Season of Dragons continues as the Cult of the Dragon has amassed an army to lay siege to the city of Neverwinter. Sergeant Knox has sent out a call to all the adventurers of Faerûn to aid in protecting the city from the Cult.

Starting on Thursday September 18, 2014, players can take part in the Siege of Neverwinter event! This new event will introduce a new Siege Battlefield area, two new Heroic Encounters and tons of rewards.

Siege of Neverwinter Start: Thursday September 18, 2014 at 10 AM PDT (Pacific)

Siege of Neverwinter End: Thursday September 25, 2014 at 10 AM PDT (Pacific)

Prior to start of the event, we’ll be hosting a special Siege of Neverwinter Developer Livestream on Wednesday September 17. Cryptic Producer Lindsay Haven will be joining us to discuss the new event and answer some questions from the community. This will be the first time you’ll get to see the event in action so you won’t want to miss out on that. For more information about the Livestream, and all the awesome giveaways, head here.

We’ll have more details on the event next week so be sure to check back with us. For now here’s a sneak peek at the event:

Cult Invasion

The Cult of the Dragon charges against the breach, attempting to prevent the reconstruction of the wall. The players must fight them back before the Cult manages to kill enough workers and destroy enough supply crates to prevent rebuilding.

Counter Attack

The Neverwinter Guard sounds the call for a counter attack, charging the battlefront in an attempt to push back the lines. Players can participate by slaughtering as many attacking cultists as possible before time runs out.

Dragon Attack

A dragon lands in the center of the battle lines, preparing to assault the city. Heroes are needed to take the dragon on and slay it before time runs out.
