Summary Edit

Event included Virindi Towers that hovered above the ground near Cragstone, Hebian-To, and Zaikhal.
They were part of the joint Tumerok and Virindi invasion force. Many of the Tumerok invading Dereth were part of Tumerok clans and dropped parts to their clan banner weapons. See Tumerok Banners Quest for more information.
Tumerok camps were located near the Virindi Towers.
Killing the unique Tukerok camp creatures summoned portals to the Tumerok camp dungeons.
At the end of each dungeon was a portal to the top of the Virindi Tower nearest the camp.
Inside the tower was a "controller" creature such as the Controller Doll, Controller Puppet or a Controller Master.
Once the controller was killed, a server broadcast message was made and the Advance camp disappeared - only to be replaced by another camp near the 2nd tower, the Middle Guard tower, which had harder creatures and a higher level requirement to enter.
It is unknown what effect killing the final Controller in each of the 3rd and final Reinforcement Towers had during the event.
