History
Herald of Light closed Epic Tale of Aden on NA on 16 June 2021 — the last ETA-titled Live chapter before the Deathknight / Master Class era began that October. Light-and-herald fantasy gave the saga a bright curtain call after years of dragons, crusades, and salvation arcs. For remaining Live players it was both a content drop and an ending: the Epic Tale name would not define the next Wikipedia-style table; Master Class would.
Why it mattered
Saga closer. Tag mid-2021 Live media that still wears ETA identity, and stories that end with “that was our last Epic Tale season before Master Class.”
Lore beats
- Light-herald branding as ETA’s curtain call
- Live timeline pivots toward Master Class that autumn
- Archive shelf for the final Epic Tale summer
Key changes
- NA 16 June 2021
- Closes Epic Tale of Aden
- Handoff to Deathknight / Master Class
