Chapter IV – Lands of Despair

Chapter IV – Lands of Despair 24 February 2011



In early April, Chapter IV – Lands of Despair will be unveiled as Closed Beta!, telling the story of a mighty, yet mysterious demon who is throwing the world of Taborea into turmoil. As part of his devious plan he has released a horrifying contagion across the land, turning the inhabitants of entire villages into soulless zombies. Even Annelia, daughter of Lord Grafu, has joined his ranks as a young apprentice and has been consumed by the darkness inside her.

You must answer the call for help and start a dangerous journey through uncharted territory, encountering new and ferocious creatures on their quest to lift the shadow of darkness from this dark and afflicted land. The new maximum possible level you can achieve will be raised to 70.

Your first steps in this intrigue-wrought empire will bring you to the ‘Land of Malevolence’, which is intended for adventurers at level 62 or higher.

The Land of Malevolence can be reached by way of a path from the Limo Desert, standing in stark contrast to the desert region with its contaminated forests and poisonous rivers. The first of the new instances is tucked away in one of the many castles that dot the horizon. Alongside the countless hidden nooks and crannies, the mountains also hide the first of the new instances: Lord Grafu’s Castle.

8 March 2010 Take a glimpse into the Lands of Despair first hand before the actual start of the Closed Beta of the upcoming Chapter IV of Runes of Magic starts.

In about 1 month heroes from Taborea will be chosen or otherwise get the chance to experience the newest adventures in a land of horrifying undead creatures, twisted beings from a crazy circus and a plague that holds a country firmly in its grip.

But who is behind all of this terror? Who brought all this pain and suffering over the good folks of Taborea and turns them into mindless Zombies?
