This is the storyline event where shield items became available for all paths. Prior to this only Warriors could have a shield. It was apart of the ChiZao Story Arc.
History
06/10/2002)- Nagnag's armory discovered - Several tribes of Nagnang mercenaries have been spotted moving towards Nagnag's palace, and several getting lost along the way. These troops found their way through the dark forest with the use of a compass. Baek from Koguryo was able to create a similar magical compass to aid citizens to get to Nagnag's palace.
Unfortunately citizens were too late, and Nagnag and his new army of mercenaries have already moved on to an unknown location leaving behind a small group of troops to protect the palace. Also left behind were some Nagnang people, who had been forced to create amazing new items for Nagnag and his forces.
In exchange for seeking revenge for them against the person who enslaved them the blacksmiths started assisting the citizens by creating several pieces of armor for each path.
Warriors received upgraded shields, with greater abilities than previous designs. Rogues were able to get bucklers, light shields perfect for them. They were able to benefit from the added protection, without it getting in the way of speedy attacks. The magical users also received new items, with wards for the mages, and intricate charms for the poets.
These new items bring a great new depth to every class, offering them new and interesting items. Now the only question left to answer is where is Nagnag, and what is he up to next?
(06/19/2002)- Royals worried about Nagnag's mercenary army - In a meeting between the royals and other prominent members of the community a royal decree was past that Nagnag must be captured and placed under arrest at the earliest opportunity. With the recent events where Nagnag started the Mythic wars, started stockpiling weapons and armor in his palace, and now hiring a large mercenary army the council agreed that Nagnag now represents a significant threat to the surrounding kingdoms, and the freedom of the citizens.
With the recent assault on Nagnag's palace citizens were too late to capture Nagnag who had already left to an unknown location. A group of fighters were able to uncover some important documents between Nagnag and mercenary tribe leaders from all over the kingdom of Nagnang. Unfortunately they do not speak of his exact plans, only that they will need the entire force to come together shortly.
Nagnag has not replied to any of the invitations to talk, and has now gone on the road. Scouts have been sent out to every corner of the known kingdoms searching for his whereabouts but they have not been able to locate him. If any citizens should run into Nagnag or his men they should report their movements to one of the kingdom armies as soon as possible, and exercise great caution as these troops are well trained, well equipped, and very powerful.
(07/02/2002)- Nagnag's plots - Recent events by Nagnag's mercenaries have been very confusing. Nagnag has sent his troops to attack his former ally the Sonhi people, who we thought would be joining him with his new plans. This move alone has added a great deal of strain to the diplomatic relation with the Sonhi and the three kingdoms.
Still to this day we are not fully aware of Nagnag's plans, and what he is trying to achieve. We know he is not with the forces in the Sonhi camp, and can only assume he is leading a second force of mercenaries to another destination.
Nagnag has shown himself to have little regard for the kingdoms, and his actions have placed us in a bad situation. Currently our best analysis of the current troop movements is that Nagnag is making a move against the kingdoms in a hope to occupy our lands. If he manages to defeat the Sonhi people from his path to the southwest he will have the whole southern front under his control, from which to launch attacks. We know he must be leading at least one more force, and we suspect he is going to try to move around and attack from the North as well, possibly the northeast.
Unfortunately in the past we have had little, if any, success in trying to figure out what his plans have been, or what his goal is. We urge you to keep your eyes open for any mercenaries, and to keep your ears open for any information on what Nagnag is doing.
(08/16/2002)- Nexus houses available! - The blacksmith Nagnag invaded several towns in the lands around Koguryo and Buya in the last weeks. His men rampaged through these towns looting and stealing all they could get their hands on. Once the troops left there was nothing left but empty houses, and scared villagers.
To help with the rebuilding of the towns the villages formed a co-operative of renters, and started renting the houses out to players from all over the land. These houses came in different sizes, small, medium, and large.
Now players have the option of renting their own home, and having full control over the house they own with the ability to change player-to-player battle options, the ability to use magic, and other settings making the Nexus house system truly unique.
Other additions and updates are still planned for the houses, so keep an eye out for these updates to this large addition to Nexus!
