, poked, prodded, and tweaked. To keep everyone informed of the various changes, the Immortals semi-regularly post Change Notes in-game. This page will copy those notes as well.

  • Lockers now available for use in Truce and Viorar banks, and for purchase in player housing.
  • Faron Woods is now linked north of Zigolis Swamp!

For Builders:

  • New spells: Doom Reverb, Sonic Boom, Vitriol, Firebreath, Gastro Acid, Influenza, Skylight, Grease( Influenza and Grease are castable but have no effect yet).
