Ahoy Astral Captains!
 
Today we start a journey into the new content coming soon with the next update Allods Online: Lords of Destiny! Welcome to the first preview of many more previews to come leading up to the exciting update!
 
We would like to first introduce a new Sarnautian race, the Tequanis. It is now time to set sail towards their lands and to discover more about this ancient and mysterious people!
 
Your faction leader will send you there on a secret mission, but beware! Astral demons are always lurking in the darkness, waiting for ships to attack! You will be far away from home in the unknown Astral, but don’t worry, it doesn’t happen so often to leave a demon behind and to find a tropical paradise at the end of a wormhole!
 
Deep in the Astral, a forgotten archipelago awaits to be explored. Its name, Pearl Ring, has been lost for centuries and the way to reach it as just been retrieved. It is part of a bigger allod called Irdrih, which is as wide as Holy Land, Eljune and Coba Plateau put together.
 

Welcome to the Jungle!
 
Disembark your ship and, while you are still trying to put all the pieces together, you will start to explore a tropical jungle with stunning landscapes and many different types of wildlife. Be careful though: not all these cute animals will be friendly, many of them are fierce enemies!
 

 
One of the first inhabitants you will have the chance to meet are the Aviaks. At your arrival in the area, you will discover soon that this tropical paradise is shaken by a war between two different factions of Aviaks. When you find yourself alone, far away from home, one of the first things to do is find some allies: fly on the back of the colorful Squawkers to discover the islands while helping your new Aviaks friends!
 
Discover the amazing flora and fauna of this tropical map, take part in an arcane ritual, and challenge the natural elements to gain the respect of the Wind people!
 

 
The landscape of the Pearl Ring map is stunning. Dive into the clear waters to discover a colorful underwater environment with many mysteries to unravel.
 
Do you remember the days when you had been sent to the Holy Land with an important quest? Here you will find an element to bring back your memories. We’re not only talking about PvP, but about Sites of Power! Honor your faction in this remote corner of the Astral and conquer sites of power to unlock buffs for all the comrades of your faction!
 
Pearl Ring is a round reef that encircles an archipelago of xx small islands with a bigger one at its center. After having explored the smaller islands, it is now the time to venture into the main one.
 

 
If you delve deeper into the secrets of Irdrich and uncover plots of powerful forces, you might be lucky and find a way to the beautiful Tequatl!
 
Tequatl
 
Tekyans are an ancient race, mentioned in the June chronicles that survived the Great Cataclysm and lost for ages when Sarnaut was torn into pieces. But, as Historians always reminds us, sometimes lost things might be recovered!
 

 
Before the Great Cataclysm, the Tequanis, which are furry little creatures and distant relatives of the Gibberlings, used to be a savage people that inhabited the jungle in Irdrich. Due to the remoteness of their land, they had never met other rational beings before.
 
When Irdrich was colonized by the Junes around the 1800 year of the Old Era, those little creatures were impressed by the spells and the abilities of the new comers and soon gained their favors offering them generous gifts. Soon, both races began to live side by side and the colonists turned into patient teachers, trying to pass the Tequani their knowledge and culture. The little creatures lived without concerns and the Junes provided to their needs until the Curse destroyed their civilization and Sarnaut was shattered into pieces.
 
Before meeting their fate, the Junes made sure their furry friends survived, but the Tequani were left on their own and the world forgot about them until now. The Junes became gods in their minds and the Tequani had to put in practice what they had learned from their protectors and take care of themselves.
 

 
They eventually built their civilization and managed to establish their own traditions and school of magic. Today, the Tequani still live in harmony with nature and build their houses under the trees.
 
Do not be fooled by their fluffy appearance though! Although they are kind-hearted and friendly, some of them might be hostile while they protect their settlement. Keep that in mind while taking the path towards their village!
 
The beauty of their land will leave you speechless and ease your homesickness. Explore their village and talk to them and you’ll discover more abou their culture and their secrets. After the fall of June civilization, new gods has replaced the Ancient protectors. Who are those “Immortals”, as Tequanis call them, and what is hidden in their beautiful Crystal Palace?
 

