The event ran from February 28th - May 6th 2012.
Destroy the Rogue Vampires[]
Congratulations!
We who belong to the Turned have always stood united, but there are those among us who thrive in evil.
The sacrifice of a Chosen One every thousand years buys an ancient clan of Mayan vampires a millennium of unbridled evil. The bloodline of the innocent Chi'ol tribe was all but wiped out in this clan's hunt for the Chosen. You must travel back a thousand years and avert this disaster. Palenque is where you begin. -Sagaan
Players travel backwards through time to The Maya to help an ancient caste of Vampires. Unlike other Portal Events, no key is required to enter The Maya.
