A new Guild Season - Avalonian Invasion - has begun in the sandbox MMO Albion Online. Guild seasons are marked by a reset of claimable areas in the free-for-all PvP zones - the Outlands. Guilds will have to organize themselves in order to reclaim territories or capture new territories from competing guilds.
What makes this season especially interesting is the inclusion of a bit of lore. According to Sandbox Interactive, the Avalonians are an "ancient order from Albion's past [that] has returned to reclaim their land, using a mysterious energy drawn from deep in the earth. While their ultimate plan is unknown, it will have world-altering consequences for Albion." Hopefully Sandbox Interactive have some plans to flesh their history out a bit more during the event.
In addition to fighting over territories in the Outlands, players can also collect energy by killing Avalonians. Once the harvested energy is brought back to a major city, it can be used to enhance food, gathering tools, and even create a new mount skin. Currently there are only a few Avalonians roaming the Outlands, but their forces are said to increase over the coming weeks.
World bosses that will be showing up during the event as well. Avalonian Mages are recommended for groups of at least 10 and taking them down will reward players with energy and some guild points, which go towards a guild's overall ranking during the event.
The event begins today and runs until January 20th of next year.
