Capt. Abraxas, one of the last surviving sages of the first generation is deeply worried. The dark star has risen; and although many CABALists have volunteered to help prevent the impending doom, the kingdom can only do accommodate so much people. People all over the Nevareth streamed towards the cities like an unending flood.  It is taxing the Kingdom’s resources to the breaking point. He was worried that starvation and chaos might threaten Nevareth before they could stop the Dark one from rising. “There must be a way to deal with this,” he thought.

He sought knowledge from his library, assembling his old scrolls and ancient books. He scanned electronic data archives and books, hoping to find a way to keep Nevareth from drowning in a sea of humanity.  After many sleepless nights, he finally found what he was looking for. According to the Old Record, there exists a spell created during Nevareth’s Honorable Age  a spell so powerful that it could open new worlds, even dimensions beyond human comprehension. But the preparation is long and hazardous.  Getting the special core  needed required one to battle the boss monster who guards these like treasure.

 To perform the ritual needed for the spell, he told himself he  will also need the help of a trused and talented friend.

He called for Naiin, the force wielding prodigy from Desert Scream. Capt. Abraxas was confident that Naiin will be able to gather the materials that the ritual required.

Naiin came at once. She listened to Capt. Abraxas’s story, wincing and shuddering at every mention of the boss monster’s name. At last, Capt. Abraxas was able to convince her that there’s no other way to save Nevareth. Naiin agreed to take the quest and the day after they met, she began her perilous journey.

Weeks passed with no news about Naiin or the special core. Finally, on the fifth week, she appeared at Capt. Abraxas’s doorstep. Exhausted, she collapsed before she could even knock at the door.
Abraxas brought her inside and saw that Naiin was triumphant as she cradled the core in her arms.

On the same night, Capt. Abraxas performed the spell that would change Nevareth forever. He placed the core at his specially prepared altar and enveloped it with as much force as he could gather. The process was strenuous and complicated; if it was not done properly, it could take the caster’s life and devastate the surrounding land. Naiin was there, assisting the old sage.

Capt. Abraxas was determined to open the gateway to another world, a path to a new Nevareth. As the ritual ends and the the spell is completed, a wind erupted with tremendous force. He braced himself,  closed his eyes and silently prayed…and waited.


“Captain Abraxas?” Naiin called out. She waved away the swirling dust and sand in front of her.   Suddenly, an implosion of wind and earth happened almost dragging her near the altar. It lasted only  a hearbeat but there’s one thing she’s certain: it has something to do with the core.

She slowly pressed forward, careful not to disturb any of the captain’s arrangement. A few seconds later, the wind finally faded and sand fell back to the ground. There, in front of her, was a wide-eyed and motionless figure. He seemed to be mesmerized by something. Naiin ran towards her friend.

“Captain! Captain Abraxas! Are you okay?”

“Y-Yes, I’m okay,” Captain Abraxas replied. He grabbed Naiin by the shoulder, his face brimming with excitement. “Naiin! Can’t you see it? I’ve succeeded in opening the warp gate!”

Naiin looked at the space that the captain was referring to. There was nothing there.

“I’m sorry, Capt. Abraxas, I don’t see anything.”

Capt. Abraxas looked at her intently, eyes small like that of a hawk. “Are you sure? Nothing at all? Not even a shadow?”

“Nothing. Capt. Abraxas, you must be tired. Let’s go to your home, I’ll prepare some hot dire boar in wrigglefruit soup for you.” She put her arms on the old man’s shoulders and guided him towards the house.

Capt. Abraxas silently allowed Naiin to lead him away, a thousand questions swirling in his mind. Confused and tired, he looked back one more time. There, beyond the huge portal, a gigantic mass of earth and gasses was floating in deep space. He couldn’t be wrong…definitely,  it was  Neptune…

If you thought that only the 7 Sages controlled the power in all of Nevareth, think again.

In CABAL Online, the power resides in you, dear CABAList, and this is why we are opening the gates of Nevareth to give you the chance to recommend your own in-game events that you want to be seen implemented.

Calling all Nation heroes!

The war is upon Nevareth. As sworn members of your chosen Nation, it’s your duty to defend your territory against the opposing factions. However, before you enter the battle field, you must prepare your body and spirit. The War Server is not merciful to CABALists who have weak resolution. Know everything there is to know because knowledge will strengthen your spirit as you cross swords and exchange skills with your enemy. Practice your skills because your skill mastery will keep you alive when force arrows fall from the sky. Finally, know your history because this will keep the fire burning in your heart.


