Warm your hands by the fire, for CTA: Battle for the Bridge explodes back into Neverwinter!

The Firecross bridge on Mount Hotenow has been captured! The fire giant Grumthrox the Relentless and his minions have taken control of the bridge, cutting off the Hillborn expedition. It is up to you to slay one of the most vicious of the giant generals and regain control of the bridge and to protect Neverwinter.

The fire starts: Thursday, December 10 at 10AM PST 

The fire is put out: Monday, December 14 at 10AM PST

If you and your party successfully reclaim the bridge, you could be rewarded with amazing items, which include: the Flame Sprite companion, unique dyes, brutal enchantments, and of course Medallions of Battle. These medallions can be redeemed from the event vendor, in Protector’s Enclave, for unique weapon transmutes, Refiner’s Cache, and dyes. 

Sword Coast Adventures will also feature a special dungeon to battle the Fire Giant Grumthrox and Medallions of Battle might also drop from all challenges within it.

In addition to the equipment drops from slain creatures (specific to your level), players could receive the following items:

Companion – Flame Sprite

Flame Sprites have a fickle temperament, but an everlasting love of fire. They will sometimes partner with adventurers in pursuit of greater fires. The Flame Sprite companion has initial power points in Hit Points, Power, Critical Strike, and Armor Penetration, along with two offensive slots and one defensive slot for Runestones.

The Flame Sprite's Active Bonus gives you increased AP gain.

This time, we have a Flame Sprite Companion Bundle on sale for a limited time in the Zen Market! You'll receive an Epic Flame Sprite along with helpful items to keep it happy. The bundle will be available when the event starts.

Weapon Transmutes- Your weapons will glow orange like the lava surrounding Mount Hotenow

Searing Magma Dye Pack - A set of bright red, golden and orange, dyes matching the searing heat of the magma deep within Mt. Hotenow.

Brutal Enchantment – You could receive enchantments from rank 1 up to rank 5 as monster drops and from the reward chest.

Refiner's Cache - This cache contains one random enchantment or runestone between rank 2 to 4, possibly even a Brutal Enchantment, Cruel Enchantment, or Savage Enchantment.

And one of the following:

- Greater Mark of Potency

- Mark of Potency

- Lesser Marker Of Potency

- Flawless Sapphire

- Aquamarine

- Peridot
