Every year Orion’s rebirth in Athel Loren marks the start of Spring, and with it the Wild Hunt. Elves ride forth to purge the forest of its enemies as an offering to Kurnous, God of the Hunt. In Ellyrion, vines of the World Root open the way to Hunter’s Vale — sanctuary of the Lord of the Hunt.
Live Event: Wild Hunt
Event Duration
The Wild Hunt runs from May 14th to May 26th. Travel to Ellyrion, find the Vale Vines, and prove whether you are hunter or prey. Some may catch sight of the White Stag along Ulthuan’s southern coast.
Rewards
- Basic: [Stag Skull Trophy]
- Advanced: [Bleeding Hart Charm] (check the armoury for variants)
- Elite: [Blessed Hide of Kurnous], or the Deepwood Cloak

Quests are available from Hethoac Evertrue (Altdorf Market Square) or Karalith Raemari (Inevitable City Apex), with brackets by character level plus a repeatable Hunter’s Vale clear.
