New Areas / Quests – Kingsholm, Solan, Darklight Lasher, November 21, 2010 Area Replacement and Goal – Kingsholm: Kingsholm is an ancient city protected by ancient and powerful magics. Ancient wizards created powerful seals which can be raised when a true champion arises in their time of need. Kingsholm has remained safe and secure for so long that the people have grown weak and lazy. Only their champion knows how to activate the seals now, as even the king has forgotten.
