The future looks dim, the horizon appears bleak, and the sky takes on an unnatural shade as the Endless Court stalks Telara in search of unfortunate victims from which to conjure undead servants. What’s more, the scourge hungers for Sourcestone power with which to grow in strength and malice. Deepstrike Mine has been taken, and Scarlet Gorge looks like a mass grave of sadistic foulness. Dark forces that once hid themselves away are now fearless to be seen by any mortal, and prey on all that cross their paths. Once again, the heroes of Rift are put to the test…
The once majestic Port Scion has been ravaged into a “hive of corpses”, and the Mathosian Emperor Caer Mathos has been painted as the target of a ritual that could finally conjure Regulos himself into Telara. Even the malicious Alsbeth plays a role in this treachery:
Behind every one of their sins is Alsbeth the Discordant, greatest servant of the Destroyer since King Aedraxis fell. If she is not stopped, she may even find a way to return Aedraxis to his disloyal kingdom. For what power has Regulos if not unlimited access to the wicked dead?
Today, Trion Worlds has detailed Rift’s Endless Court in a stunning and foreboding lore update. Guardians and Defiants alike must stand firm in the face of masochistic evil if the Telara is to survive the massive nihilistic army of Regulos. The story is far from over, so check back for further lore entry coverage here at MMOCrunch!
Here is another vivid excerpt from Trion’s lore department:
Initiates of the Endless Court must allow the cult to capture their dearest companion. During the rite of initiation, necromantic artifacts corrupt the supplicant’s soul and open their heart to oblivion by closing it everything else. As the ritual approaches climax, the initiate renounces their love for the victim and finally murders the poor soul on an altar to Regulos. Only when love and hope and joy bleed out on the black stone is the Devourer convinced the initiate is fool enough to stuff the whole world down a dragon’s gaping gullet, and jump in after.
