Neverwinter announced that Episode 2 of the new Sharandar module has arrived for PC. Titled "The Soul Keeper," it evolves Sharandar and takes players to Mended Grove to discover more about why the dead are haunting the land. This latest episode also brings some new features along with new areas and new quests, among many others.
Console players may need to wait a little longer as the version for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One is scheduled on May 13.
In Episode 2, it seems that the blight present in New Sharandar has receded. However, a new dark cloud has arrived in the forest and is slowly approaching Mended Grove. The Eladrin elves, long-buried, have risen and are walking the land as the undead. The problem is they’re not alone as joining them are the Iliyanbruen elves, ones corrupted by the Night Hag. As players work to help the elves of New Sharandar, they face what could be the strongest of the Night Hag’s minions, particularly the undead servants.
