A dense fog descended upon Praia a few months ago, and surprises continue to emerge from the mist. Recently a group of hunters, stalking the shadows of Idmar's Forest, came upon a mysterious cave hidden in a dense thicket. And there begins the tale.

... An icy blast and howling wind met the hunters as they explored the menacing vaults of the mysterious cave. Silver and blue veins wove fascinating patterns across the walls. The brave hunters descended, to scout the depths and discover the cause of the incredible play of light and shadow. But before they went ten steps, their beards were covered with frost, their hands began to stiffen, as they choked on the freezing air. They could push no further, and turned away from the icy depths. But as the hunters emerged from cave, they saw they were no longer alone. A dense ring of ominous strangers surrounded the cave, staring at the hunters, trembling and dressed very strangely for the time of year. But seeing that their guests were not a threat, the brave soldiers sheathed their blades.

Later, sitting around the fire and sipping hot tea, the hunters spoke with the commander of the detachment. He was a hard man, but a fair one. He relayed the story of the strange place, and told them what was hidden in the dark depths of the cave.

Legend has it that once upon a time long past, the young son of a Lord was imprisoned. All witnesses to these events have long been buried. All that history remembers is that the boy was sentenced to death, and not even his father could save him. But the faithful squire of the young Lord helped him escape, before he was cut down as he delayed his young master’s pursuers. Betrayal and the death of his close friend hardened the heart of the young man. He turned away from his past, and retreated into the depths of Landay's Mountains, where he trained his body and practiced magic forbidden by the superstitions of his people. The fugitive scrounged a meager survival, gratefully receiving food and other necessities from the local residents, and in return he defended the local settlements from robbers and Chud. The mountain people learned to respect the hermit and came to think of him as their patron, despite his cold and arrogant attitude.

One day, after the Mist appeared, an unidentified clan of armed men appeared in the settlement. The former Lord hurried to intervene, but he was too late. Not a single soul remained in the settlement; none survived that terrible day. Once again, he had been unable to protect his loved ones. As he looked upon the bodies of the dead, the tears froze in his eyes and his heart grew still. His body stood frozen, and no feeling or emotion clouded his mind. Only one though remained: he would avenge the deaths of his people. The hermit passed into the fog, but lost track of the killers. His thirst for revenge overwhelmed him, and he was thrown into an underground grotto filled with Prime. With icy calm he absorbed this Prime and underwent a great transformation. When he returned to his cave, he created a tomb of ice for his dead people. Prime coursed through the ground among the stalagmites, and its light fell upon the fallen. Their mystic reflections decorated the walls of the cave with those strange patterns that attracted the attention of the hunters.

To fulfill his duty to the people of Landay’s Mountains, he returned himself to the mist, Prime raging through his veins. Now he thirsts only for battle. Now a new hero serves the Lords of Praia. And his name is Freeze.

Lords and Ladies!

So many heroes are hired by the Lords of Praia, offering similar talents and wearing similar clothes. Now it will become easier to stand out! Is it the anomalous weather that Praia’s denizens see from the Iron Sea to the Dawn Mountains? Or is it another gift of the Olden Gods, whose presence is sensed ever stronger with each passing day? Who knows!

Whatever the cause, Praia’s Heroes are grasped by a strange sensation on the brink of the new year — as if a new strength fills them! It seems Praia is changing — and her heroes change together with her.

From December 10, we permanently reduce the price of all hero skins by up to 70%! Starting today, any skin will fall into one of three price categories: 99 / 69 / 29 gold!

Note: The game needs to be restarted for the changes to take effect.

To glorious battles!

Next week we plan to roll out Patch 10.0.3. This release will see the long-awaited change in the jungle mechanics, addressing the issue of there being only one viable strategy in higher ratings (so-called “laners co-jungling”). Today we want to tell you about some of the key points in the new patch.

One of the most important changes in this patch is the change in how prime is awarded for killing monsters and soldiers. Prime for killing monsters will be divided into two parts, same as the Prime for killing soldiers on the lane: prime for killing and additionally prime for monster/soldier death. This additional prime for monster/soldier death will be equally distributed between all team members. The amount of this additional prime is adjusted in such a way that the strategy “three laners, jungler and Zuma” should see virtually no difference in Prime income for each hero.

New rules on awarding prime also concern the mini game — scroll creation no longer generates prime, and the mini game levels can only be completed consecutively. Only the highest level (now level 12) can be repeated.

Apart from the changes in how prime is awarded, the monsters themselves will also see some changes. Jungle camps will appear later, monster stats will change, and some camps will respawn sooner.

That’s not all the changes that await you in the next patch. For example, we’ll change the Portal and the Teleport Scroll, and make the soldiers that appear after enemy arsenal destruction stronger. We’ll also lower the sight radius of raised flags.

The details on all the changes in patch 10.0.3 will follow in the patch description, to come — as we mentioned — very soon!

Stay tuned for many more surprises!

Sincerely, Prime World team.
