Lands of Despair

Sismond’s Diabolical Plan

The Land of Malevolence is teetering on the edge of chaos. The Demon Sismond has contaminated the land, making the inhabitants into zombies which he can use to bolster his undead army. All the while, Dwarves, Rhinos and ruling families are waging war in the Redhill Mountains and Tergothen Bay.

Help bring an end to the suffering.

Multiple Class System

Chapter IV brought a raft of features to Runes of Magic, including the multiple class system.

This includes:

  • Having three classes in one character
  • Two new zones especially for your third class
  • More possibilities for character development

You can find out more about third classes and their teleporting abilities in the Beginner’s Guide under Multiple Class System. There you will also find information on the new zones for the third class.

Two New Zones for Your Third Class

Coast of Opportunity (Levels 1 to 42)

This coastal region is one of the best places to quickly level up your third class. Master innumerable challenges in the seedy ports and long expanses of beaches. Meet other hardy adventurers and try your hand at trading.

Xaviera (Levels 43 to 50)

Your voyage with your third class will lead you to Xaviera. Explore the small settlements throughout the land, face dangerous threats and hear fascinating tales. Speak to Robest and find out how all is not as it seems in this would-be paradise...

 

Five New Zones

Chapter IV saw the introduction of five new zones. You can learn about three of them here. To read about the rest, click on the ‘Features’ tab.

 

Land of Malevolence (from Level 63)

Amidst the dangerous moors and forests dwell the last survivors of Sismond’s plague. Help them defend their settlements against his army which draws ever closer...

 

Redhill Mountains (from Level 66)

Between rolling hills and sprawling forests, Rhinos and Dwarves are waging a bloody battle. Come and marvel at their siege weaponry, the destroyed cities of the Rhinos and the Dwarven empire – just don’t get caught in the fray!

Tergothen Bay (from Level 68)

This coastal area has long attracted heroes of all creeds, but Sismond also has his sights set on it. One of the fortresses in the land, Sardo Castle, has been under his possession since Chapter IV. All is not well in the region’s other castle, either, since its inhabitants are at war with each other and plunderers have caught the whiff of discord and are arriving to take part.

Sardo Castle

Tomb of the Seven Heroes

Open Encounter

Endless Night:

An old cemetery is once again under siege by the undead. Only you can help its inhabitants return to resting in peace. You will encounter wave after wave of zombies, purify contaminated souls and master a range of bizarre tasks...
