News #3

> "'**TROLL HUNTER EXTRAORDINAIRE**
>
>
> Come on, Eileen!
>
>
> Many centuries ago, the humans of the Arkan Mountains and Mirefen were driven from their homes by the Mosshide Trolls. The Mosshide would devastate communities, destroying entire towns and villages and spoiling the water supply.
>
>
> The humans spent years fleeing until Eileen took up her ancestor's hammer and led her people in rebellion against the Mosshide menance. Impressing the traditionally distrustful Derkar with both her passion and battle skills, she convinced them to join her battle against the trolls. Together, they forced the Mosshide through the portal.
>
>
> Eileen's Rage Power, Drill Bit, damages all enemies and has a chance to inflict Expose for 3 turns. This complements her Base Power, Sledgehammer, which deals extra damage to the targeted enemy if they're currently afflicted with Expose.
>
>
> Eileen's spirit is ready to the fight against the Mosshide during the Troll Hunt!"
>
>
>
>

News #4

> "'**THE MOSSHIDE**
>
>
> Know your enemy
>
>
> The Mosshide were a particularly fearsome tribe of Trolls, and unusually intelligent.
>
>
> The muscle of their armies is provided by the Mosshide Warriors. These sword-wielding trolls can self-heal with their Trollblood ability, and can also calcify. Calcify will temporarily turn the troll into stone - although they cannot attack whilst in this form, they're virtually immune to damage from punches and most weapons!
>
>
> The brains are provided by the Mosshide Foragers. These alchemists use combinations of fungi to create terrible weapons, including their Shrink ability. Shrink.. well, let's just say that any unfortunate victim ends up a little shorter than previously, and more vulnerable to damage.
>
>
> Dovregubben is the King of the Mosshide. His powerful attacks are a match for any Knight, with his Squish ability doing huge damage to Knights that have been afflicted with Shrink. He also gets increasingly powerful with each hit he takes, thanks to his Grow ability.
>
>
> Irpa Brunnmiggi is the Queen of the Mosshide, leading scouting parties to new territories that are ripe for domination. She has powerful self-healing and self-buffing powers that make her a formidable foe.
>
>
> And then there is Dunker Mossfist. No-one knows how he grew to such an immense size. Rumor has it that he fell victim to the Forager's experiments, when they were refining the potions that would eventually grant Dovregubben his Grow ability. Dunker's Ah-CHOO! ability is powerful, inflicting Poison on any opponents, but also occasionally inflicting Expose upon himself. If you want to take him on, you'll need the help of your guild!"

News #5

> "'**TROLLHAMMAREN**
>
>
> The Mosshide are formidable foes, but they do have one great weakness, which can be summarized in one word: Hammers.
>
>
> Eileen realized this when she took up her ancestor's Hammer - even if a Mosshide Warrior had turned itself to stone to avoid damage, Hammers would still do the trick. For this reason, Knights taking part in the Troll Hunt will have the opportunity to earn exclusive Hammers.
>
>
> Everyone will have the opportunity to acquire the Arkan Hammer. Like Eileen's Hammer, the Arkan Hammer was a gift from the Dwarves to the humans of the Arkan Mountains. This Rare weapon has been handed down for generations, and is ideal for taking out marauding Trolls.
>
>
> For those with the Premium Pass, there's also the Derkar Warhammer. Wielded by Derkar Battlemages, the Legendary Derkar Warhammer is a powerful weapon to wield against Trolls, and has the stylish design you'd expect from Dark Elves."

News #6

> "'**THE PORTAL OPENS - Here come the Mosshide!**
>
>
> Greetings, brave Knights!
>
>
> The portal has opened and the Mosshide are here! Battle them for Event Points to win exclusive rewards - Limited Time rewards can only be obtained during the event!
>
>
> We, at Midoki, hope that you have a great time smashing the Mosshide, and remember: if you're struggling with the Librarian's pesky riddles, ask your guild, or take a look on our social channels!"
