THE MIST KNOWS!

Turbulent waters have surged upon the shores of Elanthia, bringing with them fragments from a faraway place. The seed has been planted. Beware that which you cannot see...

He is coming.

A wicked sentience disturbs the high seas -- an evil lurks in its darkest depths. An ancient terror has been exhumed from its resting place beneath the Abandoned Waters, and has made its way to the shores of Elanthia.

Are you prepared for Ebon Gate?


Schedule

Ebon Gate 2017 opens October 1, 2017, with Caligos Isle as the new Ebon Gate Festival area. GM Haliste is in charge of the event.

The storyline aspect of the grounds, including the move from Feywrot Mire to Caligos Isle, will be covered October 1-6. Once you arrive on Caligos Isle, you will be able to explore at your leisure. Shops will be open for early browsing, but wares will not be on sale until roughly 9pm ET on October 6th when shopping, games, and other activities will open up.

Some live games will have limited capacity; you will need a Service & Raffles pass to enter the live games.
