Dragon Bash is a release that was launched on June 2, 2026 and ended on June 23, 2026. It is a holiday event inspired by the historical Dragon Festival, but with a Hoelbrak flair (previously in Lion's Arch), intending to symbolize the resistance to the Elder Dragons.

Knut Whitebear It's time for Dragon Bash! It wouldn't be a proper celebration without your attendance. Join me in Hoelbrak for another moot for the ages! There will be tests of strength, racing, food, song, and most importantly—ale. I'll see you there. Unless, of course, you don't enjoy fun. — Knut "Wrangler of Issormir" Whitebear Invitation to Dragon Bash Hoelbrak has become the social center of the norn race. When the Elder Dragon Jormag drove norn ancestors out of the Far Shiverpeaks, the Spirits of the Wild—Bear, Raven, Wolf, and Snow Leopard—guided them to this area, and now great halls dedicated to those spirits dominate the settlement.  Eastern Watchpost Waypoint —
