Demongate/Past Events

Run Time: August 20 - October 4, 2021

This event was previously set between Lost Sands and Blood Moon

> **Beware the Demongate**
>
>
> Greetings, brave Knights!
>
>
> The Portal Master reports that the Sacred Portal is awakening once more, opening up new lands... and new threats. Scouts report that the Yokai of the Lost World have turned their envious eyes to our world.
>
>
>
> Hailing from a once prosperous world ravaged by the Dark Ones, the Yokai of the Lost World have been twisted into vengeful Demons that believe that all those who are free of the Dark Ones must be allied with their former tormentors. All Knights must rise to the challenge to see off this threat in the upcoming Demongate event! Fabulous rewards await those brave enough to heed the call.

**THE YOKAI OF THE LOST WORLD**

> **Demongate Enemies**
>
>
> Although the lands of the Lost World eventually recovered from the Dark Ones' influence, its people were broken. Twisted by the Dark Ones' experiments, they lash out in the desire for vengeance.
>
>
> Aobozu was once a kindly priest, leading his people in peaceful worship. Now he is a twisted Demon, leading his people in attacking any who are not their own. His insanity causes him to be reckless in his attacks, such as his Blazing Bolt.
>
>
> Otakemaru is a huge Demonic warrior. His corruption has made him even more formidable as he leads his people across the Portal into our lands. As with his ally Aobozu, his powers call on blood magic - his Blazing Fist damages himself as much as his enemies.
>
>
> Oni make up the bulk of the Yokai forces. Skilled swordsmen, they follow their leaders' teaching and seek to cause as much damage as possible, no matter the cost.
>
>
> Tengu can often be found in the back row, attacking from a distance.
>
>
>
> The Yokai of the Lost World are joined by one of their most terrifying and tragic members, the Rokurokubi. Once three sisters who attempted to escape the Dark Ones, the Rokurokubi is now a manifestation of pain and anger that only a Guild of brave Knights can face. If your Guild is high level and up to the challenge, you could even summon them in Expert mode...

**LOST SPIRITS FOUND**

> **Demongate Heroes**
>
>
> The Lost World was home to protective spirits who evaded the influence of the Dark Ones. Saddened by their failure to prevent the Dark Ones' atrocities, they now seek to join any who would oppose them.
>
>
> Ayako belongs to a race of diminutive forest spirits. To evade the Dark Ones' attention, she disguised herself as one of their corrupted Yokai.
>
>
> Mikazuki belonged to an ancient race that was traditionally shunned and distrusted by humanity. Despite the humans antipathy to her kind, she always sought to protect her world and the people in it.
>
>
>
> Ayako will be available on the Event Reward Track, and Mikazuki can be found in the Demongate Event Chest.

**LOST WORLD LOOKS**

> **Demongate Rewards**
>
>
> The Demongate brings with it great risks, but also great rewards. The Armor of the Lost World Skin allows you to look like one of the Lost World's warriors... before they all went a bit red and mad, that is.
>
>
> The Blessed Naginata and the Infernal Daito Weapon Skins allow you to wield weapons in the style of those once carried in the Lost World. Hopefully, they'll bring you more luck than their original owners.
>
>
>
> As usual, there's also a great range of event-exclusive Customizations. Which rewards will you be looking forward to?
>
