As the survivors of the Celestial War began settling into their newly rebuilt lives, the wily folk that journeyed to the untouched Northern Prairies came back, retreating from the Strange Lands. Upon their return, those that had stayed away from these verdant plains and magical deserts would soon become witness to a constant, new chaos.

As if the time of the season for shorter days and praying for the piercing cold to pass weren’t enough. It would now be an era of no peace, as long-standing treaties crumbled in the coldest winter.

With battles now on the rise, four new dragons, each bearing a different mantle, soared the skies. The untamed wilderness had arrived, and with it, brought war. Everyone will soon see the wonder and awe of the power of these dragons in an time paralyzed by disorder-- the time of Frozen Chaos.

Season Updates

The Frozen Chaos season will follow a similar, but slightly rearranged structure as Strange Lands with a few updates. But please note, there is a slight change to how evolution stones are given out in regards to upcoming tiers. In this season, there will be a claimable node for mythic dragons offering an "Upcoming Evolution Stone" that players will be able to collect.

However, players won't be able to use that stone, as when they get their dragon to level 135, they'll see the message, "You need to breed a legendary dragon from the Upcoming tier before you can level up this dragon." Once the next tier (tier 20) goes live in Feb 2022, all the "Upcoming" text will update with the name of new tier as soon as it is live, and the dragons will be able to be upgraded

Below is the TL;DR so you know what you’re about to get into this season.
