Greetings knights!

The cold of winter is descending on Cradle. To keep knights moving during the most extreme cold conditions, Spiral HQ has issued chilling new gear. Blend into any frozen environment with frosty gear and accessories.

While these items look frozen solid on the outside--for camo reasons, and also because it looks formidable--they're mighty toasty on the inside. Think of them as Cradle's most efficient travel coffee mug. Take care with the new permafrost aura as it may leave a puddle in warmer places.

Contents include:
* Permafrost Aura (new)
* Crystalline Defender (new, shield)
* Maskeraith (Freeze) Pod
* Arctic Acolyte Mantle (new)
* Arctic Acolyte Hood (new)
* Arctic Disciple Wings
* Arctic Crown
* Arctic Shackles
* Arctic Pauldrons
* Additional new armors and helms
* New accessories

Glacial 2016 prize boxes are available from now through December 11th, 2016, and details on the box can be found here.

Knights will also notice that our seasonal buddies, the Gobble Snipes, are on their yearly migration to...we're not really sure where. Hmm.



A few of these Gobble Snipes seem to want to stay in a few guild halls. At least, we think that's what it means when they enclose themselves in Gobble Snipe Boxes. Should you wish to host one of these fluffy creatures in your Guild Hall, these boxes can be had through December 1, 2016. Check out the details here!

ALERT KNIGHTS!

We have confirmed that the Apocrean Harvester is causing trouble again. Spiral HQ needs your help! For a detailed brief on Cradle's previous encounters with this nefarious entity, go here.

From now through December 5th, venture onto the Grasping Plateau, free trapped souls, and earn Apocrean Sigil tokens for your bravery. Then, use these tokens at the Obelisk of Creation to craft Obsidian weapons and the Grasping Aura.

Our information is clear, you don't want to get caught out there alone--definitely bring your friends with you on this mission, and try not to lose sight of them!

The Auction House will also be stocking some Apocrean themed guild hall furniture to give your guild hall the sense of dread that's all the rage this season.

Greetings Knights!

A few select knights are brave and crazy enough to drop behind enemy lines. Lieutenant Desna and her elite Recon Rangers are the first line of attack. Dangerous Prize Boxes feature items favored by Desna and the Rangers. Not only is this gear is designed to intimidate, but also do as much damage to the enemy as possible. As requested by Desna, their armor is equipped with razor-sharp spikes and other hazardous features, because “Even a dead Ranger should make their foes bleed.”

Recon Rangers are trained never to give up. Each Ranger is outfitted with a shield known as The Bitter End--the name serves as a reminder to all as to precisely how far a Recon Ranger is willing to go.

Contents include:
* Dangerous Dragon Wings (new)
* The Bitter End
* Anti-Personnel Spikes
* Dangerous themed armor and helms
* Dangerous themed accessories (new)

Dangerous 2016 Prize Boxes are available from now through October 18th, 2016, and details on the box can be found here.
