[RAID] - A Friendly Reminder
______________________
Valkoth crushes the letter in his clawed fist, puncturing the weak parchment with his talons. “Fools! All of them!” The letter is tossed into the small pit of lava by the old ancient’s paws. It catches immediately, burning to a crisp before anyone could save it. Ahead of Valkoth, a small blue dragon stood, shifting on her feet. “Sir… the Helians aren’t wrong this time,” she pipes up, voice shaking with nerves as the large dragon turns his head back towards her.
“No, they are. There’s no way; Dralk is too far inland and too far from any Blight. Unless General Reklar himself marches up to our gates, there is no way,” Valkoth retorts, his fangs mere centimeters from the courier’s snout. She takes a few steps away, cautiously. “Sir…”
“I said no!” He roars, sending the courier scrambling backwards.
“Last time we denied a warning like this, it ended up with our brethren being raised from the dead! The last time we thought we were safe, Draak was taken! Sir, please, listen to reason!” She cries, eyes moving between the opposing faction's leader and the pool of lava where her letter was cast.
Valkoth simply stares at her with small slitted eyes. Was he…?
A few minutes pass. "Tell Semeneth I appreciate the thought,” he finally says, voice cold. “Send word to the Gifted; prepare to hold the southern volcanic border.”
~~~
Far away, deep within the Blighted Eastern Continent, the blight dragoness waits, licking her wounds and regaining strength. The emotionless silver eyes stare at the horizon to the west, the huge barrier wall blocking her line of sight from her target.
“Soon, Gifted… soon….”
~~~
The aforementioned blue courier drops into Dralk’s center, calling all from far and wide to gather. “Gifted!” She roars, lifting her wings for attention. “The Blight gathers for an attack! We must prepare! Ready your weapons, ready your claws! Sharpen your swords and sharpen your minds! Tomorrow we fight to protect our homeland!”

Where?
In-game global messages will give clues to the location of the starting point of the raid. From there on, it’s gathering your friends and pushing back the assault.
Come prepared. Relenting in defense will result in further push of the Blight towards Dralk. Your goal is to protect the Dragon homeland city.
(Disclaimer: As this raid is specific to the Order server and due to current limitations, there will be no possibility of a true take-over of Dralk with shut-down portals and blighted grounds. Arrival of the Blight in Dralk will, instead, render the city unusable until it is cleansed due to mob count and strength.)
