== Timeline ==
;26 March 2013

The [[Molten Alliance]] continues to ravage norn and charr homesteads. [[Rytlock Brimstone]] is planning to mount a counteroffensive and is looking for heroes to assist. Two new characters come to the front of the story, the norn [[Braham]] and charr [[Rox]]. Braham seeks help from the Black Citadel to save his home of [[Cragstead]] from the invaders. He soon finds however that both the Black Citadel and Hoelbrak are occupied with handling the massive flow of refugees and are too busy to assist. Word is that he would appreciate assistance from any heroes willing to lend a hand. Rox is planning a critical mission to rescue an important devourer hatchery from the Molten Alliance in hopes of building a force that can withstand their vicious attacks. The [[Order of Whispers]] has implanted an [[Secret Contact|undercover agent]] into the Molten Alliance forces, and [[Agent Brandubh]] needs the assistance of heros to locate and translate the dead drops left by this agent. [[Sonic Periscope]]s have begun appearing in [[Wayfarer Foothills]], [[Snowden Drifts]], [[Diessa Plateau]], the [[Plains of Ashford]], and [[Iron Marches]]. [[Sonic Periscope Audio Log|Audio Logs]] from these can be returned to nearby collectors for karma rewards.

;1 April 2013
[[Moto]] and his [[Super Adventure Box]] begin entertaining the children of refugees. Perhaps players with [[Continue Coin]]s can participate in the fun.

=== Rox ===
Rox's story follows two missions: [[Rox: Critical Mission]] and [[Rox - The Hatchery]]. [[Rytlock Brimstone]] tasks [[Rox]] with a critical mission that may turn the tides of the battle by rescuing a devourer hatchery. She will need support if her mission is to be a success.
