Doomsday Event
The Doomsday Event was the second biggest event to happen on The Mana World Legacy Server, being only smaller than Easter 2010; And also the longest duration event to ever happen on the Legacy server.
Doomsday Event resumed Easter 2010 events, as well as some history disclosed before it in minor events, slowly unveiling the trama behind the fight for the Mana Source.
The Doomsday Event begun in February 2020 and is estimated to go until August 2020.
Easter 2010
Main article: Legacy:Easter 2010
Event Time: April 2010
In Easter 2010, for no known reason, Black Roses started growing on Hurnscald garden. The Old Woman collected them, and felt a bad omen coming from these.
The players were capable of obtaining a black rose by helping the Old Woman in easter egg hunting.
When players died with the Black Rose on them, they were warped to an island outside The Mana World. There they met Legacy:The Doctor, who was investigating a force draining life power from the island.
Later it was found out that Xakabael the Dark was behind this.
After a victory against Xakabael, the same left the island, not being seen again. Once the event ended, Legacy:The Doctor moved on his travels though time-space and dimensions.
Doomsday Act 1: Eternal Seals
Event Time: October 2019
The first act of the Doomsday Event begins overlapping the Halloween event.
During this time, the "Eternal Seals", some sort of seal which kept a powerful begin known as "Tormenta Iilia", was ruptured, allowing them to roam on the world.
Tormenta would (re-)spawn in Legacy:Farmsteads every hour, near a particular mushroom.
Once the Halloween ended, Tormenta's powers were not enough to afford the intense travel to The Mana World. As such, their appearance became much less frequent.
Doomsday Act 2: The Invasion
Event Time: March 2020
The second act of the Doomsday Event, and first official successor of The Mana World's About section.
The Mage Council of Tulimshar has monitored events following the Great Quake and feel that something ominous is spreading throughout The Mana World. Monsters seem to of come out of every shadowy corner and petty dieties has begun to make presence in dark places. The council has made the call and you are just one of the many people that will battle the forces of evil, sending them back to the depths they came from.
Be it warrior, archer or mage, you have answered the call from the leaders of the world to fight back the darkness that spread after the Great Quake. Even so, the monsters strength is overwhelming, and not even Tormenta is staying behind the eternal seals any longer.
Sensing The Mana World denizens weakness, Legacy:Jande, the Great Dragon of Earth and creator of the Legacy:Talpan race, decided to intervene, by sending an army.
The Mana Guardians created six new permanent spawn points until April 11th, the sixteenth birthday of TMW. They would attack anyone who got close to their spawn points.
This arc ended with Jande revealing themselves, and explaining that the purpose of his invasion was to train the denizens of the world to be able to resist the next arc of the event.
Doomsday Act 3: The Great War
Event Time: April 2020 ~ June 2020
This act begun with Zax De'Kagen launching a full assault against Hurnscald.
Zax's army would launch attacks every day, at two different times, and also send minions at a third time to scout the world.
During most of the fights, players were able to repel the invasion with success, and keep the invaders away from towns. However, as the third act neared its end, Zax's army managed to breach Hurnscald and Tulimshar defense, creating a huge chaos which prevents anyone from entering the town for several hours. Those whom tried to adventure themselves inside, met a quick death.
Thanks to the adventurers efforts, however, Jande's army was capable to repel them and free the town.
During this event, the Sage Council was summoned. It was composed by Sagatha, Elanore, Nikolai, Morgan, Valia, Waric, Golbenez and Numa; As well as any adventurer willing to participate.
During this emergency state, the Sage Council passed several decisions and rulings concerning the mana world. The most notable acts which were approved included allowing Jande's army in towns for exchange of their military support; An act which allowed Valia and Golbenez to kidnap the soul of "traitors" during the sieges; And an act which allowed Jande to retrieve every Soul Menhir in the world, except Candor's, to make the most powerful mass-produced armor in TMW history.
Doomsday Act 4: The Great War
Event Time: April 2020 ~ June 2020
This act happened in parallel to Doomsday Act 3.
It was never officially named.
This "act" was made by Zax's golems going to sieges to attempt to take over the towns.
When players defeated the golem, a Wumpus Egg would be dropped.
Jande would buy these eggs shortly after from the adventurers in exchange of a rare.
During the whole act, Jande researched how the adventurers would be able to stop Zax's. He also made important discoveries and shared important secrets, for example:
- The Rewrite system;
- Zax De'Kagen name during the Legacy Era rewrite: Xakabael the Dark;
- Keshlam, a city-estate which was wiped from Legacy Era's history, but kept existing in parallel dimensions.
Doomsday Act 5: The Final Battle
Event Time: June 2020 ~ Present day
Interlude: Part 1
Interlude Time: 12-19 June 2020
The Sage Council reunited in Blue Sage's house, and disclosed having possibly found a way to Keshlam.
Once again using the mechanics from Easter 2010, where players dying with a Black Rose could warp to a place which no longer existed in the history, players assaulted Keshlam's Maze.
Inside the maze, five pillars were found. They contained important clues about Keshlam's History prior being removed from existence.
- The controls panels of the maze were all destroyed;
- Sasquatches are artificial lifeforms created in a far past to protect Keshlam - It is not known if Tengus and Mana Slayers were also from Keshlam past;
- The maze was disconnected from at least three other sections of the complex where Jande lead players into: Laboratory, Archives and Crystal Room;
- The maze had control over four gates, all open. However, the maze itself had no entries nor exits, and the controls were destroyed;
- A so-called "Earth Crystal" was stolen;
- Keshlam Maze's defensive measures were laid in three levels, the two first levels were defeated and the final level did not engage the enemy;
- The pillars said that the world's existence was threatened.
At the time, no one could affirm:
- Who was Keshlam Maze's enemies?
- What was the real purpose of the complex?
- Why did the defensive measures stopped midway?
- What is the Earth Crystal? What are its uses?
- Why Keshlam was forcefully wiped from existence?
- What happened prior to it being wiped from it?
Also, Zax De'Kagen was nowhere to be found.
Interlude: Part 2
Interlude Time: July 2020
During this interlude, Jande and Zax vanished without leaving a trail of their existence behind.
No one knows the reason, nor what happened with both.
Is the world safe? Or is it just the calm which precedes the storm?
...Continues.
