Fissure of Oblivion
2. The Fissure of Oblivion instance was added.
Lady Siel created the Fissure of Oblivion to store and protect the memories of the Ancient Archdaeva.
Upon entering the Fissure, Archdaevas become filled with power, and regain full use of their ancient
abilities.
However, within the Fissure there exists a Shadow of Oblivion, created by Siel herself to safeguard the
memories from falling into the hands of the unworthy.
- Enter the Fissure of Oblivion via the Kojol Valley Scout Post (Elyos) or the Nightbloom Forest Scout Post
