Patch 5: A Call to Arms was added to the live servers on April 19th, 2005.

Narrative
More than two full moons have passed since the advent of Oblivion, when all Aerynth felt the wrath of Ithriana the Lich-Queen. These have been weeks of wonder and horror, but new rumors now whisper of… hope? Though the War of Crowns still rages, fought by the would-be emperors of Aerynth, there are new signs that the peoples of Aerynth stand firm against the undead tide. The Conclave of Magi have never relented in their study of recently-unearthed Ardani texts, and have at last revived the ancient science of Alchemy! The mysterious Refiners of the Order of Transcendence have gained new powers, and new notoriety: instead of merely altering their clients' memories and knowledge, they now reshape the very bodies and minds of any who will pay their price, offering a chance to correct a life lived in error. Finally, the new Lords of Aerynth have issued a Call to Arms; Recruiters now shine like beacons in the shadow, calling any who lack a home to join their master's cause. Will these new inventions save the war-worn peoples of Aerynth, or destroy them? Not even the sages know…
