Island of Dawn
Island of Dawn
Continent Southern Arun

Island of Dawn is an island between the continents of Southern Arun and Shara. It was the starting zone for newly created characters but it was destroyed and transformed into a zone for characters level 65 in February 2016 upgrade.

Starting from patch 114 released to global servers in February 2022, a restored version of the map called Island of Glowing Dawn was added back into the game and was accessible by talking to a Baraka NPC in North Dock of the destroyed island. However, it was still filled with tough endgame BAMs and was a no-fly zone.

Lore[]

Only a short time ago, the Island of Dawn rose from the sea between the continents of Arun and Shara, throwing everything we know about the world into chaos. A scientific expedition left almost immediately from Velika to investigate the event and the mysterious new land itself.

There were mysteries enough to keep this team of scientists busy for years. How could a brand-new island be home to ancient ruins and relics? Why was it populated by wildlife, nature spirits, and demons?

Before they could do more than begin to ask questions, most members of the First Expedition perished in a massed demon attack, while the expedition leader, Elleon, went missing and was presumed dead.

Current lore of Island of Dawn is how members of certain Alliance blew up the World Tree on the island while trying to gain access to its sap. Since then Island has been ashy and gloomy. Giant monsters suddenly appeared and took over parts of the Island.

The restored version called Island of Glowing Dawn did not seem to have any lore to explain it, but it's implied to be the result of clean-up efforts on the island through subjugating the dangerous giant monsters; given the repeatable hunting quests available in both versions of the island. Strangely, several Karaschas can be seen near the Mysterious Ruins like ordinary BAMs in the Island of Glowing Dawn.
