Eltnen is the Elyos territory added by the Chapter 1. Lands of Sand and Snow update on July 1, 2026, on the Korean and Taiwanese build. It is the first expansion of the Elyos map beyond Verteron, and it is themed as a land losing its water: NCsoft frames it as the land where life and water vanished.
Its Asmodian counterpart is Morheim, and the two shipped together.
Getting There
Finishing the hero quest line in Verteron spawns a spatial transfer portal in that territory. The portal checks character level, item level and combat power before it will carry you, so Eltnen is gated on progression rather than on story alone.
Sub-Areas
NCsoft has published these sub-areas in Korean only. The renderings below are the Korean names as they appear in the client, with what the region material says about each; there is no official English naming for them as of September 13, 2026.
Area (Korean) | What it is |
|---|---|
루브레인 구릉지 | The first area you reach coming from Verteron. The Chengarung merchant group, the largest Shugo trading outfit in the Elyos realm, runs a small branch office at its entrance. |
에이론 언덕 | A stretch that has kept more greenery than the rest, slowed in its decline by a Daeva of life who once stayed there. Only ruins and the traces of barracks remain, and the Lepharists comb the plain for a fallen Artifact. |
라세핀 마을 | Built where a mystical spring once stood. It fell to ruin after the Daeva of life disappeared and was rebuilt by Chloris and her group, who keep the central spring as a water source while Nikos and Chloris's people hold order. |
Content
Eltnen carries the field layer NCsoft shipped with Chapter 1 across both new territories: Sealed Dungeons, Strongholds and Monoliths as reward structures, alongside the usual field bosses and travel network.
NCsoft has said the two new territories roll out across Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 rather than arriving complete, so the Eltnen on the live build is a partial map by design.
Global Availability
Eltnen is Korean and Taiwanese live-build content. NCsoft has not published which Chapter 1 content is present in the global build at launch on October 5, 2026, and the global build has been described as starting with a backlog of existing content to be paced out. Do not assume Eltnen is in the global launch map.
