SOE has deployed a new update to Dragon's Prophet that adds the 'Highlord' system and Alentia, a brand new zone.
The Highlord system allows players who have secured a Citadel in the game's Frontier PvP system to set taxes, trade, gather resources and even set construction points. Additionally, Highlords can dole out quests and even summon NPCs possessing unique abilities that grant bonuses to all Alliance members living within the territory.
