Excerpt from a report by the Imperial Scouting Corp, 33 A.R.
... Devouring Plague, led by General Reklar Plaguebearer, has greatly expanded and fortified the plateau upon which the General resides... now heavily fortified with battlements protecting what appeared to be an inner courtyard... Unknown how many guards were present, but it also appears that there are far more than previously encountered... Caution is advised if venturing deep into the deadlands...


Knight of Creation

This adventure school has undergone a sizable overhaul including the replacement of abilities and a change in the school's purpose.  The school is now focused on being a "Tank" that draws the attention of monsters to itself and attempts to hold it, protecting other party members in the process.  It does this through a series of new abilities and summoned items including reactive shield abilities such as Shield Slam and taunts such as Brandish and Battle Shout.  A series of quests are also available from Honored Demonte Seviris in Dalimond.
