Year after year, the Cult of the Dragon has rallied around the Neverwinter to lay siege to the bustling city of craftsmen and merchants. They’re now at it again to the detriment of the city’s inhabitants as the annual Siege of Neverwinter event officially begins.

Players are once again called to defend the so-called Jewel of the North and save it from utter destruction. During the event, players will be able to help the city’s defenders through various activities such as rebuilding barricades, defeating roving warbands, launching counter attacks, destroying the Cult’s catapults, and battling dragons.

For their trouble, players will have the chance to earn various event-exclusive rewards, including dye packs and companions, as well as the Siegebreaker Griffon and the Siegebreaker’s Charger mounts. You can check out the full event details on the Neverwinter official site.

Meanwhile, Arc Games has started beta testing a new and sleeker-looking ARC launcher which features improved navigation and easier access to game-related information. You can catch a preview of the new launcher here.
