In the Age of Corrosion, the gods fell—their power-infused golden blood surged forth, boiling over to create the Gyldenmist that now ravages the land, a cataclysm known as the Mistfall. The arrival and disappearance of the Gyldenmist are entirely unpredictable; yet once it manifests, it spreads and blankets the earth in the blink of an eye, unleashing immense devastation upon all living things.
Any living soul caught in the mist is overwhelmed by a violent tearing of their spirit, becoming completely "Gyldenized" and twisting into mindless monstrosities. Under the ruinous weight of the Mistfall, entire civilizations have been utterly obliterated, leaving behind nothing but scattered ruins across the world.
Just as the gods prophesied, the soul fragments of the Goddess of Fate scattered across the land, manifesting as Dew, a priestess who walks among mortals. She seeks those who cannot find death in this broken world, guiding them to hunt the Corroded, harvest Gyldenblod, and collect the divine blood spilled throughout the land. Dew prays that by gathering all the spilled divine blood, she can end the Mistfall and allow the world to be reborn.

Events and Gameplay
These entries appear while the event or season they belong to is running.
Soul Harvest (Season 1)
Main article: Soul Harvest
.jpg)
Soul Harvest is a special operation launched by Dew and the Gyldhunters to mend the Web of Fate.
Gyldhunters must thwart the Velgr's attempts to create a False God, defeat the mutated creatures warped by Soul Cocoons, and perform a purification prayer to return their disordered souls to the Web of Fate.
1. While Soul Harvest is active, Gyldhunters have a chance to trigger this gameplay mechanic during matches in Hallowgrove and Brandrgarde. When Soul Harvest triggers, Soul Incubators carrying Soul Cocoons will randomly spawn on the map, along with a Fate Altar for holding the purification prayer.
2. The higher the map's Gyldening Intensity, the greater the chance of triggering Soul Harvest.
See also: Soul Harvest
.jpg)
Led by Archwizard Sáldr, the Velgr have dedicated their entire existence to a singular ultimate goal: the "soul-amalgam."
They refer to the test subjects of their soul experiments as "Soul Incubators," embedding Soul Cocoons within them to prepare for sacrifice to their new god. As their souls are gradually drained away, most of these altered cocoons are manipulated by the Velgr to serve as their mindless combat thralls.
See also: Soul Cocoon, Soul Harvest
.jpg)
1. Any Gyldhunter carrying a Soul Cocoon will resonate with other Soul Cocoons. While resonating, Gyldhunters can perceive the locations of all other Soul Cocoons on the map, but their own location will also be revealed to other Soul Cocoon holders.
2. After a match has been underway for a certain duration, Gyldhunters can head to the Fate Altar and submit 2 Soul Cocoons to activate the altar and begin the Soul Harvest ritual.
Once any Gyldhunter activates the Fate Altar, the resonance between all Soul Cocoons will break, and Gyldhunters will no longer be able to perceive one another's locations.
3. In addition, a Gyldhunter can submit 1 Soul Cocoon to Richie, the in-match merchant, to unlock a special Soul Cocoon reward for their team. Redeemed rewards will be sent directly to Stinger back in Windrest; once the match ends, Gyldhunters can visit Stinger to claim the special Soul Cocoon and spend it.
See also: Soul Cocoons

To support the Gyldhunters' operations, Dew secretly constructed these Fate Altars within Hallowgrove and Brandrgarde.
Fate cannot be changed, and fate cannot be defied. Only by utilizing the Fate Altar to perform a purification prayer can the souls imprisoned within the Soul Cocoons be liberated, shattering the Velgr's twisted will of the "soul-amalgam" and allowing them to return to the Web of Fate along their destined paths.
See also: Fate Altar
1. The Fate Altar will unlock after a match has been underway for a certain duration, allowing Gyldhunters to locate and activate it. Activating the Fate Altar consumes the power within the Soul Cocoons, awakening the connected Soulgnawer.
2. Upon the defeat of the Soulgnawer, the Fate Altar reclaims the devoured souls back into the Soul Cocoons and begins the purification prayer. Through this prayer, the twisted, bound souls will be purified and returned to the Web of Fate.
3. Once the purification prayer begins, the Gyldhunter team that activated the Fate Altar will gain control over it.
While the prayer is underway, rival Gyldhunters can interact with the Fate Altar to contest and seize control of it.
During the prayer, special Soul Incubators will spawn near the altar. Defeating these Soul Incubators will reduce the remaining prayer time, accelerating the process of returning souls to the Web of Fate.
4. Upon completing the prayer, the team currently holding control will receive a special Soul Cocoon reward, which can be spent at Stinger's shop in the Windrest Camp after extraction.
[Special Notes]
Purification prayer rewards will be granted to the Gyldhunter team that holds control when the prayer ends.
Even if members of the team have been eliminated, they will still receive their rewards.

Oath Altars left behind by the Preacher of the Sun's followers are scattered throughout the woods. Approach and interact with them to summon the souls of these followers.

You also stand a chance to obtain a Sacred Branch, which allows you to enter the Wildfire Forbidden Zone early to initiate a Duel of the Sacred Tree.
See also: Oath Altars
Deep within Hallowgrove, the Wildfire Forbidden Zone is temporarily sealed by raging flames. It conceals even richer loot waiting for Gyldhunters to uncover. The entrance will open once the countdown ends, and Gyldhunters can check the remaining time on the map. Consuming a Sacred Branch activates a Warp Rift, allowing you to enter the Wildfire Forbidden Zone early and explore the depths of the flames first.
See also: Wildfire Forbidden Zone
Duel of the Sacred Tree
Main article: Duel of the Sacred Tree
Inside the Wildfire Forbidden Zone, a portal leads to the Duel of the Sacred Tree. The Preacher of the Sun, wandering amidst the flames, quietly awaits your challenge. Consume a Sacred Branch to open the portal and teleport to the duel arena. Once the challenge begins, a protection window will trigger, preventing players outside the area from entering.

The spawned Golden Woodling comes with a highlight outline and audio cue. Track down and defeat the Woodling based on these cues to claim amazing rewards.
