| == Virindi and Tumerok Invasion ==
| |
| During the "Crests of a Turbulent Sea" event, the Virindi allied Tumerok clans invaded different parts of Dereth while menacing Virindi controlled towers hovered near the capital towns of Cragstone, Hebian-To and Zaikhal.<ref name=MaggieTowers>Maggie the Jackcat's [http://www.thejackcat.com/AC/Culture/Dereth/Crests5.htm Virindi Towers]</ref>
| |
| | |
| In response to the invasion, [[Army Recruiter]]s appeared in each of the capitals and the barkeeps started selling rumors to entice players to join the resistance. The recruiters offered rewards for any [[Tumerok Banners|banners]] dropped by the invading Tumeroks.<ref name=MaggieTowers>Maggie the Jackcat's [http://www.thejackcat.com/AC/Culture/Dereth/Crests5.htm Virindi Towers]</ref>
| |
| | |
| Camps near the floating towers were later found that were inhabited by uniquely named Tumeroks. Portals were summoned to camp dungeons when these Tumeroks were killed. At the end of the camp dungeon was a portal to the top of the Virindi Tower nearest the camp. Inside the tower was a "controller" such as the Controller Doll found in the Advance towers.<ref name=MaggieTowers>Maggie the Jackcat's [http://www.thejackcat.com/AC/Culture/Dereth/Crests5.htm Virindi Towers]</ref>
| |
| | |
| Once the controller was killed, a server broadcast message was made and the Advance camp disappeared - only to be replaced by another camp near the 2nd tower, the Middle Guard tower, which naturally had harder creatures and a higher level requirement to enter.<ref name=MaggieTowers>Maggie the Jackcat's [http://www.thejackcat.com/AC/Culture/Dereth/Crests5.htm Virindi Towers]</ref>
| |
| | |
| It is unknown what effect killing the final Controller in each of the 3rd and final Reinforcement Towers had during the event.

| '''Tumerok Banners Quest'''<br>
| |
| During the [[A Gathering of Colors]] event, the Tumerok clans moved into training facilities near [[Dryreach]] and now all have the same strength. See the [[Tumerok Banners Quest]] for more details.
