For all of the casual brutality of Heckfire’s lands, they pale in comparison to the seas. Most of the ocean life in Heckfire is to some degree or another predatory, from killer seaweed to giant squid to that one particularly aggressive guppy. Even in the warm shallows, vicious beasts seek to make a meal of anything foolish enough to venture into their domain. As one descends, they will find the inhabitants only grow in their primal brutality as the light above becomes a distant memory. It is in these lightless depths that one may find themself within the sunken kingdom of Mermolga herself, where she alone reigns over the forgotten monsters of the depths. Yet even the Sea Queen herself is not without fear. For her most ancient foe stalks the inky deeps, a shadow that cuts through the crushing pressure with ease, a being of pure, primal instinct, silently devouring all that dares cross its path, leaving nothing but a trail of its victims blood in its wake. It eats and eats, and its belly is never full. Always eating. Always hungry. Always. Eating. Always. Hungry. Introducing Riptide! A horror from a bygone age, Riptide has long since lost the ability to think, animated purely by vicious instinct and the endless, unrelenting need to devour. This is likely due, at least in part, to the fact that this Draconic abomination has begun rotting away, with massive unhealed wounds across the length of their body endlessly leaking blood and viscera. No one can truly control such a beast, but you can turn its brutal instinct to your advantage by unleashing Riptide upon his favored prey: Mermolga and her minions. Turn your new Chum loose on those maritime miscreants and start reaping their rewards today with Riptide! Ferocious Mermolga Minion Hunter, Titan Hunter and Boss Hunter - Gain bonus tactics when attacking Mermolga raid targets. Riptide’s voracious appetite is unending, so much so that they will follow their favoured prey up onto land to satisfy it even for a second. Gain a bonus for hunting their most hated (and delicious) foes, Mermolga and her minions. Raid Gatherer - Bonus to gathering speed within all raids Riptide doesn’t really think too much when it comes to biting and chewing, and will attack resources just as voraciously as organic matter. Fortunately, most of it falls out just as quickly due to the gaping wounds in their side for easy retrieval. Hold your nose and gather raid nodes faster (in any raid) with Riptide! Raid Rally Joiner - Increases number of rally joiners within raid rallies While being around Riptide is, quite frankly, a harrowing experience, most soldiers understand one very important thing. The only way to be safe from a creature that blindly eats everything in it’s path is to march directly behind it. Increase the capacity for “Volunteers” for any raid rally involving Riptide. Raid Draconic Determination - Increases dragon experience within raids Terror and general disgust aside, most dragons still understand that they can learn a lot from their elders. And what is more elder than a beast from the ancient past, unleashed into a world it does not understand and doesn’t care to? All dragons in a raid march with Riptide receive a bonus to gained experience.
