## Overview

During an era known as the Golden Age, the First Warden, Lord Ramiel, protected Wyverndale against all manner of evil. Only the bravest and the most valiant joined his legion to become fellow defenders of peace and prosperity. But to join Ramiel’s side, warriors had to prove their worth to the First Warden – in a trial of blood and fire.

### Wyverndale

Dominion variant on a non-Dominion map! Fight on the sacred grounds of the Cathedral, where the archetecture reflects Lord Ramiel's influence, together with Wyverns flying about. While there are two side points as is normal for a Dominion variant, you will fight against Lord Ramiel himself within the cathedral in place of minions.

**Wyverndale** is a unique gamemode that places a Dominion-like gamemode on a non-Dominion map: Cathedral. As mentioned above, there will be two side points as per normal that allow you to secure Hard Points to place the enemy into Breaking and win. However, there are some slight differences from the gamemode:

* Instead of combing through waves of minions, players will come face-to-face with Lord Ramiel who will wait within the holy walls of the cathedral. Lord Ramiel functionally acts as the "midlane" for the gamemode. Every point of damage dealt to Lord Ramiel rewards you with Renown, while killing him will grant 200 Hard Points to the team that killed Ramiel and 250 Renown to the assailant.
* While Side Points operate much the same when it comes to capture speed (starting at 5.5 seconds with only one player, becoming faster to capture with more allies on the point), Side Points will grant four times as much points when Boosted in contrast to the usual double points along with being worth 350 Soft Points. On top of this, holding at least one Side Point will offer a defensive bonus to either team, granting a 40% damage reduction buff against both Ramiel's attacks and the Wyvern flames.
* There will be additional boosts available for the taking:
	+ Shield Boosts are located within the Cathedral, on the second floor balconies. Shield Boosts granting 100 health shields.
	+ Attack Boosts are located near each of the Side Point. Attack Boosts grant a 50% damage buff.
* Renown Tiers are different due to how many points the team can receive. As a result, each tier is gained every 200 Renown, with Tier 4 Feats being attained at 800 Renown. The following are other means of gaining Renown aside from those mentioned above:
	+ Assists, including those performed on Lord Ramiel, grant 25 Renown.
	+ Capturing a Side Point grants 25 Renown.
	+ Killing Heroes start at a base of 50 Renown, while each streak grants an additional 5 Renown. Killstreak bonuses do not start getting added until the third killstreak.
	+ Executions do not grant Renown.

Due to how many points can be received throughout the gamemode, the amount of points needed to place the enemy team into breaking has been increased to 3000 instead of only 1000.

### Lord Ramiel

> *"The First Warden, Lord Ramiel was a pious made who sacrificed his humanity for the peace and protection of his people."*
>
>

Lord Ramiel poses as a lvl 3 bot AI Warden, with attacks that are both Unblockable and have Super Armor. He will deal ~66% extra damage, although holding a Side Point will cause his attacks to deal normal damage (same damage profile as a Warden).

When either team enters Breaking, Lord Ramiel will stop standing in the Midlane, instead roaming around to kill players and recapture Zones. Due to being a neutral entity, when Lord Ramiel stands on a Zone, he is able to make it neutral. Unlike normal players, he causes Zones to become neutral instantly. If either team exits Breaking, Lord Ramiel will return to the Midlane.
