Update - July 25, 2017[edit]

Living World Season Finale- "One Path Ends"[edit]

Balthazar has disappeared again, and it's top priority to find him - especially if what he's planning could bring disaster to Tyria. And if one thing's for sure, it's that he's gearing up for something big. He's already managed to collect magical power from a bloodstone, and now he's set his sights on an Elder Dragon. With Taimi's device broken, you're on your own - for now.
