Update Notes 4.1 - August 13th

NEW!

Coils of Ubah Kan

Recent seismic activity in Dragon’s Spine has un-earthed a new cave network leading deep into the mountains. Stygian excavation teams have entered amid rumors of strange architecture and great treasures within the unknown depths; but few have returned and none as they once were. Now Adventurers from across Hyboria hear the call to venture in and perhaps play their part in an ancient prophecy.
The brand new dungeon 'Coils of Ubah Kan' is available in Dragon’s Spine. Gather your friends to take on this brutal six man dungeon, and get your hands on great rewards.
