Springtime is here again, and with the warmth and renewed bloom of the landscape an ancient menace returns!
The deceptively cuddly Harbinger of Spring has found its way onto Ellan Vannin. The Kings of the Realms have placed a bounty on this beast for any who wish to drive the menace out of their lands and to collect the coveted Gem of the Harbinger!
Additionally, we have the following changes to the Ghost Keep event to announce and of course, some RvR bonuses for you!
The Rites of Spring event and these bonuses will continue through Monday, May 1st.

Ghost Keep Event Changes
- When a realm completes the initial Ancient NPCs' quests by reaching the threshold first, the Ghost Keep Lord will now immediately spawn and offer the Grave Honor quest.
- The Ghost Keep Summoner will no longer spawn and there will no longer be a Summoning phase after the initial quests are completed.
- The Wraith and Reaper quest givers will also immediately spawn after the Ancient NPCs' quest threshold is reached.
- The threshold for completing the Ancient NPCs' quests in each realm has been tripled.
- These changes should streamline the event and help encourage active participation at each stage!
