Promo Items

We revealed the Longest Night last year, and mentioned it again in our Calendar of Promotions and Events. December reminds us to be aware of the countless observances by all cultures and religions across Elyria. In addition to the acts of menn, we're keen to the importance of real world beliefs and thus, our promotion reflects both the current Immortal Vault lore as well as Earthly familiarity.

The following promo items will be eligible for purchase starting on Monday, December 17th through Monday, December 31st at 12pm PST.

After the promo period ends, all of these items will return to the vault.

Dryas Elk


A traditional mount for the Brudvir, they are only suitable for temperate to arctic latitudes.

The majestic dryas elk is sturdy enough to act as a mount for a Brudvir, though its temperament is decidedly more ornery than a horse since it is more closely related to goats. Because of this heritage, they can tread across snowy or steep and rocky terrain with fewer penalties. Well adapted to the northern climates, they can subsist on tougher or more toxic fare such as tree branches and pine needles. However, their thick fur means they are not suited to warmer biomes and will quickly tire or die if not able to regulate their temperature. As such, dryas elk should be kept in temperate, sub-arctic, or arctic biomes.

This uncommon quality mount can help cover long distances more quickly as long as you watch out for pteroguin and are careful not to get whacked in the face with their horns!

A medium-sized animal, a single dryas elk is capable of pulling a medium-weight vehicle such as a wagon or ballista. It can also be ridden by a medium-sized character without special tack. Two animals can be used to pull a vehicle one size larger, or a single animal may pull up to one size smaller.

Purchasing this item will allow you to redeem the following Standard-quality (except where noted) items from a vendor in-game:

  • 1 x Dryas Elk

Longest Night Recipes


A collection of winter recipes to warm the body and spirit and make it through the Night.

Faceless Owl Pet


A trainable pet that can help with hunting during the night or just be a hoot.

Purchasing this item will allow you to redeem the following Standard-quality items from a vendor in-game:

Help convince the sun to return during the Sunsight Festival. Alchemy skill not included.

Twilight Garden Kit


Survive the Longest Night blues by cultivating some lambent leafage that grows in darkness.

The discovery of flora that glows and grows in the dark was considered a great boon to the people of Elyria. Whether kept in the dark, underground, or sown during Longest Night, these plants provide benefits to those who find themselves surrounded by darkness. The only downside to a night garden is that it requires total darkness and even indirect sunlight or too bright of candlelight can cause them to wilt and die.

The petals of the Nightsight Flower have alchemical properties that imbue a person with improved night vision when consumed. Can be brewed or distilled for better effects.

Ghost Ivy has no known alchemical properties, but its traveling vines are excellent at extending light throughout dim basements, caves, vaults, or other dark and enclosed spaces.

Fully grown Ghost Ivy:
