###### **New Campaign Begins**
A brand new Campaign begins today. Follow Keghammer to the Blighted Lands to investigate an axe that he really wants…
###### **Heroic Gem: Enraged Gem**
During this Campaign, we have a Heroic Gem that players may encounter in puzzle battles – the Enrage Gem.
Enrage Gems are Red Gems that when destroyed, will Enrage a random Ally.
Enrage Gems will occasionally (but rarely) drop like regular Gems during the Axe of the Horde Campaign. Some Troops and Weapons will also be able to create them.
Once the Campaign is over, they will no longer fall randomly, though the Troops and Weapons that create them, will continue to function.
###### **Artifact: Axe of the Horde**

During this Campaign, players can earn Stars to level this Campaign’s Artifact – Axe of the Horde. Each new level will expand the story of the Campaign and also give Skill Point bonuses to all battles (including PvP and Guild Wars).
_(These bonuses will only apply during the Campaign and are lost when the Campaign ends)._
###### **Elite Pass Rewards Sneak Peek**
We have a sneak peek at a few of the rewards that will be available from the Elite Pass reward track.

When the campaign ends, players can still earn unique rewards in the following ways:
- _Krag’Rax Bloodskull_ – He will start appearing in chests 3-4 weeks after the Campaign ends.
- _Axe of Krag’Rax_ – This weapon will be craftable from the Soulforge the next time during their Kingdom’s event after the Campaign ends.
- _Portraits, Emojis and Titles_ – Like Social Collectibles from Events, these will become available to purchase from Gems about 3 months after the Campaign ends.
- _Bloodmoon_ – As this pet is cosmetic, it will only be available during special Pet Rescues after the Campaign ends.
- _Shiny Krag’Rax Bloodskull Tokens_ – These tokens will go into Shiny Chests as a rare drop 3-4 weeks after the Campaign ends.

Tell the devs that their bots need to check their info. This should be during: “The Axe of the Horde Campaign.”
Can’t wait to see what bugs come crawling out during Guild Wars…🤣

Trying to buy campain pass + causes CE error.
Regular pass works as intended.

I was hoping the campaign-long task rewards might give different coloured books and deeds but it seems we have red again. It would be nice if the rewards from those tasks gave out different colours like the ones for getting campaign stars change each campaign.
Purple books would be nice.

I’ll get it updated properly. It’s not a bot that makes these.

Did books of deeds in campaign tasks change colour? I collected a couple of red ones earlier in the week, and got a brown one just now.

Yes, a fix went out for this issue it seems after I finished for the day

> Platform, device version and operating system: PC/Mobile What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened: I was expecting to get deeds and books from Campaign Tasks that match in color those handed out by the Campaign Pass. The Campaign Pass is on a color rotation, currently brown. The Campaign Tasks seem to be stuck on red. This is especially annoying because recent changes locked F2P players out of books from the Campaign Pass, only receiving red books means most kingdoms can …
