Ascent Kills Emperor Ssra — Peak Dominance
Ascent · <Ascent> · Rodcet Nife · Ssraeshza Temple
June 14, 2002 — Ascent killed Emperor Ssra, the final boss of Shadows of Luclin. The path there was brutal: Xerkizh the Creator (Dec 29, 2001), Tunare (Jan 6, 2002), Arch Lich (Feb 18), Avatar of War (Mar 20), Burrower Beast (Mar 20), Lord Inquisitor Seru (Apr 29), the Cursed (May 10), High Priest (May 11), and finally the Emperor. No other guild on Rodcet Nife came close to this pace.
Shortly after, the remaining AoD/AL members — Bartox, Praetor, Heaton, Thugs, Vayanla, and many others — joined Ascent. Avatars of Discord was no more.
