<br>

<i>As the long days of summer draw to an end, the dwarfs return to their holds to circle around warm fires and tell stories of the glorious past. Much as the warmth of summer fades, so too has the glory of Karaz Ankor. With each passing year more names are added to the list of heroes recounted on the feast of Saga.</i>

<i>Saga is a somber feast day to remember fallen holds and heroes of Karaz Ankor. In doing so, old grudges are recalled, and hopefully old grudges are stricken from The Book. Join your realm in avenging past wrongs, and slaying those who grudge your people so greatly.</i>

=<b>The Grudgemaker and Vengeance-Driven Buffs</b>=
Saga is all about killing those who wronged you, and not letting yourself get knocked down and turned into a grudge entry for next year. With this in mind, two buffs are active during the Saga live event!

*Grudgemaker:
Grudgemaker is a new limited-time buff that is obtained by killing players in RvR and going on a killing-streak. The player who deals the death blow gains a stack of Grudgemaker for themselves and their party. This buff will increase your renown gain, making each successive kill worth more renown for you and your party! Renown gain increases start at 1% and can reach 25% based on seven brackets. But be careful, because the higher your Grudgemaker buff goes, the more you are worth to your enemies if they kill you! If you are killed, your entire Grudgemaker stack is removed and you have to start your kill-streak all over again.

*Vengeance-Driven
Vengeance-Driven is a new limited-time buff for those who fell in battle, but got back up with a bit of grit in their teeth! Players who are killed earn the Vengeance-Driven buff, which will increase their stats. Vengeance-Driven will increase your base stats (strength, willpower, toughness, initiative, weapon skill, ballistics skill, intelligence, but not wounds) from 2% up to a maximum of 25% across eight brackets. Every time you die in RvR, you gain a stack of Vengeance-Driven, and every time you or your party kill a player you lose a stack.

Grudgemaker and Vengeance-Driven only apply within RvR, so get into the lakes and don't stop fighting until the enemy lies dead!

=<b>[[Personal Book of Grudges]]</b>=
During Saga players can create their [[Personal Book of Grudges]] by gathering the necessary materials for this item. The Grudgesettler's Quill can be obtained via your race's specific questline. The Grudgesettler's Ink is the basic live event reward. The Grudgesettler's Parchment is obtainable by repeatable quests that match your playstyle. Once a player has acquired the necessary ingredients for their book, they can purchase a pocket item that increases their damage done by 2%to the enemy race which has grieved them the most. These pocket items will decay after 60 days, so settle your grudges quickly!

=<b>Fortress Victor's Tale</b>=
Did you hear of the glorious defense of Stonewatch, or the fall of Fell Landing? Well listen up beardling, because I've got a tale to share with you!

Players who successfully participate in a fortress siege - offense or defense - will be rewarded with the Fortress Victor's Tale. This buff will increase their Influence gain by 10% for 3 hours, and will give them a granted ability to share this tale up to two times with two allies who were not able to partake in the fortress-festivities, but dutifully cheered their realm on.
