Knights,

Our seasonal buddies, the Gobble Snipes, are on their yearly migration to...we're not really sure where. Hmm. A few of these Gobble Snipes seem to want to stay in a few guild halls. At least, we think that's what it means when they enclose themselves in Gobble Snipe Boxes.

Should you wish to host one of these fluffy creatures in your Guild Hall, these boxes can be had through December 1, 2016. Check out the details here!

Greetings knights!

The cold of winter is descending on Cradle. To keep knights moving during the most extreme cold conditions, Spiral HQ has issued chilling new gear. Blend into any frozen environment with frosty gear and accessories.

While these items look frozen solid on the outside--for camo reasons, and also because it looks formidable--they're mighty toasty on the inside. Think of them as Cradle's most efficient travel coffee mug. Take care with the new permafrost aura as it may leave a puddle in warmer places.
