    '''Episode 21: Age of Heroes''' takes players on an unprecedented journey through time to the founding era of Rune-Midgarts. When a dimensional rift opens at Scale Island, Nyar reveals the opportunity to travel to the past and alter the moment Lasgand first gained his power. This epic episode features seven noble family reputation systems, time travel mechanics, and culminates in the Final Battle instance.


    '''Episode 21: Age of Heroes''' is the culminating chapter of the current storyline, taking players back in time to the era before Rune-Midgard's establishment. Working with Mage Nilem, you'll investigate dimensional rift symptoms on a remote island in Eisgarn and confront the '''Yormungandr sect''' in an epic conclusion.
    == Overview ==


    == Overview ==
    Following the defeat of Bagot in Episode 20, an unusual mana wavelength is detected emanating from '''Scale Island'''. The investigation team, including Nyar, discovers a dimensional rift that connects to the distant past—specifically, to the time when Lasgand first inherited his power during the founding of Rune-Midgarts.


    Episode 21 represents the climax of the dimensional storyline that has been building since Episode 17. Players travel to the past with '''Mage Nilem''' to investigate the origins of the dimensional disturbances and face the ancient '''Yormungandr''' cult in their prime.
    Nyar reveals this could be an opportunity to permanently stop Lasgand by altering history itself. Players travel through the rift to an era when the '''Jormungandr Cult''' threatens the emerging kingdoms, and seven noble families lead the resistance: '''Gaebolg''', '''Nerius''', '''Heine''', '''Lugenburg''', '''Walter''', '''Wigner''', and '''Richard'''.


    The story takes place during a pivotal era in Midgard's history, before the founding of the Rune-Midgarts Kingdom, offering glimpses into the ancient world and the true nature of the serpent god's followers.
    Posing as volunteers from the future, players must navigate the complex politics of the past, earn the trust of the noble families, and ultimately confront the source of Lasgand's immortality.

    Episode 21: Age of Heroes takes players on an unprecedented journey through time to the founding era of Rune-Midgarts. When a dimensional rift opens at Scale Island, Nyar reveals the opportunity to travel to the past and alter the moment Lasgand first gained his power. This epic episode features seven noble family reputation systems, time travel mechanics, and culminates in the Final Battle instance.

    Overview

    Following the defeat of Bagot in Episode 20, an unusual mana wavelength is detected emanating from Scale Island. The investigation team, including Nyar, discovers a dimensional rift that connects to the distant past—specifically, to the time when Lasgand first inherited his power during the founding of Rune-Midgarts.

    Nyar reveals this could be an opportunity to permanently stop Lasgand by altering history itself. Players travel through the rift to an era when the Jormungandr Cult threatens the emerging kingdoms, and seven noble families lead the resistance: Gaebolg, Nerius, Heine, Lugenburg, Walter, Wigner, and Richard.

    Posing as volunteers from the future, players must navigate the complex politics of the past, earn the trust of the noble families, and ultimately confront the source of Lasgand's immortality.
