In the large battles for settlements, it also helps to be able to support other players against the White Mantle and in particular, their champions and legendary heroes. Skirmishes in particular require the Seraph to outlast the White Mantle, so anything you can do to tip the scales in their favour is a good idea. Lake Doric is particularly good for support characters with healing and buffing abilities, since the Seraph forces and their allies are very capable fighters who can do plenty of damage already. You can take part in any battle or skirmish as you see fit. In addition to these large battles over settlements, there are frequent skirmishes all over Lake Doric between smaller groups of White Mantle and Seraph. The White Mantle send a legendary hero to each location as well to inspire their forces. Each of these locations may be under Seraph or Mantle control at any given time, with a counter-attack from the other side never far away. They have their eyes on three locations: Noran’s Homestead, Saidra’s Haven and New Loamhurst. White Mantle of Fort Evennia The White Mantle’s WarĪlthough rebuffed from the city, the White Mantle is keen to seize local settlements from Seraph control. All of these forces have now been deployed in the defence of Krytan lands in Lake Doric.
And in response to the appearance of the Jade Constructs, Queen Jenna has sent her powerful Watchknights, towering fembots memorable for being stolen for Scarlet’s armies in Season 1. In the face of these encroaching enemies, the Seraph have been unexpectedly reinforced by charr from the Black Citadel. While the Mursaat themselves appear to be gone, some of their magic and knowledge remains in the hands of the White Mantle. Since the events in Bloodstone Fen, the White Mantle have also been reinforced with Jade Constructs, powerful servants of the Mantle’s old masters, the Mursaat. Both of these threats have been revealed to be loyal to the White Mantle. With the return of the White Mantle, the Seraph have yet another burden to contend with on top of the usual bandits and centaurs. His forces have deployed new bloodstone-based weaponry and magic. The White Mantle in Lake Doric are loyal to none other than Lord Beetlestone, a long suspected traitor and long time rival to Queen Jenna of Divinity’s Reach. Since then the White Mantle became something of a myth, although there were plenty of signs that they were still around. The White Mantle ruled Kryta until around 250 years ago or so when they were overthrown by a monarchist coup, in favour of Queen Salma. The Seraph’s duty has always been to enforce the law in Kryta and keep the kingdom safe. He was among the heroes who defeated the elder dragon Zhaitan. Their top commander is the famous hero Logan Thackeray, of the dragon-slaying guild Destiny’s Edge. The Seraph are the soldiers of the Krytan capital city Divinity’s Reach. Saidra’s Haven after the water left The Seraph and the White Mantle The loss of water has ruined the fishing and waterborne trading, much to the annoyance of several settlements in the zone – Saidra’s Haven and New Loamhurst – although the disaster may have presented welcome new opportunities for the Lakeside Bazaar. A dam to the north-east of the city has been breached by the White Mantle’s artillery, releasing the waters of Lake Doric into the river flowing out to Janthir Bay.
Queen Jenna’s forces were able to thwart the White Mantle’s incursions into the city itself, which is now protected by a vast magical dome of energy. So it is that from their stronghold of Fort Evennia across the lake, the White Mantle launched an assault on Divinity’s Reach. It has since been wonderfully re-imagined as land contested by the White Mantle and the Seraph of Divinity’s Reach, being as it is bordering the east of that great city. I don’t know if you know, but there was an unreleased version of Lake Doric made many years ago. I’ve previously covered the earlier Season 3 zones, those being Bitterfrost Frontier, Ember Bay and Bloodstone Fen. Now that things have settled down, we can see how Lake Doric has stood the test of time. It’s a good thing this is a late review, given the balance changes to this map over the last few months.