The Sage Tower Falls
As you already know, the Sage Tower is the center of administrative power that holds the whole kingdom together. However, after the disappearance of the three Sages—Sirius, Aldebaran, and Rigel—Capella and Procyon decided to create their own Nation that advocates their own ideologies. The Nevarethans were confused with the sudden fall of the Sage Tower and turned to the two sages for guidance. The people became divided. Soon, a war erupted…a war that would last for generations, until one of them becomes the supreme wielder of power and bring of Glory to Nevareth.

Enemy Territory (War Server/Map)
To a hero, honor is more valuable than all the alz in Nevareth. That’s why it is important to know how you can earn more honor points aside from completing quests and conquering dungeons. Note that whenever you kill monsters or players in the War Server, you gain honor points. The amount of honor points earned this way varies.

If you are an undecided hero, meaning you haven’t chosen a Nation yet, you earn 1 honor for every monster that you kill.

If you have already chosen a Nation, the amount of honor points that you gain depends on the amount of players of the opposite Nation that are on the server or map. For example, if at that certain time there were more active players from the opposing Nation than your own, you will gain more honor points for every monster that you kill.

Also, please remember that whenever you kill a player of the opposing Nation on the war server/map, you will gain 50 honor points. The name of the players from the opposing Nation is displayed in red and is scrambled when they are in war maps.

Finally, if you kill a player without a Nation (orange name), you will gain the same amount of honor points as when you kill a normal monster.

The Nation Wars
You can only join the Nation Wars after you complete the Nation Quest, which you can take only upon reaching level 95. After you’ve chosen either Capella or Procyon, you can take part in the daily struggle for National dominance. Only the first 100 heroes from each Nation can enter Tierra Gloriosa, the War Server. The two Nations will battle over the outposts that are being controlled by massively powerful guardians. The Nation that takes control of the opposing Nation's capitol will control the battlefield.

The war will go on day after day, however due to the agreement that Capella and Procyon entered with Sirius, the war can only last for one hour (1hr) per day. Entry to the Nation War costs 1,000,000 Alz, which will not be refunded regardless of whether you quit or get disconnected. The lobby is open for half an hour before the Nation War so that the members of each Nation will have time to plan their strategies, purchase items from the Grocer, leave items with the Agent of Port Services, and recover from their previous battles. While only 250 players can enter the lobbies, only 100 from each Nation can take part in the Nation War.

There are two kinds of Nation Wars: Personal and Mission.

Personal Nation Wars–is a general battle where players receive rewards based on the number of outposts they overtake and enemies they killed. It takes place once a day from Sunday through Friday from 18:00 to 20:00 hours.

Mission Nation Wars–after a Mission Nation War, all members of the Nation that won will receive spoils of war. Mission Nation Wars take place once every Saturday from 18:00 to 20:00 hours and on special events.


Now that you have the knowledge, it is up to you to live the oath that you have taken when you joined your Nation. Prepare yourselves for a glorious war on Tuesday, August 12!

Dear faithful gamers of CABAL,

News of some players exploiting the use of third party programs in order to gain advantage in the game has been a concern we’ve been trying to address since this has been brought to our attention.

By engaging in the use of these programs, the gaming environment tilts to an imbalanced level. While you may advance in rank and accumulate your wealth, other gamers who play and devote their earnest time in grinding become disadvantaged over this.

The use of third party programs and even private servers are an outright violation of the e-Games/CABAL Online Terms of Service, and are thus considered illegal. These actions also prove to be detrimental to the game and the community we all love.

As such, we would like to strongly encourage you, CABALists, and even our esteemed partner i-Cafes to practice fair gaming and to avoid distributing/using third party programs and private servers. Tell your friends and your customers to play and enjoy the game the normal and safe way. In that perspective, not only do you appreciate your character’s steady growth, you’ll also get to know this great community of active gamers.

Rest assure that we are still strictly enforcing the necessary penalties for those caught engaging in this illegal practice. We shall continue to remain vigilant and watchful over those who violate the rules. We hope that you will also remain the same as we continue to nurture this great community of avid CABAL players.

Let us work together to make CABAL Online the best game there is!


Team e-Games/CABAL

Good Day to all!

After the Scheduled Server Maintenance of August 5, 2008, we successfully increased the Level CAP to Level 150 and Skill RANK- Transcender.
CABALists may now access the Mutant Forest and Pontus Ferrum Maps. We wish everyone the best of luck in their training as we all prepare for the upcoming Nation Wars.

Happy Grinding! ^_^
