Celebrate Lae's Birthday with Fiendish Gifts

Whether you embrace the Darkness or defy it... Lae, First of the Hollowborn, has something you might be interested in. This weekend, we're celebrating his real-life birthday with a host of feverishly-fiendish gear, fusing the Hollowborn theme with that of Nulgath's Nation!

Friday, June 10 Update

  • Hollowborn x Nation Gear: talk to Lae in Hollowdeep
  • Fiendish Rares: find rare AC variants of the Hollowborn Nation items in the Featured Gear Shop

Weekend Daily Gifts & Boosts

  • Saturday: rare Blood of Zhurong blade/s from the DoomKnight Prince in /victormatsuri
  • Sunday: Seasonal Lava Pits ground + rare Infernal Flame Tail from Kalayo in lavarockbay

Hollowborn x Nation Rewards

The Hollowborn Fortress is not for the faint of heart, or inexperienced heroes. It is where Lae crafts his highest level gear. Before you enter… make sure you're aware of what darkness awaits.

If you wish to know more, meet him in /Hollowdeep. Heroes who are level 65+ can begin the quests to craft his gear. If you are level 85+, you can begin this year's new quests. Complete them to unlock his dark new Nulgath Nation gear.

Hollowborn Legionnaires are a fiendish species, known for being among the deadliest in the Underworld...  so be prepared for many, many battles if you're looking to craft all these dark and deadly rewards.

Have you explored the Hollowborn Faction yet?

A faction of warriors (or creatures?... or both?!) exists among the shadows of that dark realm. Known only as the Hollowborn, they appear to be lead by man named Lae. We do not know much about him... Yet. If you aren't familiar with them, find Kaselbel in the /shadowrealm and complete her quests to earn Hollowborn Rep and to unlock dark rewards in the merge shop. 

  • Hollowborn Thunderlord armor set
  • Hollowborn Vampire armor set
  • and more gear to come in the future

Once you find the enigmatic Lae, if you can convince him to talk, he'll tell you of a deep, dark fortress. Travel there and you'll find a series of quests that only the highest leveled heroes should begin. Complete them to unlock the exclusive Hollowborn Paladin armor set.
