The Shroud Of Souls Threatens Neverwinter's River District Today On PC
The Cloaked Ascendancy may be out of the way, but, as of today's Neverwinter update Shroud of Souls, a new enemy threatens the River District. The story of this update is as follows.
The events of The Cloaked Ascendancy have unleased something sinister below the River District. A dragonborn necromancer has taken control of an artifact known as the "Shroud of Souls," allowing her to summon an army of wraiths to overwhelm Neverwinter. Sergeant Knox tasks adventurers with halting this menace before the necromancer recruits powerful spirits to lead her ghostly army.
The update also introduces loadouts. Players are now able to create "gear loadouts" that they can quick swap between to fit what they are taking part in. For example, they could create loadouts for "dungeon delving, skirmishes, Strongholds, [and] PvP," and switch between them as needed.
A new Stronghold Siege event called "The Illusionist's Gambit" tasks guilds with defending their Strongholds against "several waves of enemies." Once those waves have been defeated, they can continue to defend against the threat for additional rewards.
Guilds can also gain access to "an all-new social space" through new Customizable Guild Halls. Said guilds can use these Guild Halls to "[showcase] their achievements in Neverwinter."
