RIFT 1.3 - Waves of Madness
Starting on June 22, embark on an epic 20-Player Raid in RIFT™ 1.3: Waves of Madness and begin a new chapter in the RIFT saga.

A dark tide rises and the Waves of Madness are set to drown Telara. Hideous secrets await within the halls of Hammerknell: the secret of Dwarven sins, which filled their city with horrors when the rifts came, and a deeper, darker secret, older than the city itself. Akylios, dragon lord and master of the faceless cult the Abyssal, writhes in the depths below Hammerknell, and only the strongest raid will break through to confront him—and face certain madness.

But before descending into the Delve, the Ascended will have to withstand the Endless Court and the Abyssal's frenzied onslaughts. Both cults seek to control Hammerknell, and if the immortal heroes of Telara hope to cleanse the fortress themselves, they must confront many Faceless and vanquish many Endless, fighting alongside Scotty Malm and the Dwarven Runeguards at the foot of the accursed prison.

See what you can do to help combat the planar menace during the Hammerknell Opening Event and read more about what’s in store for RIFT 1.3, including guild banks, free character transfers, and more! Will you be ready?
