All the sigils point to the certainty, for those with the skill to see the cold truth – Crucia’s time is nigh!
09.27.18

If you listen at the shutters, closed against the chill, you might overhear the plotters, the supporters of the ice queen. You might even hear that the very leader of the Icewatch, the Scriptkeeper, Chekaroth is working to enable her escape… except that had you overheard this, you’d soon lie cold and lifeless, your body abandoned on the lake. Better you keep your secrets.

All according to plan
Though Crucia lies bound beneath Iron Pine Peak, her icy tomb – cracked with the sundering of the Ward – cannot contain her powers over mind and thought.

She converses with emissaries and ambassadors through the voices of her captors and converts alike. From Watchman to magister to courtesan to king, she reaches into the affairs of the Ascended, using Guardians and Defiant as cogs to hasten her release.

Her machinations are accelerating: First, she unmade the Blood Storm, turning Maelforge against his own just when victory over Telara seemed assured. Next, she inspired the escapes of her trapped brethren so that they might stand – and be slain – in turn. Now, she sets into motion a plan to remake the fabric of the planes and loose her armies on all who oppose her dominion.

The Storm is nigh
Crucia’s minions whisper that time runs as thin as late ice, and that only one path remains. All should embrace her call, and heed her summons to the Gate…

Chekaroth returns to the Chancel of Labors to complete his betrayal of the Ice Watch.
Will you be there to bear witness and challenge the Exodus of the Storm Queen?

Winter arrives September 27…

Summer is almost over but things are really heating up on RIFT Prime!

This week brings new RIFT Prime content for Ascended to enjoy! This week’s game update includes a brand-new Tier 2 raid shard, Tier 2 of Planar Attunement, and a new story quest line! Learn more about each in each of the sections below.

New Raid Shard

Rise of the Phoenix

This level 50 10-man raid takes place in an alternate Telaran timeline. When High Priest Arakhurn opened the Planar Gate in this timeline, instead of opening a portal to the Earth Plane, it accidentally opens into the Plane of Fire. In this raid, Arakhurn’s acolytes absorb the flames and the High Priest himself is turned into a phoenix! To get there, Ascended must have either Omen Sight or Quantum Sight to see the portal in West Stonefield. But be careful, it’s sure to get hot!

Advance to Planar Attunement Tier 2

Planar Attunement is relatively new to RIFT Prime. To learn more about it, check out our Planar Attunement announcement blog from July 11^th. Now, with this week’s game update, worthy Ascended can advance all the way to the second tier and become even more powerful!

New Quest Line: Saga of the Wanton Maw

Originally released with RIFT’s 1.8 patch, the Saga of the Wanton Maw comes to Prime! This cult saga questline is for Prime Ascended who’ve attained level 50. The wicked followers of Maelforge are up to no good and they must be stopped! The story also leads Ascended into the upcoming Infernal Dawn Raid.

For the complete list of updates for this week’s game update, check out the official Prime patch notes here. Then, stay tuned to the RIFT blog for additional updates coming this month!

Alsbeth has been scheming up something wicked. Ascended, you must stop her!

We are excited to introduce a new raid for RIFT Prime players to fight their way through. Introducing River of Souls! This classic, level 50 20-man raid continues the story on Prime and what was hinted at in our Grim Remembrance event.

The Soulstream

When Telarans or Planetouched die, their spirits are whisked away to the Soulstream. This place is a river of intertwining souls that drift along the border of the Plane of Death.

From the edge of the Plane of Death, Alsbeth the Discordant, has control of a device that grants her access to the Soulstream. She is now able to draw forth any soul she likes, returning the poor subject to Telara as a Deathtouched minion of Regulos. If the Endless Court keeps hold of the Soulstream, death will offer no rest to the peoples of Telara, and neither gods nor machines will have souls to draw upon for Ascension.

Besides having to worry about Alsbeth, legions of walking nightmares patrol the perimeter of the Soulstream. They are waiting to descend upon Telara. Alsbeth plucked two powerful souls from this bunch to protect her while she fishes for the most valuable souls in the river. The Ascended will have to fight their way through these undead minions, including foes they’ve faced before, and Regulos’ herald Gaurath.

All of Alsbeth’s schemes and betrayals have led to the River of Souls, and she will fight with every resource available to achieve her horrid goals of damning all of Telara.

Get out there and defeat Alsbeth once and for all! Do not let her corrupt the souls of the dead and bring about the end of Telara. It is time to prepare your friends and enter the River of Souls!
