The dawnbreak slowly lightened the lands of the Caliph, bringing warmth after a cold night in the desert. It seemed to be a day just like any other: people started to run their errands, still geting used to a peaceful life after a long war against the combined forces of the Efreet and the undead armies of Drefia. The war was brutal, but after a decisive battle, the coalition composed of both human and Marid armies had finally emerged victorious, and now the victors could finally enjoy some well deserved peace... or so they thought...

It turns out this was not an ordinary day, as the daylight finally revealed. A scouting party noticed a fallen body, just in the southern outskirts of Darashia, near the Kha’labal passage. They approached him... the man was exhausted, barely conscious but he was still alive! He was brought to the palace with haste and the best healers of the realm were designated to aid in his recovery.

The man recovered his consciousness and was then brought before the Caliph. He claimed to bring dire news from Ankrahmun! The meeting was held with closed doors but when those doors were finally opened, the Caliph rushed to his generals and ordered them to block the southern passage at once. We can only especulate what news were delivered during the meeting, but one thing is clear: the wise Caliph saw truth in that man’s eyes and that truth quickly brought fear to the hearts of the darashian high command.

The darashian occupation forces that were guarding the fallen stronghold of Drefia were now reallocated to secure the southern border and ensure that no one comes in or out through the Kha’labal passage. As the troops mobilize towards south, the concerns were raised among the commoners. Could there be a new war in the horizon?

Very quickly, the word started spreading among the army ranks, and it eventually reached the common folk. Soon enough, the news brought by the mysterious man became known to the public, bringing the people of Darashia to a hard truth: A new threat rose from the south!

Dear players, after many months of hard working, we are happy to announce that our Beta version is finally available!

This small article aims to explain the goals of our Beta test, and the changes made to ensure that no spoilers regarding the official game lore can be found in this Beta.

The Tibia Relic Beta version is primarily a tool to verify the quality of our downgrade and to find potential bugs that might have gone unnoticed by the Devs during our prior testings. Some bugs may be very specific and are more easily found when experiencing the gameplay in a player’s perspective. Also, the Beta will also be a place to test our connection services and improve them as much as we can.

Therefore, we’d like to invite every interested player to join this beta and simply have fun! Explore the map, make hunts, fight other players and test mechanics at will. We hope any bugs found will be reported to the Staff so corrections can be made. You can register an account for the Beta through the ‘Register’ tab in our official website https://www.tibiarelic.com/. Please note that our website is still under development, as our main concern for now was to make sure the 'Register', 'My account', and 'Download' functions were working as they should.

Keep in mind that, in order to avoid spoilers, this Beta version does not contain any books nor NPCs other than the ship captains and flying carpet owners. This is a measure to prevent players from fishing for potential spoilers that might give them an edge when searching for ways to access the custom areas of the game once it gets released. Also, there will be introduced several generic Assistant NPCs that will help you to model your character to your testing preferences. They will grant you experience, skills, equipment, spells and money when asked. Although runes will not be sold by NPCs in the official release, these assistant NPCs will sell them to you during this Beta, making it easier to set up potential hunts and other testing scenarios.

In summary, this Beta is NOT a display of our custom content, which we will keep hidden until the official launching. It is simply an open test to verify if all the game mechanics are working as they’re supposed to and also to identify potential issues in our client and connection system. Please keep in mind that any experience progress made by a character during the Beta Version will be reseted once the official launching happens and may be reseted a few times even during the Beta itself.

Thanks for your participation, and see you in-game!

Best regards, the Tibia Relic team.
