Duskruin: The Deepest Depths

Hushed whispers about a lost band of temple marauders have been making the rounds in the taverns of Bloodriven, while ominous rumblings have been heard echoing from deep beneath the Arena. Do you dare venture in to discover the source?

Rumor has it that more than treasure was unearthed during the last dig!

HESS additions

Six new add-script-to-existing options, including Dramatic Drapery will be available, as well as new unlimited resistance swapping, additional sides for Morphing Armor, and unlocks for Morphing Shields. And what's this? Exclusive, unlimited enchanting certificates up to 15x?
