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.[1]

In response to the invasion, Army Recruiters 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 banners dropped by the invading Tumeroks.[1]

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.[1]

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.[1]

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
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.
