It's officially leagues Reveal Season - let's get demonic!
To make the wait a little more bearable before Leagues VI: Demonic Pacts launches on April 15th, we'll be dropping a surprise reveal about the league every day until just before launch, and gathering them all here in one handy newspost!
Overview
Your character starts in Yama's Lair with an exit to Civitas illa Fortis.
Your character begins restricted to the area of Varlamore. As you complete tasks, you can unlock more areas. Karamja will be locked at the start of this league, but will be a forced unlocked once you reach your first area unlock, followed by three additional regions you choose yourself. Misthalin is completely inaccessible during this league.
Full information about each of the areas can be found in the Area Selection menu. This can be accessed from the leagues menu in the Journal panel.
All experience gained is heavily increased, and this will further increase as you unlock more relics. Exact multipliers can be viewed in the Relics menu.
Sailing will not be enabled this league and content released during Leagues VI will be reviewed and enabled for the league on a case-by-case basis.
We're not ready to reveal this just yet, you shouldn't be looking here... naughty naughty!
Each area has an Echo Boss, these are enhanced bosses that pose a higher challenge and drop new unique rewards. Killing the regular boss may drop an Echo orb that lets you access the Echo variant. More information can be found in the area interfaces.
Leagues VI: Demonic Pacts will run from April 15th until the game update on June 10th (a total of 84 days).
Your character is an Ironman, meaning you cannot trade with other players or use the Grand Exchange.
You will start off in a new area this League, Varlamore.
You will auto complete the following quests:
You will auto complete the following Combat Achievements:
You will start with the following stat increases:
A Dramen staff will be added to your Inventory along with the usual starter items so that you can access Fairy rings. If lost, you can reclaim it from the leagues tutor in Yama's lair.
You can also claim a free spade, Impling jar and two Strange devices from the leagues Tutor in Yama's Lair.
As you progress through relic tiers, you'll also gain powerful passive effects starting with:
Bosses & Monsters:
Items:
Access:

Yama's Lair
The way you begin this league will be unlike anything else you've seen so far as Yama's created a unique version of his domain where you will spawn upon your arrival and as you go through the leagues Tutorial. After that you'll have free reign to explore this new lair which features lots of demons running around making sure everything's in check for the league to commence!
One very nice thing Yama has done for you this league is allowed you to use the stepping stones in the lava pool to train your Agility from level 1. Be careful though as this agility course is slightly different and you're likely to get burnt if you mess up. You'll also be able to come back to the lair at any time if you use your home teleport in the spellbook.
New Starting Area: Varlamore
You may have seen some cryptic messages before that hinted towards this and while we still aren't sure how that happened, Yama is finally ready to confirm your very first area will be Varlamore!
While the Master of Pacts had some bane-related issues with Misthalin, he already wanted to mix things up this league to give everyone the same fresh start and what better place than an area we recently released. A land of wonder, nostalgia and exploration that offers you plenty of what you already seek.
We'll admit, this new region doesn't have everything, but that's half the fun of leagues, discovering new ways to progress and challenge yourself to unfamiliar paths.
So what does Varlamore have?
So yeah, that's quite a lot! While there are things we've missed, we're sure you'll have fun planning the beginning of your route around this new start and we've notified Civitas illa Fortis to be prepared for the flood of new arrivals and they've helped us prepare:
This list represents the key drops affected in Varlamore:

Echo Bosses & Echo Rewards
Echo Bosses are back and they want their revenge! Taking out contracts with Yama has infused them in a devilish new look and they are eager to see you take them on. Of course, you'll need to fight the original version of the bosses to acquire their respective Echo Orbs to unlock this demonic variant.
