Dear Players, the next event is War of the Hucksters. Registration begins on Tuesday, 24th of March, the event itself launches 1 week later, on 1st of April, 14pm CET (8am EST).
During this event, you can join a huckster's army or remain neutral during the conflict. If you join, you can't quit until the end of the war. But you may betray your lord, you can join another team.
If you are participating, you will get a different duel window, displaying players who also participate. You can attack anyone who is not in your team, even horde members (but fellow clan members only if your infection is 100%).
The fight itself goes by the rules of the normal duel, you can complete quests, drag to torture chamber. But you do not steal SE from the target - you get a fixed amount of SE instead which your opponent doesn't lose, like with energy harness. Some effects (soul-draining, scarab, APt subtracting punish items) don't work, and these fights don't count towards wars (so if you have a war running when the event begins, likely it will end with a draw!). For people with energy harness this SE is increased in proportion with EH skill. Attacks cost a duel point and an event point. You get event points for hunts after signing up. After the battle, you cure some of the wounds, amount depends on your heal wounds skill. Horde hatred skills has no effect, but you may purchase a relic, called nemesis at the soul huckster. This relic gives bonus against the members of a given team. Also (this is a new feature!) this nemesis grants you +10% SE for each fight (works vs everyone not only a specific team). You get rewards based on the number of victories. (Only battles you initiated count). If you switch to another team, your victory count will be reset!
During the event, a large number of additional crystal horde members will appear (followers of the hucksters) you can attack these only via this duel window. You can also attack the members of the original CH, but as mentioned before, these fights don't count towards previous wars.
The normal duel window will be available as well. There you can fight players who didn't sign up for the event, using the normal duel rules. If any of the combatants did not sign up, normal duel rules apply.

Additional info:
- During the event, you can buy a time-limited event, iceheart amulet (soul-huckster, relics). It gives +50 continuum diminution skill so you can attack more often.
- You can purchase subplasma pack (as usual) if you need to attack more targets.
- We add a new relic to the rewards, bronze/silver/golden minion focus (+2/+4/+/ XP per battles and challenges to your active minion).
- For every 7 victory (or for every 5, if your map finding skill is green) you get an extra treasure: minion crystal, minion food, golden ducat or temple crystal (in fixed order).
- Nemesis gives now +10% SE bonus on every huckster duel won.
Good luck to you all!

I think Miklos mentioned at some point that all major events will hold a Fetish as reward. I guess I am wrong and this event won't give us an extra minion 
it's going to be a LONG time before my minions get to level 250 but just getting a new one even at level 50 would add +5 to all stats... that's still worth having... Ohh well, next even then
