Long ago a group of mages, the Many Starred Cloaks, vanished under mysterious circumstances. Most assumed the mages had perished in the Spellplague. They were wrong. Now called the Cloaked Ascendancy, the remaining wizards of the order have returned to Neverwinter with a new mission.
The Cloaked Ascendancy Campaign was added to the game on February 21st 2017 (), with the release of Module 11: The Cloaked Ascendancy. Most of the campaign takes place in the River District, and the dungeon Spellplague Caverns is unlocked through this campaign.

Boons[ | ]
Similar to most other campaigns in Neverwinter, some of the tasks available in the Cloaked Ascendancy Campaign offer boons as a reward. You may choose 4 boons total, one from each category. The Cloaked Ascendancy Campaign is slightly different than other campaigns in regards to boons in that you have more freedom in the order of which you receive the boons, (i.e. based on the tasks you choose to complete first in the campaign, you can end up with any of the boons from the first 3 categories below as your first boon). No other campaign (other than Strongholds) offers this freedom.

- Aura of Despair - When you kill an enemy, you have a chance to emit an aura of despair that stuns up to 5 enemies within 25 feet for 4 seconds
- Aura of Hope - When you kill an enemy, you have a chance to emit an aura of hope that boosts AP gain for all allies within 25 feet for 10 seconds
