'Our options are exhausted, as are the defenders. I do not know how much longer we can hold the fortress, ${PLAYER}. We must fall back into the Hornburg and defend it for as long as we can! We must fall back to the keep!'

There are two ways to participate in the defence of the Hornburg. You can speak to Cenric for the Storied Tale, a story-focused experience. Or you can use the Epic Battles Panel for a more gameplay-intensive experience.

To participate in the defence of the Hornburg, open the Epic Battles Panel and select 'The Hornburg' from the menu. After you successfully complete the defence, you will be returned to the location from which you entered it.
