Someone or something has summoned a horde of cursed black kats into the Clockworks. These shadowy beasts hunger for arcane power and raided the Moorcroft Manor Archives' precious collection of magical grimoires.

In the wrong hands these ancient tomes could be kata- er, catastrophic, but it turns out that black kats can't read, so they instead decided to just eat them.

The residents of Moorcroft Manor would like you to retrieve the Ancient Pages of the magical grimoires that quite likely reside in the stomachs of black kats. We'll leave you to figure out just how to recover them...

Hail Knights!

I wanted to provide the community with a sense of what's coming up in a future update to Spiral Knights.

Our recent projects, including Guild Halls, were selected based in part on feedback from players, both in the forums and from some of the surveying we do from time to time. The requests are, of course, many and varied; however, one of the frequently requested features for the game has been pets.

We've been exploring some ideas that combine elements of a pet-like feature to increase the variety and type of play available to players. We're calling this project 'Battle Sprites'.

It’s that magical time of the year when Impostoclaus brings presents and wintery cheer to every kind-hearted creature on Cradle! So join in the celebration and receive FREE holiday prizes!

From now through January 3rd, 2013, we're giving away free Winterfest Prize Boxes AND Frosty Prize Boxes with select energy purchases!

That’s right, select energy purchases will receive BOTH a Winterfest Prize Box and a Frosty Prize Box!

As snow begins to fall on Haven once more the Strangers and snipes have begun to celebrate Winterfest! This year the holiday festivities include a new Coliseum map, a special Prestige Mission, exclusive prizes and more!

Impostoclaus has come to town but unfortunately not every child will be receiving a present from him. In the gremlin outcast town of Emberlight, a faction of fiendish, green-furred gremlins called 'grinchlins' have begun an attack on Emberlight. These grinchlins seek to rob the orphans of Emberlight of their presents and even destroy Impostoclaus!

Find out how you can save Winterfest and earn some great holiday rewards!

Battle over a snow-swept cityscape where the snow is not just for shoveling, but great for throwing at other knights!

Features:

- A 3 CP map where the combat is fast and frigid - watch out for those snowballs!

- Open up even faster routes to your CP via a back door button

- The Slush Puppy in the central square guards plenty of snowballs, but it won't be happy if you try to take them!
