Night of Murder Event, and patch

The Advisor 14 February 2025 / year 2521 of the Old World

As darkness descends on the Night of Murder, worshippers of death drench the land in blood, each seeking to prove their devotion to the Elven god Khaine. This grim period is eagerly exploited by the forces of Destruction. Assassins slip into cities, while on the battlefield, the lines between Good and Evil blur under a crimson haze of bloodlust. No one is immune to Khaine’s will during this ominous celebration
