New dungeon - Beneath: The Nightmare of Jox

And that's a wrap for the event! This releases our first instanced 'dungeon' where you have to fight through several bosses and normal 'trash' NPCs. Beneath: the nightmare of Jox.
Varian knocked the great Leviathan unconscious during the recent events and sealed it once more with a barrier of divine energy. Jox and the Nightmare are now one and the same: to quell one is to quell the other. Adventurers must form into groups of three (for any more than that risks disturbing Jox) to delve into the Nightmare and quell the horrors that lay within it.
The entrance to the Nightmare can be found at room 50798 and you can TOUCH BARRIER to enter. To join the instance of your group leader, you need to TOUCH BARRIER <leader> after they have gone through - similar to operating Xaanhal.
Inside the barrow, before the entrance, you can find glyphs you can also TOUCH to receive some clues to the mechanics of each of the bosses. These can be found at v49980 and v49981.
Once you have defeated the final boss, a pillar of warped flesh will appear. Everybody in your group should TOUCH the pillar to receive nightmarish momentos - a new currency for the dungeon shop that will eventually open. This is a 'virtual' currency - it has no physical item and cannot be traded but you can see how many you have on CURRENCY REPORT.
And that's about it - good luck! A help file will follow sometime soon with more information.
P.S. if you missed the event, remember you can use the GLOBALS command to review what happened. We'll be leaving the full history in there for some time, likely until the events post is done.
Penned by my hand on Kinsday, the 10th of Lanosian, in the year 476 MA.
