Centuries after Siel's death in the Cataclysm, the children of the ten remaining Empyrean Lords entered Balaurea, determined to take the fight to Balaur once again. Tiamat's forces were to be the first line of defense, but soon fell back, unable to stem the tide of Daevas flooding into Balaurea. Tiamat has since ordered the Balaur to retreat, including Sematariux and Padmarashka, the two Dramata. Sematariux and Padmarashka are each responsible for fostering thousands of Drakan children, and are crucial to the Balaur war effort. While Sematariux abandoned its eggs without hesitation, Padmarashka remained despite Tiamat's orders—a disparate mother devoted to its children.

With the Balaur in retreat, Padmarashka now stands as the final obstacle to conquering Inggison and Gelkmaros. Confront Padmarashka, and secure the path to inner Balaurea where Tiamat awaits!

Entering Padmarashka's Cave

The entrance to Padmarashka's Cave is located in both Inggison and Gelkmaros. To enter Padmarashka's Cave, each player in the Alliance will need the Padmarashka's Cave Key, which can be obtained from the Balaur outside the entrance to Padmarashka's Cave in both Inggison and Gelkmaros.

Only one Padmarashka's Cave Key can be carried in the player's cube, however, an infinite number of Padmarashka's Cave Keys can be deposited in a Pet Bag, allowing players to carry more than one.

When entering Padmarashka's Cave, the key is consumed, and should the player want to re-enter, they will need another key.
