The Law is clear: Order must be restored, so the world must be erased. No matter the price, no matter who pays. But the Old World Order doesn't understand yet who you really are. Or what you'll do when pushed too far.
This weekend, you're not battling Doom. You're fighting FOR it: thousands of Doom Spirits sleep in the depths of the Starship Carcossa. They're an army ready to rise... if you reach them before the SunSetter and Titan of Light.
The world wasn't ready for them. It wasn't ready for YOU.
But now, anything is possible.
Battle alongside your fellow heroes to reach the Doom Spirits in the Starship Carcossa. Reach them before Astero and the Sunsetter Eos if you want to have any hope of saving your home.
Shadows Rising War / Health Meter
(If you fought through the Sandsea War, the set-up is similar, like how we represented Zhoom's HP with one of the war meters.)
For many of you, this will be the first war you've ever fought in, so we've got a few tips to help guide you through this coming encounter:
You and the rest of the heroes in Lore will all be fighting together to reach a common goal: victory! With every additional hero who battles in the war, you'll reach the 100% mark that much faster... and that means you'll unlock the rewards and final cinematic cutscene sooner, too!

The Shadows Rising Saga began on Friday the 13th in October of 2023, and this weekend's update brings the start of Chapter 3!
In Chapter 1.1: Triad of Doom, Darkness minions are flooding out of the Solar Eclipse portal and attacking Battleon by the order of the Doom Triad.
Battleon needs you... and so does Empress Gravelyn. She is still injured and in extreme danger. Defeat the army of Darkness before her Health Bar reaches zero or there will be irrevocable consequences.
In Chapter 1.2: Champion of Doom, three Doom Spirits that escaped the Portal. The first of the trio, the Metamorphosis Maw, seeks to ascend a new throne... by destroying the High Elves home.
In Chapter 2.1: Sandsea in Darkness, the Doom Triad's focus has turned to a new land, rich in gold and history. Now it is Pharoah Zhoom who needs your help to battle the Condemned Shadows and spreading Chaorruption tainting his beloved Sandsea.
In Chapter 2.2: Shroud of Darkness, your skill in battle is critical to successfully defending the Sandsea against the Doom Triad's dark chaotic forces. If you fail... one of your companions may need to make the ultimate sacrifice.
In Chapter 2.3: Chamber of Darkness, you must venture into the hidden palace beneath the City of Duat. Your allies and the Sandsea need your skill to stay secure... and Zhoom needs you to guard what matters to him most.
Can all these things be connected? Is it just the madness of the era, or your Eternal Dragon of Time powers attracting disaster to you? One thing is for sure: the Doom Triad will not stop until they have dominated our entire world.
Now, the Shadows Rising Saga continues in Chapter 3!
To begin tonight's release, you'll need to be caught up on both the Doom Triad Saga and the Flame of the Beyond Saga.