 
The more you will discover about this stunning land, the closer you will get to a bitter revelation: how could such beauty and innocence have been spared by destruction? Maybe there is another side of Irdrich to discover, more to see, but it is not time to unveil it yet…

Long before the destruction of Sarnaut, new nations emerged after the fall of the Junes civilization. They weren’t united, although they called themselves Aro, or “humans”. Because of their bloody disputes over the dominions, they were losing their best warriors and brought misery upon their peers. This was put to an end when a greater danger loomed over their territory: the Orcs. The human tribes couldn’t resist their invasion on their own, and after countless villages burned to the grounds, only one solution was possible to ensure their survival: the unity of the tribes. The army of Aro over-powered the Orcs into a glorious battle and kick them back into wilderness!
 
This wasn’t the only victory though, as their union led to something more meaningful: a friendship which led to the strongest nation of Sarnaut, the Kanians!
 
We are celebrating this special day, a day that reminds you of the greatest victory of your nation! Everyone rejoice for the Unity Day from Monday, January 28th until Wednesday, February, 6th!
 

If you are a Kanian and proud of it, meet the members of the Holidays committee to get the best accessories for this celebration!

When battle calls, you often see them rush to the enemy and deliver deadly blows until their target is down. In town, their level of intimidation lives on in the form of dashing auras that provoke onlookers. These soldiers of war are always at the front line, they never hide, and they never stop fighting until they fall in battle. They belong to a specific class that always volunteer for war in the name of their motherland, and make their enemies wish they weren’t fighting against them. They can be giants, they can be tiny, but there is no mistaking they are lethal.
 
From Thursday, January 17th until Sunday, January 27th, take part in the Warriors’ Celebrations: the Swordring!
 

 
From Friday, Warriors from the Gibberling, Kanian, Xadaganian and Orc nations will be able to discover the festivities of their proud class! These Warriors have always been at the front line in wars, and never turn down an opportunity to engage in tough training to stay on top of their art! Although laziness and weakness is an enemy of these soldiers, there is one day allowed to them in which they can shout, drink, and laugh with their peers! There may be some fighting as well; you are a Warrior after all!
 
During the Swordring celebrations, Warriors will be able to exchange their precious special holiday coins for amazing rewards:
 

Ceremonial Warrior’s Helmet: Warriors need to keep their heads protected! Can be sold or traded to other players.
 

Ceremonial Warrior’s Armor: Its impressive appearance inspires respect! Can be sold or traded to other players.
 

Rapid Growth Potion: Do you envy the powerful and musculature? A mouthful of this potion and you are as big as a troll! Can be sold or traded to other players.
 

Who’s tiny now!
If you aren’t a Warrior yourself, don’t look at your comrades with envy as the special items sold by the vendors of the Holiday Committee can be exchanged between characters or sold at the Auction House!
 
This means that you also can dress up as a Warrior to celebrate their holiday!

Thank you so much as you’ve been waiting patiently for an update regarding the Winter event that was put on hold due to lag issues caused by the event. As an updated version of the Winter event without any technical issues could not be applied to our servers, we still would like a way for the community to benefit from this high-spirited and spectacular event. The event introduces lots of cool (no pun intended) items to glamorize your characters with wintry goodness and we want to continue the spirit of gift giving even though the holidays are behind us.
 
We are happy to announce that players who logged on since November 1st will receive 1 letter sent to the most active character on their account. This letter will include:
 

50 Large Holiday Gifts and a bonus Eye of Frost trinket!
 
Please know the Eye of Frost is bound since it’s a bonus item although the main prizes (Holiday Gifts) will not be bound so open them, sell them, or mail them to your heart’s content! Even though the Large Holiday Gifts are not bound, the items inside the gift will be bound so make sure you open the Large Holiday Gifts on a character that you would want the items on. Also make sure you check all characters on your account (including other server and incarnations) in case you do not see the letter in your character’s mailbox.
 
Once again, you will receive the winter prizes if:
-You logged in since November 1st
-Your character is at least level 15
*One gift per account
 
We hope these gifts bring some post-holiday cheer to your ingame celebrations. Have fun chilling out!
 

Greetings! The new year is approaching fast. Do you know what else is approaching fast? 90,000 Likes on Facebook!

We have seen a variety of video streams from Beau with Massively which have covered many exciting features of Allods Online ranging from Goblinball, Astral, and Summerhold. Last night Beau joined Astral Scholar Citizenkane and Ascendancy guild as they plundered deep into one of the Dead City wings.
 
This was a special livestream as Beau got first-hand experience of what it’s like as an endgame player in the fiercest dungeon of Allods!
 
You can check out the stream here in case you missed it earlier.
