## Lore

*Main article:* Battle of Ascension Peak

This is Ascension Peak, for it was here that Jenos stepped into the sky and became one with the cosmos. Centuries passed as the faithful searched the stars, whispering that Jenos lived in the night sky. Most thought them mad. Many hopeful pilgrims arrived; lost souls, forever wishing they too could leave their past behind. Until a broken soldier witnessed the impossible. The Ascended returned. Jenos revealed what he had seen among the stars: the countless wonders, the unimaginable power, and a darkness that would one day threaten The Realm.

The Ruby Throne Room was abuzz with the news: Jenos had returned. While her court gossiped, Lian spoke in hushed tones with a hulking figure: Khan, the Primus of House Aico, the General of its armies, and Chief Adviser to the throne. If Jenos could be convinced to join the Magistrate's armies, Lian could end this war; a victory that would give House Aico more power than ever before. The siege moves. Khan rallies his forces to battle, leading House Aico's royal guard to recruit the so-called god. And Khan does not take 'no' for an answer.

## Limited Game Mode

Khan leads the Magistrate's forces into battle on Paladins' newest map: Ascension Peak.

For a limited time, players will be able to join an Onslaught version of Ascension Peak. In this game mode, a team must achieve 400 points to win, or the team with the most points after 10 minutes, wins. These points are earned by eliminating enemy players or by controlling the area in the middle of the map.

This version of Onslaught has special gameplay modifiers:

* **Magistrate vs. Resistance:** Players will be assigned a random character and represent either the Magistrate or Resistance. Your mastery of each Champion will see you through to victory!
* **Evade Artillery Fire:** Magistrate forces have Ascension Peak under constant fire! Dodge the explosives crashing down all around you. Watch out for Fire Bombs!
* **Ascended Abilities:** The ascendance of Jenos has affected the battlefield. All Champions have 50% cooldown reduction -- can you handle your newfound power?
